Excerpt from West African Studies I pray you who may come across this book to distinguish carefully between the part of it written by others and that written by me. Anything concerning West Africa written by M. le Comte C. de Cardi or Mr. John Harford, of Bristol, does not require apology and explanation; while anything written by me on this, or any subject, does. M. le Comte de Cardi possesses an unrivalled knowledge of the natives of the Niger Delta, gained, as all West Coasters know, by personal experience, and gained in a way whereby he had to test the truth of his ideas about these natives, not against things said concerning them in books, but against the facts themselves, for years; and depending on the accuracy of his knowledge was not a theory, but his own life and property.

Excerpt from The Food Resources of Africa Africa, an important contributor to the world's agricultural sup ply, has now more than ever a vital share in the food economy of the world. The Japanese conquest of the Far East has deprived the United Nations of important food resources, and it is necessary to look for new fields to increase the production in those territories at the command of the United Nations. Africa's proximity to the major battle fronts makes it an area particularly strategic in location from which to supplement the depleted food supply, and the African natives contribute to this task in no small measure. Thus, the meager fat rations of Great Britain have come to depend largely on the amount of groundnuts, palm oil, and palm kernels which West Africa can furnish, and the Middle Eastern armies are supplied with food from East African territories. The fact that, despite Africa's importance, only scant information about its food production is available makes the situation potentially dangerous. Not only might valuable food sources be ignored, but conversely Africa's productivity might be overestimated and lead to disastrous local famines if drained too much, as, indeed, occurred in some East African territories early this year. For the United States, which contributes such a large share of food to both Allied and conquered nations, it is of special interest to learn and know about those food resources which now or in the near future may be available in other parts of the world. These considerations prompted the decision of the Committee on African Studies at the University of Pennsylvania to undertake a program of Food Research. The present studies by Dr. Githens and Mr. Wood intend to give a general survey of Africa's agricultural resources, while in later volumes of the African Handbooks more detailed studies, both regarding specific areas and individual cr0ps.

There has long been a need for a new textbook on West Africa’s history. In Themes in West Africa’s History, editor Emmanuel Kwaku Akyeampong and his contributors meet this need, examining key themes in West Africa’s prehistory to the present through the lenses of their different disciplines. The contents of the book comprise an introduction and thirteen chapters divided into three parts. Each chapter provides an overview of existing literature on major topics, as well as a short list of recommended reading, and breaks new ground through the incorporation of original research. The first part of the book examines paths to a West African past, including perspectives from archaeology, ecology and culture, linguistics, and oral traditions. Part two probes environment, society, and agency and historical change through essays on the slave trade, social inequality, religious interaction, poverty, disease, and urbanization. Part three sheds light on contemporary West Africa in exploring how economic and political developments have shaped religious expression and identity in significant ways. Themes in West Africa’s History represents a range of intellectual views and interpretations from leading scholars on West Africa’s history. It will appeal to college undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars in the way it draws on different disciplines and expertise to bring together key themes in West Africa’s history, from prehistory to the present.

Excerpt from Trading Life in Western in Central Africa Tnls Book is not a record of wonderful explorations. It is simply the experience of frequent travel and residence upon the West Coast of Africa, between the years 1853 and 1875. In the first place, the contents were written in the form of friendly letters without any literary pretence, and were thus published weekly in the porcupine. And then I thought I had done with them. But so many readers, in various parts of the world, (some of whom had only seen a letter occasionally, ) requested the whole to be re-printed, that I was induced to yield to their desire. And have, therefore, revised the letters, and now respectfully submit them to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
