Beschreibung

Igbo Heritage explores the rich and complex history of the Igbo people of Nigeria, offering a vital look into pre-colonial African societies. Challenging conventional narratives, the book reveals a sophisticated civilization characterized by decentralized governance, thriving trade networks, and profound cultural traditions. The Igbo people, through autonomous village communities and age-grade associations, fostered participatory decision-making, a model starkly different from centralized statehood. Readers will discover how Igbo trade networks spurred economic prosperity and cultural exchange, contributing significantly to Nigeria's diverse cultural landscape.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, synthesizing historical accounts, anthropological studies, archaeological findings, and oral traditions. It meticulously traces the origins and migrations of the Igbo people, delving into their unique political organization and economic practices. Igbo Heritage further examines Igbo culture, including religious beliefs, artistic expressions, and kinship systems. By focusing on the agency and resilience of the Igbo people, the book provides a nuanced understanding of their contributions to Nigerian society and their enduring legacy.

 
Beginning with the historical and geographical context of Igboland, the book progresses through examinations of Igbo political organization, economic life, and cultural practices. It culminates in an analysis of the impact of colonialism and the subsequent struggles for independence, demonstrating how pre-colonial structures shaped post-colonial experiences. This comprehensive approach makes Igbo Heritage a valuable resource for anyone interested in African history, Nigerian studies, and the cultural diversity of the world.

    CONSCIOUSNESS OR SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS THIS IS THE DILEMMA The present society continues to run like a mad elephant, toward global catastrophe. Why do we continue on this road that leads us to a dead end, with end view our own self-destruction? The answer to this question lies in human consciousness itself, the cause of every problem, while Superconsciousness is the solution to every difficulty. What is the difference between consciousness and Superconsciousness? Superconsciousness consciously connects us with everything that exists, and to understand it better we can make the analogy of a network: everything in existence is like a node that can have the illusion of being separate from the rest of the network. Most people are like that, they feel like a node separated from the rest, like a single individual separated from the rest of Humanity. This feeling of separation is the mode in which consciousness operates.

    The Color of Law is a groundbreaking exploration of how government policies in the United States deliberately enforced racial segregation in housing. This revelatory book dismantles the myth that residential segregation is purely the result of individual choices or economic disparities, revealing a deeply ingrained system of laws, zoning ordinances, and institutional practices that have perpetuated inequality for decades. Through meticulous research and powerful examples, the book sheds light on how these policies continue to shape American cities and the socioeconomic realities of millions today.

    By the time the Pleistocene Epoch ended around 12,000 years ago, Homo sapiens had become one of the most significant species on the planet. 	It was also near the end of that period of time that modern humans began to gradually populate what would become Europe, Asia, and the Americas, eventually becoming the inheritors of the Paleolithic era and the only human species to make it into the Neolithic era. 	The cold Pleistocene temperatures lowered water levels across the planet, exposing land that was not there before or after the period. At the same time, significant regions of the planet were very different during the Pleistocene, including Southeast Asia, particularly the modern islands of Bali, Borneo, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula, roughly equivalent to parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. This region, which modern scholars refer to as Sunda or Sundaland, was unique because all of it was connected by land, meaning today’s islands were once part of a contiguous subcontinent, and in terms of the people, flora, and fauna, it was very different than it is today.  
    Among the most significant water displacement phenomena in the Western world was Doggerland on the northern European continent. The notable inundation occurred in both a steady and eruptive fashion covering a vast stretch of former tundra, a land bridge between today’s British Isles and the European continent. The event brought about the modern English Channel and an expanded North Sea, and unlike the early supercontinents, the inundation of Doggerland took place after the appearance of people. Incrementally submerged since roughly 18,000 years ago as the climate warmed, the patch of sea between Britain and Europe is the subject of much recent scientific scrutiny.

    The culture of contempt—the lust to wound perceived opponents who are seen not just as wrong but as evil—has become global in scope. Fed by the rise of “cheap speech” in media, seismic shifts in digital technology, and a boom industry based on selling outrage, people are increasingly unable to understand, much less dialogue with, their ideological rivals. The Catholic Church understands itself as the evangelizer of culture; yet this culture of contempt has evangelized much of the Church. A distressing range of Catholic media platforms and commentators have introduced the poison of contempt into the heart of Catholic life—and with exacting fidelity. In this timely and important new book, Vatican journalist and Crux Editor John L. Allen Jr. offers a bracing analysis of our fractured Catholic media landscape. Examining six case studies of the culture of contempt wounding the Church—four from around the globe, and two from the United States—Allen offers not only a sobering look at the direction Catholic media has headed, but an urgent call for it to change course.

    In late December 1776, the American War of Independence appeared to be on its last legs. General George Washington's continental forces had been reduced to a shadow of their former strength, and the British Army had chased them across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. Desperate times call for desperate measures, however, and George Washington responded to this crisis with astonishing audacity. On Christmas night 1776, he recrossed the Delaware as a nor'easter churned up the coast, burying his small detachment under howling sheets of snow and ice. Undaunted, they attacked a Hessian brigade at Trenton, New Jersey, taking the German auxiliaries by complete surprise. Then, only three days later, Washington struck again, crossing the Delaware, slipping away from the British at Trenton, and attacking the Redcoats at Princeton. 
     
     
     
    The British, now back on their heels, retreated toward New Brunswick as Washington's reinvigorated force followed them north into Jersey. Over the next eight months, Washington's continentals and the state militias of New Jersey would go head-to-head with the British in a multitude of battles, eventually forcing the British to flee New Jersey by sea. In this captivating narrative of the American War of Independence, Jim Stempel brings to life one of the most violent, courageous, yet virtually forgotten periods of the Revolutionary War.
