  The Songhai people trace their origins to the fertile banks of the Niger River, an area that has supported human settlement and civilization for thousands of years. Their early history is closely tied to the region of Gao, which would later become the heart of one of Africa’s most powerful empires. The Niger River provided the necessary resources for agriculture, fishing, and trade, enabling the growth of organized communities that would form the foundation of Songhai society. 
  The earliest known inhabitants of the region were the proto-Songhai, who are believed to have settled along the Niger River as early as the first millennium CE. These people were primarily farmers, herders, and fishermen, utilizing the rich floodplains of the river to cultivate crops and sustain livestock. Over time, they developed a distinct cultural identity, characterized by their language, traditions, and spiritual beliefs. Their society was structured around small communities led by local chieftains, who governed based on kinship ties and communal customs. 
  Gao, the most significant early settlement of the Songhai people, emerged as a crucial trading hub by the eighth century. Arab and Berber merchants, who traveled along the trans-Saharan trade routes, recognized its strategic importance as a commercial center. The exchange of goods such as gold, salt, ivory, and kola nuts attracted traders from North Africa and beyond, integrating Gao into the wider economic networks of the region. As commerce flourished, the settlement expanded, and its rulers gained influence by controlling trade and forming alliances with neighboring peoples.

  Although many forms of trauma treatment rely solely on talk therapy as a means of healing, we cannot "talk out" every issue related to trauma. Indeed, trauma is stored in the body and the brain and must be treated as such. 
   
   
   
  Designed with both mental health clinicians and clients in mind, Trauma-Informed Yoga offers forty-seven short, simple practices that regulate the autonomic nervous system, calm the racing mind, and center those of us living chaotic twenty-first century lives. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from over twenty years of teaching and clinical practice, Spence masterfully weaves together the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern neuroscience and clinical practice in an accessible and compassionate manner. 
   
   
   
  This how-to toolbox will arm you with knowledge and with powerful, yet simple, mind-body activities that reduce suffering and increase well-being.

  Confronting Capitalism - How the...

  Why is our society so unequal? Why, despite their small numbers, do the rich dominate policy and politics even in democratic countries? Why is it so difficult for working people to organize around common interests? How do we begin to build a more equal and democratic society? 
   
   
   
  Vivek Chibber provides a clear and accessible map of how capitalism works, how it limits the power of working and oppressed people, and how to overcome those limits. The capitalist economy generates incredible wealth but also injustice. Those who own the factories, hotels, and farms always have an advantage over the people who rely on that ownership class for their livelihoods. This inequality in power and income is reflected in the operation of the state, where capitalists are able to exert their will even under relatively democratic conditions. The most important reason is that states depend on the employment and profits from capitalist enterprise for both finances and legitimacy. Every meaningful victory for working people has been won through collective struggle but collective action is very difficult to coordinate. In the final section of the book, Chibber walks the listener through some of the historical attempts to build socialism and presents a vision of how we might, perhaps against the odds, build a socialist future.
