Sinossi

Sankore University Logic explores the pivotal role of Sankore University in medieval Timbuktu as a vibrant center for intellectual discourse and preservation of knowledge. The book investigates the university's sophisticated curriculum, with a focus on logic, and its lasting influence on West Africa and the broader Islamic world.

 
Sankore's curriculum wasn't just theoretical; logic was applied practically in legal judgments and trade dispute resolutions. This book challenges conventional views by highlighting the significant contributions of African scholars to intellectual history, specifically in the field of logic.

 
The book delves into the administrative and social dynamics that fostered Sankore's unique academic environment. It examines the university's contribution to intellectual debates and the spread of knowledge beyond Timbuktu, emphasizing its role as a melting pot of cultures and ideas.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical context, then exploring the curriculum with a focus on logic, and finally examining Sankore's lasting impact on global scholarship. By understanding Sankore, we gain insight into the flourishing trade networks that connected West Africa to other parts of the world during the Islamic Golden Age.

Pirates of Empire - Illicit...

Davis Truman

In the turbulent centuries of empire, the Caribbean was not merely a battlefield of nations, it was the beating heart of a global underground. Pirates of Empire reveals how smugglers, privateers, and rogue traders built an illicit economy that reshaped the Atlantic world, fueling fortunes, revolutions, and the birth of modern capitalism itself. 
From Havana to Port Royal, from Bristol’s counting houses to the hidden coves of Hispaniola, Davis Truman uncovers the shadow networks that thrived beneath imperial rule. These were the real architects of the empire’s wealth, men and women who blurred the line between outlaw and entrepreneur, freedom and servitude, conquest and survival. Their ships carried more than plunder: they carried people, ideas, and commodities that transformed continents. 
With gripping storytelling and cutting-edge scholarship, Pirates of Empire reframes piracy not as rebellion against empire, but as its indispensable partner. It exposes how colonial powers quietly relied on black markets to sustain their ambitions, and how these hidden economies gave rise to the modern Caribbean, multicultural, volatile, and endlessly creative. 
Blending adventure and analysis, Pirates of Empire invites readers to sail into the murky waters where legality and legitimacy collided, and where the foundations of the modern world were forged in contraband and courage.

Now Then - A Biography of Yorkshire

Rick Broadbent

From the perspective of an exiled Yorkshireman this bestselling, award winning author returns to his native county to discover and reveal its soul. 
 
Now Then is a biographical mosaic of Yorkshire. Rick Broadbent, an award-wining author and exiled Yorkshireman, goes in search of the soul of England's biggest county and produces an all-encompassing portrait of a place that has been victimised and stereotyped since the days of Williams the Conqueror. Incorporating social history, memoir, reportage and author interviews, Now Then paints a picture of what it means to be from Yorkshire - both now and back then. 
 
Now Then is not a hagiography and Broadbent visits devastated mining communities, an inner-city homeless shelter and the county's most isolated sheep farm, as well as examining the truth about well-known Yorkshire figures and institutions. From the Bronte sisters and Marks & Spencer to the Yorkshire pudding, accent and Ripper, this is a funny, wise and searching account of the county that gave the world its first football club and its last witch-burning. Ultimately, this is an affectionate but unsparing look at a county, its people and their flinty vowels. It is about the real Yorkshire and its daily life, as well as Dracula and Geoffrey Boycott.
