  Kingdom of Mapungubwe - The...

  The discovery of Mapungubwe in the early 20th century marked a turning point in the understanding of Southern Africa’s ancient civilizations. Hidden for centuries, this once-thriving kingdom remained unknown to the modern world until 1933, when a group of researchers stumbled upon its ruins on Mapungubwe Hill in present-day South Africa. What they uncovered would challenge colonial-era narratives and reshape the history of African state formation. 
  Archaeological excavations at the site revealed an advanced society that flourished between the 11th and 13th centuries. The remains of elaborate stone structures, pottery, and intricate gold artifacts painted a picture of a powerful kingdom with a sophisticated political and economic system. Among the most significant discoveries was the famous Golden Rhino, a small yet exquisitely crafted artifact that symbolized the wealth and status of Mapungubwe’s elite. Made from delicate sheets of gold carefully shaped around a wooden core, the rhino became an enduring emblem of the kingdom’s prosperity. 
  The site also yielded evidence of a complex social hierarchy. The ruling class resided atop Mapungubwe Hill, separated from the common people who lived in the surrounding lowlands. This physical division suggested a structured society where power was centralized, a departure from earlier African settlements where leadership was more communal. The arrangement of dwellings, burial sites, and ceremonial areas further confirmed that Mapungubwe had developed into a true kingdom with a distinct ruling elite.

  Dramatic Rise and Fall of the...

  Trade was able to increase in Europe around the world due to more effective ships being introduced, and some of the improvements that were made to the ships were first introduced by the Chinese. The introduction of multiple mast ships and the sternpost rudders allowed the ships to travel quicker and be more maneuverable. By the start of the 15th century, ships were now much larger and able to support long distance travel with a minimum number of crew aboard.  
  	With that, the Portuguese started exploring the west coast of Africa and the Atlantic under orders from Prince Henry the Navigator. At this point, Europeans had not yet been capable of navigating completely around Africa since the ships being built were not yet fully capable of being able to sail very far from the coast and navigation in open waters was difficult, but the Portuguese continued pushing down the western African coast looking for ways to bypass the Ottomans and Muslims of Africa who had been making overland trade routes difficult. In 1451, Prince Henry the Navigator helped fund and develop a new type of ship, the caravel, that featured triangular lateen sails and would be able to travel in the open ocean and sail against the wind. In 1488, Bartholomew Diaz rounded the southern tip of Africa, named the Cape of Good Hope by King John of Portugal, and entered the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic.  
  	The Portuguese found access to the trade regions that they had been searching for, but sailing from Portugal to India and beyond would require too many resources to travel with at once. To remedy this problem, Portugal began establishing a number of forts and trading posts along the route. The Portuguese were able to establish a fort on the west coast of India, Fort Manuel, in 1500, and in 1505 a fort was erected off the coast of Tanzania, thus beginning a trend of European colonization in Africa and Asia that would last for the next 400 years.

  Emotions – we feel them every second of every day, yet we have such a limited vocabulary to express them. How do we go beyond happy and sad? 
  In Atlas of the Heart (2021), Brené Brown aims to equip us with all the language tools we need to map out the wide spectrum of feelings we experience. She doesn’t tell us how we’re supposed to feel, or how to deal with emotions when they come up – it’s simply an emotional encyclopedia. Brown puts emotions into related groups, then goes into the details to help us better comprehend them and communicate them to those around us. The goal is to build deeper, more authentic connections on a foundation of mutual understanding.

  In Deliberative Policymaking, Elizabeth Grant advances a fresh framework for making collective decisions about US schools. Grant argues that education policy can be made better by improving education policymaking methods. Informed by accounts of policymaking actions as well as her own experience, she offers a keen assessment of which components of existing education policy and policymaking have been effective and which have not. 
   
   
   
  Grant presents new approaches to the craft of policymaking. She endorses policy design thinking, including user-centered design; greater attention to education statecraft, such as reinforcing federal-state relations; and partnering with intermediaries who can help policymakers determine where the public interest lies. She underscores how these practices support democratized policymaking and implementation, which can lead to more inclusive, equitable policy. 
   
   
   
  Grant notes that the success of policy work depends on civic capacity to initiate and sustain improvement efforts, and on policy's ability to meet the demands of the time. This book is essential for anyone who makes policy or is interested in education reform.
