From the heart of Africa, a spellbinding true story of entrepreneurship, media, culture, and tradition, all tastefully rolled into one! Absolute Radio is an authentic story of girls and boys who became women and men - and heroes - on the wings of a radio station. Running the course of 25 years, the story comes from the culturally stylish twin city of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana, with global footprints. It is the most tantalising and ground-breaking body of work about Ghana’s private broadcasting industry. The author, former journalist Phillip Nyakpo, is himself an eye-witness and a participant in these true events. From his base in Perth, Australia, Phillip interviewed women and men across four continents who made it happen over a quarter of a century. The result is that he opened up to the world, a character and spirit of Africa that is all too often missing. In telling the story, he writes a compelling narrative that is delicate, witty, eye-opening, and wonderfully inspiring.

Volume 2 of Black Fire—This Time will educate and inspire the next generation.
This is a key text for understanding the history of the great West African kingdom of Asante (now in Ghana). It is perhaps the earliest example of history writing in English by an African ruler. The result is an indispensably detailed account of the Asante monarchy from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. Context is provided by the inclusion of other writings by or about Agyeman Prempeh, together with four introductory essays by the world's leading scholars of Asante history.
