Season of Rains
Africa is playing a more important role in world affairs than ever before. Yet the most common images of Africa in the American mind are ones of poverty, starvation, and violent conflict. But while these problems are real, that does not mean that Africa is a lost cause. Instead, as Stephen Ellis explains in Season of Rains, we need to rethink Africa’s place in time if we are to understand it in all its complexity—it is a region where growth and prosperity coexist with failed states. This engaging, accessible book by one of the world’s foremost researchers on Africa captures the broad spectrum of political, economic, and social foundations that make Africa what it is today. Ellis is car...
The Roman Retail Revolution
Tabernae were ubiquitous in all Roman cities, lining the busiest streets and dominating their most crowded intersections. This volume focuses on food and drink outlets in particular, combining analysis of both archaeological material and textual sources to offer a thorough investigation into the social and economic worlds of the Roman shop.
This Present Darkness
Nigeria and Nigerians have acquired a notorious reputation for involvement in drug-trafficking, fraud, cyber-crime and other types of serious crime. Successful Nigerian criminal networks have a global reach, interacting with their Italian, Latin American and Russian counterparts. Yet in 1944, a British colonial official wrote that 'the number of persistent and professional criminals is not great' in Nigeria and that 'crime as a career has so far made little appeal to the young Nigerian'. This book traces the origins of Nigerian organised crime to the last years of colonial rule, when nationalist politicians acquired power at a regional level. In need of funds for campaigning, they offered government contracts to foreign businesses in return for kickbacks, in a pattern that recurs to this day. Political corruption encouraged a wider disrespect for the law that spread throughout Nigerian society. When the country's oil boom came to an end in the early 1980s, young Nigerian college graduates headed abroad, eager to make money by any means. Nigerian crime went global at the very moment new criminal markets were emerging all over the world.
Albert's Song
Life is much like a song. It has a beginning, and an ending. Every song has a melody, some harmony, and yes, even a few sour notes. Albert and the author, Stephen Ellis' song had all of those. This book is really a story of how Albert's life collided with the Stephen's. Somehow their lives merged together to make harmony out of their sour notes. It was a surprise to them both.
External Mission
Nelson Mandela's release from prison in February 1990 was one of the most memorable moments of recent decades. It came a few days after the removal of the ban on the African National Congress; founded a century ago and outlawed in 1960, it had transferred its headquarters abroad and opened what it termed an External Mission. For the thirty years following its banning, the ANC had fought relentlessly against the apartheid state. Finally voted into office in 1994, the ANC today regards its armed struggle as the central plank of its legitimacy. External Mission is the first study of the ANC's period in exile, based on a full range of sources in southern Africa and Europe. These include the ANC'...
Madagascar
The island of Madagascar, off the southeastern coast of Africa, is home to some of the worlds most celebrated plant and animal species, including the baobab and lemur. But few know the history of this environmentally strategic place.
50 Questions for God
Have you ever wondered what you would ask if God agreed to answer any question you might have? That's the basic idea behind this book. The author asked various people what one question they would ask. Then he narrowed it down to 50 questions and after praying about each one and studying scriptures, he tried to answer the questions. With room to write your own answers (and questions), this makes for a good bible study or daily devotional.
Is There Really a God?
Have you ever wondered if God is real? Every believer has faced this question at some time and answering it is not easy. Believers are often confronted by nonbelievers with ideas and opinions that may seem logical at first glance. This book is an attempt by the author to give evidence for the existence of God. There is no proof of God, but there is a great deal of evidence that points toward God's existence. This book is for those who have doubted at one time or another or have been confronted by someone else who doubts.
