Sinopse

"African Kingdoms" challenges conventional, often Eurocentric, views by exploring the sophisticated political, economic, and military systems of pre-colonial African societies. Delving into major kingdoms like Great Zimbabwe and the Ashanti Empire, the book reveals how these societies were active agents in shaping their own destinies and influencing global events. It highlights that many of these kingdoms possessed complex governance structures and extensive trade networks, demonstrating their significant contributions to global civilization, often overlooked in traditional histories.

 
This exploration unfolds chapter by chapter, beginning with an introduction that sets the stage by addressing common misconceptions. Subsequent chapters provide case studies, analyzing each kingdom's political structure, economic systems, and military organization. The book's research relies on diverse sources, including archaeological evidence, oral traditions, and primary accounts, ensuring a balanced portrayal.

 
By prioritizing African voices, "African Kingdoms" offers a unique and more accurate perspective on pre-colonial African history. The book culminates by synthesizing its findings to assess the overall impact of African kingdoms on regional and global history. It emphasizes their contributions to trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange, promoting a more nuanced understanding of the African past and its relevance to global history.

 
This approach provides valuable insights into alternative models of governance and development, challenging stereotypes and fostering a deeper appreciation of African heritage.

    Given that there’s such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, but in American history, few rival the tragedy and drama aboard the Squalus in 1939. On May 23 of that year, the Squalus, one of the U.S. Navy’s newest submarines, was undertaking the latest in a series of test dives off the coast of New Hampshire. She had been commissioned less than three months before and represented the cutting-edge of new submarine technology. Provided with eight torpedo tubes and a three-inch deck gun, Squalus had a range of over 11,000 miles and was capable of running at over 20 knots on the surface. This was a formidable warship, and the test dives undertaken in May were a routine part of preparing the submarine for service. 
    After successfully completing a series of dives over the previous days, on the 23rd, the Squalus undertook practice for one of the most challenging maneuvers, a rapid dive performed while the sub was running at full speed on the surface. This was a vital procedure if the submarine was attacked unexpectedly by an aircraft or surface ship - it had to be able to dive quickly in any circumstances. This practice ensured that the crew, and the submarine, were fully prepared.  
    Tragically, during this test dive, the unthinkable happened: the rear section of Squalus flooded, and the submarine, without power, began to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. 26 men in the rear compartments died in the flooding, but 33 men in the forward compartments were still alive as Squalus came to rest on the ocean floor almost 250 feet below the surface.  
    The situation seemed hopeless to everyone but one naval officer, Lieutenant Commander Charles B. "Swede" Momsen.

    Danny Erhardt, a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, has sought the truth, and fortuitously found it. You can too. If you seek it with all your heart. If you love the truth more than the opinions and conclusions that are already in your head. The lies of Satan ("the great deceiver who goes forth to deceive the whole world") cover this earth like a blanket, and people believe whatever they are taught. (Evolution is one of them...) What lies have you been taught? have you learned to hold dear? ...Danny is father to a half dozen boys and girls, and grandfather to a little more than half a dozen.  
    If you have any unintelligent criticisms or thoughtless attacks on the truth, to share, please send them to our Complaint Dept. Administrator, Mrs. Helen Waite. Go to her if you feel the need to vent any or all of the evolutionary indoctrinated lies that we were all fed, and that unfortunately too many still believe. Also, if anyone is offended by any, or all, of the accurate scientific truths and realities imparted here, then please bang your face against your bathroom mirror for about half an hour, and then hide under your mommy's bed for a couple of weeks. This should help.  
    Well, thank you so much for picking up a copy of this book, or considering doing the same. It's called the truth. And may God (you know, the actual Creator of all of this) richly bless you and yours.

    The mental health crisis among young people is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in the number of adolescents and young adults reporting symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. This alarming trend has caught the attention of researchers, educators, and parents alike, as they seek to understand the underlying causes and develop effective solutions. The shift from previous generations to the current one, in which mental health struggles are becoming more visible and prevalent, demands a closer examination of the factors that have contributed to this crisis. 
    Social media has played a significant role in shaping the mental health landscape for today’s youth. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat have become an integral part of daily life, but they also introduce new pressures. Young people are constantly exposed to curated images of success, beauty, and happiness, leading to comparisons that can foster feelings of inadequacy. Cyberbullying, online harassment, and the fear of being excluded from digital circles can all contribute to mental health struggles. The pressure to constantly perform for an online audience has placed an unprecedented emotional burden on young people, and their self-worth is often tied to the number of likes, comments, and followers they have. 
    Another major factor contributing to the rise in youth depression is the shifting dynamics within families and communities. The traditional family structure has evolved, with many young people experiencing broken homes, economic hardship, or the absence of supportive role models. These changes can lead to feelings of isolation, insecurity, and hopelessness.
