  The Ashanti Empire, flourishing from the 17th to the 19th century in what is now Ghana, stands as a testament to the resilience and sophistication of African states. This powerful kingdom was established through a unique blend of indigenous cultural traditions and political innovations, creating a centralized authority that not only governed a vast territory but also unified diverse ethnic groups under a single national identity. At the heart of this unity was the revered Golden Stool, a symbol of divine providence and the collective spirit of the Ashanti people. 
  Emerging from a landscape rich in natural resources and strategic trade routes, the Ashanti Empire developed robust economic foundations. Gold, kola nuts, and other valuable commodities flowed through well-established networks, facilitating both internal prosperity and external exchanges with neighboring regions and distant trading partners. This economic strength enabled the empire to invest in military expansion and administrative structures that further consolidated its power. 
  The political organization of the Ashanti Empire was characterized by a sophisticated hierarchy led by the Asantehene, whose authority was both political and spiritual. This dual role was crucial in maintaining social order and ensuring loyalty among the various clans and communities within the empire. The administration was further supported by councils of elders and local chiefs, who played significant roles in the governance process by mediating disputes and enforcing the laws that held the society together.

  These Divided Isles - Britain...

  Ireland is Britain's closest neighbor—the sea crossing from Scotland measures only twelve miles. Ireland was also its first conquered territory in what became Britain's empire. The two nation's stories have been intertwined since Anglo-Norman invaders crossed the Irish Sea during the twelfth century. 
   
   
   
  These Troubled Isles tells the extraordinary history of the past century in this tumultuous relationship, from the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1922 to the present day. This is a tale of deep division between Catholic nationalism and Protestant unionism, of wars and terrorist violence, and of occasional moments of great courage on the part of British and Irish leaders. 
   
   
   
  Today, the post-Brexit weakening of the United Kingdom's constitutional ties has coincided with the march of demography in Northern Ireland as the Protestant unionist majority continues to shrink. Sinn Féin's historic string of electoral victories in Northern Ireland since 2022 has once more resurfaced the unfinished business of partition. Here, Philip Stephens explores how Ireland might escape its troubled past by deploying history to inform the future rather than hold it in place.

  "Categories" is a philosophical work written by Aristotle, which is widely considered to be one of the most influential works in the history of Western philosophy. The work explores the nature of reality and how it can be classified into different categories. Aristotle begins by examining the concept of substance, which he defines as the fundamental nature of a thing. He then goes on to consider other categories such as quality, quantity, relation, place, time, position, state, and action. These categories help to organize our understanding of the world and provide a framework for understanding the various phenomena that we encounter. Read in English, unabridged.
