Sinopse

Palm Wine Tapping unveils the rich cultural heritage embedded within a seemingly simple alcoholic beverage. This social science and history exploration delves into palm wine, derived from various palm tree species, and its profound role in social interactions, family gatherings, and community traditions. The book highlights how understanding palm wine production and consumption provides insights into social structures, economic activities, and historical processes.

 
Did you know palm wine isn't just a drink; it's a symbol of hospitality and a connection to ancestral traditions? The book explores the historical roots of palm wine, examining its significance in pre-colonial economies and its evolution influenced by trade and technology. It also analyzes the social dynamics surrounding its consumption, including its use in rituals, ceremonies, and everyday life.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the basics of palm wine, then looking at its historical role, social dynamics, and future challenges. This interdisciplinary approach, drawing on anthropology, economics, and environmental studies, makes the book a valuable resource for those interested in cultural heritage and sustainable development.

A mysterious land and culture that is the origin of our very society, cultures and religions. A place and time so old that we can only piece together it’s history through myths and legends. And yet, it is a time and place so important to the history of mankind that we should be focussing all our efforts to uncover the truth. And that truth is in fact so amazing, so bizarre, that it staggers belief. 
 
Ancient aliens came thousands of years ago. They genetically engineered a slave species we now call the human race. They were gods in the land with incredible technology and wisdom. And they have left their mark for us to find. They are the ancient Mesopotamian deities we call the Anunnaki.

Shortlisted for Best Non-Fiction or Fiction by a Parliamentarian at the Westminster Book Awards 2025From the revolutionary use of drones to staged coups, child abduction and psychological warfare, the war in Ukraine is like no other. It is a new form of total war, combining traditional military force with all the non-military tools of the Russian state. The 2022 invasion was just the next stage of a conflict that Russia has been fighting since 2005, using all the tactics at its disposal to control Ukraine's politics and wreak havoc.Combining over a decade of research, astute analysis and powerful stories from the front line, and including striking photographs of the people and scenes he encountered along the way, Bob Seely has written the authoritative guide to this new form of conflict. Travelling extensively throughout Ukraine, Seely meets figures such as Panoushka, the sniper who continues to fight despite the loss of her fiancé, and Ksenia, the seventeen-year-old who journeyed through Russia searching for her abducted younger brother. Above all, Seely argues that understanding Moscow's new total war is critical because Russia considers itself at war with the West as well as Ukraine, directing some of the tactics used there against us.Insightful, gripping and at times moving, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the unconventional methods Russia and other authoritarian states will use to challenge the West for global supremacy and undermine our beliefs, power and influence.

Why did Operation Al-Aqsa Flood take place, and what were Hamas’s objectives? What really happened on the ground on October 7th? What lessons can we learn from the operations carried out by both sides? 
To answer these three questions and many others, Jacques Baud revisits the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from its very beginnings. Why has it still not found a solution? What strategies have Israelis and Palestinians adopted over the past 75 years? What is the impact of this conflict on our security? What are the options for Israel and Palestine in the coming years? 
In this book of rare clairvoyance, Jacques Baud deplores the fact that Western decisions are colliding with international law. The question is not who we are for, but how the international order created after 1945 should be applied. Israel’s failure to respect this law is provoking its downfall. As with any conflict, the solution will not come from emotion, but from objective, dispassionate analysis and honest mediation.
