Summary

The Mali Empire, a prominent kingdom in West Africa, is explored focusing on its economic, political, and cultural systems. The book emphasizes that the empire's success stemmed not only from abundant gold reserves but also from effective governance and the unifying influence of Islam. For example, the empire became a major center of trade and learning, attracting scholars and merchants from across the Muslim world, which in turn facilitated the exchange of knowledge and goods.

 
The book begins by establishing the geographical and historical context, then details the rise of Sundiata Keita and the subsequent expansion of the empire. A significant portion is dedicated to the empire's economic system, particularly the gold trade centered in cities like Timbuktu. Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca dramatically elevated the empire's international profile and facilitated internal development.

 
The examination of the Mali Empire offers a fresh perspective on West African history, challenging simplistic narratives and providing a nuanced understanding of its internal dynamics and external interactions. Finally, the book addresses the empire's decline due to internal conflicts and external pressures, considering its legacy on West African culture and political thought. Utilizing Arabic chronicles, oral traditions, and archaeological findings, this book offers a comprehensive and accessible account suitable for those interested in World History and African History.

    The Coming Storm - Why water...

    Following Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is suddenly gripped by concerns over energy security. And yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the twenty-first century than the competition for oil or gas.
    The combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty, above all, will shape the political, economic and security environment in the years ahead: that is water. If people and nations will fight for fossil fuels, it is nothing compared to what they will do for the most vital natural resource of all.
    As both a citizen who has supported water charities and worked in the NHS and a politician who has dealt with security and economic issues, Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns that are often written about separately but seldom together and provides a comprehensible and compelling call for urgent action.

  • Liquid Modernity - cover

    Liquid Modernity

    In this book, Bauman examines how we have moved away from a 'heavy' and 'solid', hardware-focused modernity to a 'light' and 'liquid', software-based modernity. This passage, he argues, has brought profound change to all aspects of the human condition. The new remoteness and un-reachability of global systemic structure coupled with the unstructured and under-defined, fluid state of the immediate setting of life-politics and human togetherness, call for the rethinking of the concepts and cognitive frames used to narrate human individual experience and their joint history. 
     
    This book is dedicated to this task. Bauman selects five of the basic concepts which have served to make sense of shared human life—emancipation, individuality, time/space, work and community—and traces their successive incarnations and changes of meaning. 
     
    Liquid Modernity concludes the analysis undertaken in Bauman's two previous books Globalization: The Human Consequences and In Search of Politics. Together these volumes form a brilliant analysis of the changing conditions of social and political life by one of the most original thinkers writing today. 
     
    This audiobook is expertly read by David Pickering, with audio engineering by Logan Nyman. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

    The following is Roosevelt's Infamy Speech to a joint session of Congress on December 8, 1941, one day after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 - April 12, 1945), was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. As the leader of the Democrat Party, Roosevelt won a record four presidential elections, directing the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda, which would define modern liberalism in the United States throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II, which ended in victory shortly after he died in office.
