1981. Peter takes a sabbatical year to travel through Africa with his wife Claire, hoping to find out why some countries fail to develop. The book recounts the almost impossible, even hilarious situations, in which they find themselves at times, and some funny stories and odd encounters. It is a story of a languid journey through contrasting landscapes of unimaginable beauty told with the wisdom of a couple who have learned how to stop and look.

A brilliant picture of a rich, exotic, complex and fascinating continent in the style of Bruce Chatwin. Verbal snapshots, images, anecdotes, legends, tales, gossip, illustrations, photographs, art and maps lend insight and depth to this multi-layered portrait of a continent. Into Africa uses the ancient empires and trading patterns of prehistory as the primary framework, to explain how Africa was and is today. The book does not ignore the calamities, the collapse of civil authority, the wars, the famines, the human misery, the environmental degradation. But it does record the triumphs, small and large. More important, Into Africa goes beyond politics and tourism, into history and legend, art and culture, both popular and profound.

Over the past 20 years the global political economy has experienced its most profound shifts since the onset of the industrial revolution. In South Africa and the World, Mills Soko reflects on some of the salient issues that have pervaded public discourse during this time, analysing them within the context of the contemporary South African political economy and of the country's position in the world. Arranged thematically, the essays were all written during a defining period in recent history, a period that has witnessed, among others, the accession of China to the WTO, the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US, the invention of the iPad, the birth of Facebook, the 2008/9 global financial crisis, Brexit and the global coronavirus pandemic which began at the end of 2019. The turbulent multipolar world demands visionary political and economic leadership, supported by institutions well attuned to contemporary conditions. Such leadership is in short supply. Nor is the existing institutional architecture sufficiently equipped to deal with a complex array of economic, social, environmental, technological and demographic challenges. Mills Soko highlights what has not worked in terms of politics, leadership, foreign policy, the economy, the African development trajectory, corporate ethics, international trade, global governance, and the thread which underlies all these issues – the importance of strong, decisive and accountable leadership. He counters his criticism with what has worked and offers views on how some of the problems that have constrained progress in South Africa and the world can be solved. A central message emerges from his writings: leadership and governance matter, whether in the national or international context. It is a message that permeates all the chapters in the book. And it goes to the heart of what South Africa has gone through over the past two decades and where it is today.

The hero of the Akan people of West Africa and our hero, Anancy, takes us on a journey through time and history. He reveals the heroic achievements of his people, and guides us through the traumas that were inflicted on his motherland by the European Invaders, from the 15th century onwards. Anancy takes us back to December 1492, when the three galleons commanded by Christopher Columbus ran aground on the rocky shoreline of Ayiti (Haiti). The event was to have dire consequences for the inhabitants of the island - the Taino people - and later the African continent...

I first got interested in kings and queens about ten years ago when I found myself reading a historical novel about Henry VIII. It was enthralling, but it left me wanting to know more about his ancestors. I then went on to read more. It was at this point I decided to produce a concise summary of my findings into a booklet. This booklet will be a genealogical record of all the kings and queens of England and Scotland, starting with the first king ever recorded, King Egbert of Wessex, 780 AD, and to follow them through Queen Elizabeth II, 1952. It has all the dates, when they were born, when they married, when they died, and whom followed whom. I've could it a journey through time. to perches it go to authorgeoffkeen.com

Excerpt from My Second Journey Through Equatorial Africa: From the Congo to the Zambesi in the Years 1886 and 1887 In accordance with my habit since the year 1880, I am now visiting Germany only that I may recover from the fatigues of my work in Africa, and in order to gather new strength for further exploration of the Dark Continent. In spite of my having on account of illness as well as of business very little spare time during my four months' stay at home, I resolved to write down as a simple reproduction of my diaries the most noteworthy facts of my second journey through Africa. We can never know whether we may return from those uncivilised regions; and for this Reason, and since my last work - the suppression of the East African rebellion - suggests my publishing further accounts at a later period, I have written the following pages, which I beg the reader to accept as a simple narrative of my experiences and observations.

In ancient africa, myths helped people try to make sense of the world around them. There are different types of african myths; some try to explain the origin of things; others speak of heroes who had supernatural abilities, and other stories are told to caution the people and show them how to behave well. The people told and retold these stories through different generations until they came to be held as the truth. This book focuses on some of the most popular african myths and reveals how they have shaped the culture and values of the respective communities. You will meet in this book: A princess who gets eaten by a monster and then goes on to marry a mysterious prince who is not all he seems to be A young woman who is sacrificed to end a drought but rescued by the young man who loves her dearly The children who put the sun into the sky The fanged deer whose eyes turned into the stars The clever lad who saves his uncle from death and outsmarts every enemy he comes across A great number of african folktales have been transmitted orally from person to person down through the ages, but since the nineteenth century, many stories have been written down and transmitted to audiences beyond the boundaries of the cultures that created them. One important-and tragic-conduit for the transmission of these stories beyond african shores was the european slave trade. Captured africans who were brought to the americas and the caribbean fought to keep alive what they could of their home cultures, and this included their folktale traditions.
