Synopsis

Niger River explores the profound and enduring relationship between West African civilizations and the river that has shaped their destinies. From its role in sustaining agriculture and enabling trade to its influence on the rise and fall of empires like Mali and Songhai, the Niger River's historical geography reveals a complex interplay between natural resources and human development.

 
The book delves into the river's hydrological system, highlighting its unique annual flood cycle, akin to a life-giving pulse, and its impact on the surrounding ecosystems, demonstrating how these environmental factors have molded economic and political structures.

 
The book systematically builds its argument across chapters, starting with the geological formation of the Niger River basin and progressing through agricultural practices, trade dynamics, and the rise and fall of empires. By integrating historical accounts, archaeological findings, and ecological studies, the book offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the river's significance.

 
Readers will gain insight into how the Niger River has not only facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas but also shaped cultural practices and belief systems, culminating in an exploration of contemporary challenges such as climate change and pollution and suggesting pathways for sustainable management.

The Shocking Truth about Urban...

Zoey Fraisers

Urban living has long been viewed as the pinnacle of opportunity and progress. Cities are often painted as vibrant hubs of culture, innovation, and success—a place where dreams come true and ambition finds its footing. The allure of bright lights, bustling streets, and endless possibilities pulls millions into these sprawling metropolises every year. For many, the promise of better jobs, richer experiences, and greater connections is enough to leave behind quieter, simpler lives elsewhere.   
  
Yet, beneath the glittering facade lies a reality few are prepared for. Urban living often comes with hidden costs, both financial and emotional, that can turn this dream into a relentless grind. The very elements that make cities attractive—crowds, energy, and activity—can also become sources of stress, isolation, and disconnection. The fast pace of city life may thrill at first, but it often demands sacrifices that go unnoticed until they take their toll.  
  
Financial strain is one of the first realities to hit those who flock to urban centers. The cost of housing, food, transportation, and entertainment skyrockets in the city, leaving little room for savings or long-term planning. Even those earning higher-than-average wages may find themselves living paycheck to paycheck, barely keeping up with the rising costs of urban living. This creates a paradox: while cities offer opportunities for upward mobility, they often make it harder to get ahead.

Chaste Mimosa - The Psychology...

Terence McMullen

Propositions about artificial intelligence are being debated seriously in the 21st Century, but machines, unlike plants, are not even living organisms.
So, are plants sentient beings, like humans? Do they feel? Can they communicate?
Plant sentience is a subject that has intrigued mankind over the ages - from the ancient Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, through to modern day philosophers and psychologists.
In this extraordinary book, Australia's Dr Terence McMullen presents an engaging, systematic and thorough study of plant psychology.
The aim of this work is to bring together and organize the contentions of serious students of plant life who argue that there are objective grounds for plant psychology.
Chaste Mimosa: The Psychology of Plants is a compelling and essential book for all thinkers, students and teachers of psychology, philosophy, physiology, plus all disciplines related to the study of plants.

Understanding Artificial...

Craig Dames

Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, is one of the most transformative technologies of our time. It refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, learning, decision-making, understanding natural language, and even visual perception. While AI may seem like a recent innovation, its foundations were laid decades ago, and it has evolved through years of research, experimentation, and technological advancement.
The concept of AI dates back to the 1950s, when computer scientists such as Alan Turing and John McCarthy began exploring whether machines could simulate human intelligence. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was first coined in 1956 during the Dartmouth Conference, which is now recognized as the birthplace of AI as a field of study. Early AI systems were rule-based and could only perform specific tasks under limited conditions. However, as computing power increased and data became more accessible, AI models grew more sophisticated and capable.
Today, AI is not just a theoretical concept or something confined to laboratories. It is embedded in our daily lives in subtle and sometimes invisible ways. From voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to recommendation algorithms on streaming platforms and online shopping sites, AI is shaping how we interact with technology. Navigation apps use AI to suggest optimal routes, email services use it to filter spam, and social media platforms rely on AI to personalize content.
