Sinopse

Sahara Crossings explores the transformative history of trans-Saharan trade routes and their profound impact on African societies. It reveals how these desert arteries fostered not only economic exchange but also cultural and political development, shaping empires like Ghana, Mali, and Songhai.

 
The book highlights the ingenuity of desert societies in adapting to harsh conditions, enabling the movement of valuable commodities such as gold, salt, and textiles across vast distances. The book examines the spread of Islam and the rise of powerful empires, emphasizing that the trade routes were more than just commercial pathways; they were vital conduits for cultural exchange and political influence.

 
By analyzing Arabic chronicles, archaeological findings, and other sources, Sahara Crossings challenges Eurocentric views of history, demonstrating Africa's significant role in global interconnectedness throughout the pre-colonial era.

 
The book unfolds by first detailing the geographical challenges and technological innovations, then explores the traded commodities and their impact, followed by case studies of major empires, and culminates with an analysis of the trade's decline and its enduring legacy.

PhD Elizabeth Keating

Uncover new sides of family members you've known your entire life with this indispensable guide. 
 
 
 
Just as the oral histories of people around the world are disappearing amid rapid change, there is a risk that your family's personal stories, too, will be lost forever. In The Essential Questions, anthropologist Elizabeth Keating helps you to uncover the unique memories of your parents and grandparents and to create lasting connection with them in the process. 
 
 
 
As you seek to learn more about your family history, how do you get beyond familiar anecdotes and avoid the frustration of oppositional generational attitudes? By asking questions that make the familiar strange, anthropologists are able to see entirely different perspectives and understand new cultures. Drawing on her lifelong work in this field, Keating has developed a set of questions that treat your parents and grandparents not just as the people who raised you, but as individuals of a certain society and time, and as the children, teenagers, and young adults they once were. The Essential Questions helps you to learn about the history of your elders, to see the world through their eyes, and to honor the language they choose to describe their experiences.

Bertrand Russell - Logic...

Hector Davidson

Bertrand Russell, born on May 18, 1872, in Trellech, Monmouthshire, Wales, was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, and social critic. Coming from a prominent aristocratic family, with his grandfather, Lord John Russell, having served as a British Prime Minister, Russell had an influential upbringing. He attended Cambridge University, where he studied under Alfred North Whitehead, a notable logician and philosopher. Russell was deeply influenced by the works of Gottlob Frege and David Hilbert. 
One of his most significant contributions to philosophy and mathematics was the co-authorship of "Principia Mathematica" with Alfred North Whitehead. This monumental work aimed to derive all mathematical truths from a set of axioms using symbolic logic, laying the groundwork for much of modern mathematical logic and philosophy. Russell also developed the theory of logical atomism, proposing that the world consists of atomic facts that can be represented by logical propositions. His emphasis on logical rigor and clarity had a profound impact on the development of analytic philosophy.

Finding Voice For Authentic...

Terry Tempest Williams

Terry takes us on a whirlwind tour of what it means to give voice to our own authenticity. It requires deep listening and fertile silences. She encourages us to speak “Mother Tongue” — speaking from the belly rather than the mind. 
She laments that in Western culture “the language of economics has power, the language of the law has power, the language of science has power. But an intelligence of the heart, an emotional intelligence, or a poetic sensibility, or even a sensibility that comes from the side, from a different angle, from a different point of view, asks us to form a different kind of shape of conversation.” 
In this delightfully warm and thoughtful program you’ll be dazzled by the mystery of Terry’s dying mother’s request for her to read her journals, but not until after her death. Terry found 3 shelves of journals only to discover all of them were blank. Puzzle along with Terry as she takes us from the Red Rock Wildlands of Utah to the Plains of Kenya in a far-reaching dialogue about finding one’s authentic voice. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
