  Sam Jonah and the remaking of Ashanti recounts the inspirational life of one of Africa's most prominent black businessmen. From working underground as a shovel boy to his appointment as the CEO of the trailblazing African gold mining company, Ashanti Goldfields Corporation, Sam Jonah's determination to surmount every obstacle in a career strewn with hurdles makes for compelling reading. 
  Frenzied deals, boardroom cliffhangers, political scandal and private battles punctuate this unique account of the challenges of conducting 'First World' business in the 'Third World'. Through Jonah's corporate leadership we explore the paradox that a continent so richly endowed with gold and other minerals should find itself in such dire poverty. It is a hopeful story about breaking the confines of one's circumstances, not just for Africans but for individuals the world over.

  Unholy Traffic An - Slave...

  The Confederate States of America was born in defense of slavery. Between Fort Sumter to Appomattox, Confederates bought and sold thousands African American men, women, and children. These transactions in humanity made the internal slave trade a cornerstone of Confederate society, a bulwark of the Rebel economy, and a central part of the experience of the Civil War for all inhabiting the American South. 
   
   
   
  As An Unholy Traffic shows, slave trading helped Southerners survive and fight the Civil War, as well as to build the future for which they fought. They mitigated the crises the war spawned by buying and selling enslaved people, using this commerce to navigate food shortages, unsettled gender roles, the demands of military service, and other hardships on the homefront. Some Rebels speculated wildly in human property, investing in slaves to ward off inflation and to buy shares in the slaveholding nation they hoped to create. Others traded people to counter the advance of emancipation. 
   
   
   
  Offering an original perspective on the intersections of slavery, capitalism, the Civil War, and emancipation, Robert K. D. Colby illuminates the place of the peculiar institution within the Confederate mind, the ways in which it underpinned the CSA's war effort, and its impact on those attempting to seize their freedom.

  The Air War Through German Eyes...

  Jonathan Trigg

  Starting with leaflet drops in 1940, the aerial offensive against the Nazis’ homeland grew into a huge armada that pulverised much of Germany, seriously damaging her ability to make war and killing hundreds of thousands. By day, the Flying Fortresses of the Mighty Eighth US Airforce confronted the day fighters of Luftflotte Reich, and then it was the turn of Bomber Command’s Lancasters to fight off the deadly predators of the Nachtjagd (night hunters). The tactics and technology of Allied escort fighters evolved quickly though the war years, as they did for the defending German fighters. For the Allied airmen who fought this war the price was frighteningly high, for those who opposed them – in the air and on the ground – it was even higher. 
   
  As the bombing increased, Nazi high command was forced to devote more and more resources to try and defeat the Allied campaign, just when those same resources were desperately needed elsewhere, both on the Russian Front and, after D-Day on 6 June 1944, on the new Western Front. Written from the ‘other side’ and told as much as possible through the words of the veterans, this is an important book on one of the most controversial campaigns of the Second World War.

  The Art of Not Caring

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  "What if the stress and overwhelm in your life aren’t caused by what you face—but by caring too much about things that don’t deserve your energy? In this liberating audiobook, Vera Mindwell challenges the belief that constant concern, emotional investment, and striving make us better or happier. Instead, she reveals how modern culture trains us to overthink, overextend, and overidentify with expectations that drain our wellbeing every day. 
  Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, Mindwell explains why the brain clings to worries, approval, and imagined threats—and how this automatic caring becomes a mental habit we mistake for responsibility. She offers a compelling alternative: the skill of selective concern, the art of choosing what actually matters while releasing everything that never truly did. 
  Through practical strategies and evidence-based insights, you’ll learn how emotionally grounded people set boundaries without guilt, detach from unhelpful narratives, and stay centered even when life gets loud. Mindwell dismantles the myth that caring more makes you more compassionate, showing instead how intentional detachment leads to healthier relationships, clearer priorities, and genuine inner peace. 
  If you’re tired of carrying the weight of everyone’s expectations, this audiobook invites you to let go—and finally breathe again."
