Sinopsis

Senegal River Hub explores how the Senegal River served as a pivotal center for early West African societies, fostering complex civilizations long before colonial influence. The book argues that the river’s predictable flooding enabled intensive agriculture and supported extensive trade networks, leading to the development of stratified societies. Intriguingly, the river wasn't just a source of sustenance; it was a catalyst for social and political organization, challenging conventional narratives that often overlook the agency of pre-colonial African communities. The book examines the evolution of adaptive agricultural practices, the establishment of interregional trade routes, and the emergence of sophisticated social structures.

 
Structured chronologically, the book first introduces the environmental context, then explores trade development, and finally analyzes the social and political structures that emerged. By synthesizing archaeological findings, historical accounts, and anthropological studies, Senegal River Hub provides a comprehensive understanding of this vital region's contributions to world history, offering insights into the dynamics of pre-colonial African societies.

    The history of Egyptology is often told as yet one more grand narrative of powerful men striving to seize the day and the precious artifacts for their competing homelands. But that is only half of the story. During the Golden Age of Exploration, there were women working and exploring before Howard Carter discovered the tomb of King Tut. Before men even conceived of claiming the story for themselves, women were working in Egypt to lay the groundwork for all future exploration. 
     
     
     
    In Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age, Kathleen Sheppard brings the untold stories of these women back into this narrative. Sheppard begins with the earliest European women who ventured to Egypt as travelers: Amelia Edwards, Jenny Lane, and Marianne Brocklehurst. Their travelogues, diaries, and maps chronicled a new world for the curious. In the vast desert, Maggie Benson, the first woman granted permission to excavate in Egypt, met Nettie Gourlay, the woman who became her lifelong companion. They battled issues of oppression and exclusion and, ultimately, are credited with excavating the Temple of Mut. 
     
     
     
    Women in the Valley of the Kings upends the grand male narrative of Egyptian exploration and shows how a group of courageous women charted unknown territory and changed the field of Egyptology forever.

    You chose to be an educator because you felt a sense of purpose, a wish to serve—it's not just a profession. 
     
    Teaching is a role that demands emotional presence, relational skill, and boundless energy. If you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and more disconnected from your purpose, then chances are your students are feeling that way too. In The Self-Led Educator, Joanna Curry-Sartori is leading the movement to help teachers and school leaders use the transformative tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reclaim their love of teaching, work compassionately with their own "parts" to better serve students, and build a resilient and connected community. 
     
    Becoming self-led means that your thoughts, emotions, and actions will be guided by the core self, rather than your reactive impulses, self-protective tendencies, or desire to people-please. Curry-Sartori will help you identify the root causes of collective stress, student disengagement, and interpersonal conflict at school, while also providing proven tools to prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being. Let this powerful book be your guide to becoming a more calm, clear, compassionate, creative, curious, and connected educator. You can lead your school community toward excellence . . . starting with yourself.

Smith is a monumental two-in-one volume that brings to life six of the most formidable and influential warrior kings in ancient history. This comprehensive work meticulously chronicles the lives, battles, and staggering accomplishments of these legendary figures, whose actions reshaped the world. 
    In Volume I, readers are transported to the eras of Alexander the Great, whose vision of a united world extended far beyond his lifetime; Charlemagne, the bridge between ancient and modern Europe and a fierce proponent of Christianity; and Genghis Khan, possibly the greatest conqueror ever known, whose empire spanned continents. The narrative delves into their personal lives, military strategies, and the enduring legacies that have made them icons in world history. From Alexander's legendary pursuits inspired by Achilles and Hercules to Charlemagne's alliance with the Church, and Genghis Khan's unparalleled empire-building, this volume offers a detailed look at their paths to glory. 
    Volume II continues this epic saga with Hannibal, the master tactician whose relentless war against Rome became legendary; Julius Caesar, whose political cunning and military prowess reshaped the Roman Empire; and Attila the Hun, the feared ruler who challenged Rome's supremacy. These chapters explore Hannibal's extraordinary military campaigns, Caesar's ascent to power, and Attila's formidable presence in Europe, providing insight into their strategic minds and indomitable spirits. 
    "Fierce Ruthless Warriors Who Shaped Ancient History Vol. I & Vol II" is not just a historical account; it is a riveting narrative that captures the essence of these leaders who were as ruthless as they were visionary.

    Womanish Theology - Discovering...

    Khristi Lauren Adams's faith was first shaped by her experiences as a Black girl—learning about Scripture from her grandmother, Mama Hattie; "playing church" with her seven cousins over summer vacation; and grieving the murder of her sixteen-year-old friend when she was just fifteen. 
     
     
     
    In Womanish Theology, Adams reflects on those experiences, inviting listeners to learn from a new perspective and guiding them to a deeper understanding of their own spirituality. 
     
     
     
    This groundbreaking book introduces a new branch of theological thought Adams calls womanish, as a play on the womanist tradition (the theology of Black womanhood). "Womanish," remembers Adams, is a term Black mothers used for young girls as they grew more interested in doing grown-up things. Adams draws on her own life story as well as the life stories of other Black girls to explore theological concepts such as Scripture, theodicy, salvation, prayer, neighborly love, and the image of God. 
     
     
     
    Through this journey, listeners will learn that theology is for everyone and that the whole community of God can learn from the spiritual insights of Black girls.
