Sinopsis

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.

Bringing Up Beaver - Two...

John Aberth

A lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a remarkable and charming orphaned beaver kit.On May 10, 2020, an orphaned beaver kit was found in St. Albans, Vermont and handed over to John Aberth, a licensed volunteer wildlife rehabilitator. Over the next two years, John raised the kit, whom he nicknamed "BK," and prepared him for release back into the wild. During that time, John and BK developed a special and unique bond, which John documented in a daily diary. That diary became the basis for Bringing Up Beaver, a lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a wild animal.Bringing Up Beaver is more than just a feel-good story about human encounters with nature. Full of fascinating observations about beaver behavior and biology, Bringing Up Beaver also documents the unique challenges and obstacles to be faced and overcome in rehabbing a wild beaver kit. Populating the story are plenty of other wild creatures that John encountered in the course of his rehab, including other beavers—one of whom became BK's mate—as well as hawks, owls, mink, and weasels. For anyone who has been charmed by a beaver's smile or enjoyed books like Fox and I and Eager, Bringing Up Beaver is a must-listen that will give us a new perspective on the wildlife and nature that exists all around us.

Human & Alien UFO Anti-Gravity...

Martin K. Ettington

Quite a few books have been written about anti-gravity and UFOs. I surveyed the existing literature and determined that a solid collection of real research on anti-gravity and possible Alien anti-gravity technology really does not exist in one place.The US Government has also been doing research on this topic for over seventy years.When I decided to write this book I collected many disparate sources of anti-gravity research and the contributions of possible alien anti-gravity information.The stories of anti-gravity usage in flying craft goes back thousands of years to the stories of Vimanas from ancient Indian texts.Nicola Tesla the famous inventor of AC current and other things was involved with anti-gravity as discussed later in this book.There are also a number of aeronautical and space ships which have been built possibly using anti-gravity technologies. These craft are listed and described here too.Finding technological methods of defying gravity will have incredible implications for space travel and fascinating improvements in our already high tech civilization.
