  Before the rise of the mighty Kanem-Bornu dynasty, the vast expanse of the Sahel was home to diverse tribes and scattered settlements that laid the groundwork for what would become one of the Sahara’s longest-lasting empires. In this early era, communities thrived in a challenging environment where survival hinged on adaptability and a profound connection with the land. The region, bridging the fertile savannahs and the arid expanse of the desert, nurtured a mosaic of cultures that developed sophisticated social structures long before centralized power emerged. 
  The early inhabitants relied on oral traditions to pass down stories of heroic ancestors, migrations, and the intimate bond they shared with nature. These narratives, rich in symbolism and local lore, served as the cultural bedrock for later generations. They recounted times of plentiful harvests and the strategic use of scarce water resources, highlighting the ingenuity and resilience of communities that innovated in agriculture and irrigation. Such stories not only preserved the memory of a once-abundant land but also inspired the collaborative spirit that would be essential for forming larger political entities.  
  Over time, as environmental challenges and the need for security intensified, these small communities began to coalesce into broader tribal alliances. The bonds formed through intermarriage, trade, and mutual defense gradually paved the way for the emergence of rudimentary governance structures. Early leaders, often revered for their wisdom and ability to resolve conflicts, began to assert influence over wider territories, laying the foundational framework for centralized authority. These leaders capitalized on the established trade networks that crisscrossed the region, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies that further solidified communal bonds.

  Uncover the suppressed testimony of the Lone Star State's uncomfortable past.Tinseltown almost always gets Texas wrong. The "Searchers" never did that much searching, the "Giants" were hardly ever big in terms of character and The Last Picture Show was just the beginning of a disturbing reveal. As acclaimed writer Stephen Harrigan suggests, the Lone Star State was not exactly a Big, Wonderful Thing, and for too many Texans, nothing was ever "Awright, Awright, Awright." A Black civil rights champion was assassinated in 1976, and the incident was buried. A "Cowtown Catcher in the Rye" was published in 1940, and the country club set made it disappear. And the war machines of Hitler and Mussolini were perfected with Texas oil during the Spanish Civil War. Author E.R. Bills challenges his proud neighbors, earnestly asking them to take a hard look at their past and examine their own historical amnesia, cultural fragility and fierce denial.

  Mill's On Liberty

  John Stuart Mill

  Mill's thinking about freedom in civic and social life examines fundamental principles shared among conservative, liberal, and radical politicians. The life of true philosophy stands outside the political battles that are rampant in society and seeks the political wisdom that is necessary for a good life in any age. Mill's philosophical presentation and analysis of those principles stand alongside the reflections of Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
   
  When the officials of any government seek to change the laws that regulate individual liberty or when rhetoricians seek to change public opinion about what individuals should or should not be allowed to say or do, Mill's On Liberty serves as an effective antidote to the poisons of excessive intrusion into the lives of individuals. The present edition is specifically designed to employ the dual nature of rhetoric — oral and written language — and to utilize electronic technology to open Mill's text to contemporary listeners as well as readers.
