Sinopse

African Science challenges Eurocentric views by revealing the sophisticated scientific and technological innovations of ancient African civilizations. It highlights that surgical procedures, for example, were performed in Africa centuries before they became common in Europe, demonstrating advanced medical knowledge. Similarly, ancient African astronomers charted the stars with remarkable precision, illustrating their profound understanding of celestial mechanics. The book argues that these advancements significantly contributed to the global body of knowledge, arising from unique problem-solving approaches within specific African contexts.

 
The book systematically explores indigenous knowledge systems, African achievements in medicine (drawing from sources like the Ebers Papyrus), astronomy, and architecture. It examines the rise and fall of African kingdoms such as ancient Egypt and Great Zimbabwe, showcasing the social structures that fostered scientific inquiry. By interweaving archaeology, anthropology, and history, African Science challenges colonial biases and provides a more inclusive understanding of scientific progress, emphasizing the lasting legacy of African innovation.

Equality is a Struggle -...

Thomas Piketty

An acclaimed economist’s observations on four years of events that have shaped the world 
 
In this new volume drawn from his columns for the French newspaper Le Monde, renowned economist Thomas Piketty takes measure of the world since 2021: leaders grappling with the aftershocks of a global pandemic; politics shifting rightward in Europe and America; and wars breaking out and escalating, from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Together with an extended introductory essay arguing that an ecological socialism remains the best hope for global equality, these articles present Piketty’s vivid first draft of history—on the rise of China, political upheaval, armed conflict, inequity within and between nations, discrimination, and beyond. Despite the gathering clouds, Piketty continues to find reasons for hope.

Veerni - A Journey of Female...

Jacqueline de Chollet

The young woman was weaving a shawl. Jacqueline offered to purchase this square of colourful fabric, a few coins jingled on the table. A man immediately appeared and took the money.
In 1993 Jacqueline de Chollet founded The Veerni Project (Veer Ni, 'the brave woman' in Hindi) which strives to uplift women and girls, to break the cycle of poverty and gender inequality, and provide them with essential skills and knowledge through the establishment of a program to attend good secondary schools – universal secondary education being a sustainable goal of the United Nations – as well as training centres and healthcare facilities.
Secondary schooling is often unavailable in many rural settings particularly in the desert area of Rajasthan. By fostering self reliance and promoting women's rights through education, this uplifting story sheds a light on how such endeavours aim to create a sustainable impact on the lives of women, fostering a brighter future for generations to come so that women's voices can be heard in their communities and their countries.
This cultural and sociological adventure takes on a global dimension on the role of women, their struggles, their future and their hopes. These brave women will make the world a better place for all.
