Can We Talk About This?- Parents Teen...
Every parent of a teenager knows the silence: the one-word answers, the closed door. Can We Talk About This? is for parents stuck in that gap. Drawing on years of clinical work with families, it shows that the teen who seems to be rejecting you is often the one who needs you most, just in a language you haven’t learned to read yet. Not scripts or quick fixes, but a grounded, practical guide to staying in the room when conversations get hard, listening so your teen actually talks, and rebuilding connection without forcing it.
Seventeen Trips Through Somaliland Ex...
As the title states, this is a book in which Captain HGC Swayne describes his travels through what came to be known as British Somaliland. Swayne was a British officer tasked with survey work in the protectorate that had just been established after the British government signed treaties with various Somali clans.
The book is primarily targeted at a home audience, particularly those who were drawn to accounts of travel through what was then called the 'uncivilized world,' and serves as a guide for those who dreamed of crossing the territory themselves. Beyond understanding the target audience, it is also important to note that the book was written at a time when racial hierarchy was accepted as respectable social science, with Europeans placed at the apex. As a result, you will encounter frequent racial connotations throughout.
Despite this, the book is essential reading for Africans, and especially Somalis. It provides important context for understanding the beginnings of colonization in the Horn of Africa, including the mindset of its agents. It also documents significant historical realities such as the extensive trade networks connecting the Horn of Africa to the wider world, the rich flora and fauna of the region, including species found nowhere else, and the culture, daily lives, and inter-communal relations of the people, particularly with their Abyssinian and Oromo neighbors.
Among the more striking passages are accounts of intimate but historically significant encounters, notably Swayne's meeting with Ras Makonnen, Governor of Harar and father of the future Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie. Swayne documents the meeting in detail, including the Ethiopians' ambitions to extend their borders to either the Red Sea or the Indian Ocean.
This is an important document for anyone from East Africa, and especially the Horn, who needs a historical backdrop to understand what is happening in the region today.

Traces of Vengences: A Play of Justic...
BOOK SUMMARY
In a society built on inequality, Gurina dares to challenge a system that thrives on silence. As he exposes corruption and injustice, he becomes a target, betrayed, condemned, and denied the chance to defend himself.
But even as he is silenced, his words ignite a movement. What begins as a fight for justice quickly spirals into chaos, forcing a reckoning between truth and vengeance and the true cost of freedom.
CHINDERA THE ABADONED SON by Caroline...
Book summary
Chindera grows up in a family that offers him shelter but denies him dignity. Raised by Mr. Kabinga, his secret biological father, he lives as both family and servant, enduring silent suffering out of gratitude. As he comes of age, love briefly offers him hope, first with Kira and later with Samina. But betrayal runs deep within the Kabinga family.
Consumed by jealousy, Kunte destroys Chindera’s chance at happiness, forcing Samina into a loveless marriage that ends in tragedy. When Samina is killed, Chindera becomes the perfect scapegoat in a chain of lies, manipulation, and buried secrets. Abandoned by the very people he trusted, he is condemned for a crime he did not commit, his loyalty repaid with ultimate betrayal.
African Issues-Somalia: Economy witho...
In the wake of the collapse of the Somali government in 1991, a "second" or "informal" economy based on trans-border trade and smuggling is thriving. While focusing primarily on pastoral and agricultural markets, Peter D. Little demonstrates that the Somalis are resilient and opportunistic and that they use their limited resources effectively. While it is true that many Somalis live in the shadow of brutal warlords and lack access to basic health care and education, Little focuses on those who have managed to carve out a productive means of making ends meet under difficult conditions and emphasizes the role of civic culture even when government no longer exists. Exploring questions such as, Does statelessness necessarily mean anarchy and disorder? Do money, international trade, and investment survive without a state? Do pastoralists care about development and social improvement? This book describes the complexity of the Somali situation in the light of international terrorism.
Understanding Somalia and Somaliland:...
Ioan Lewis details the history and culture of the Somali people, providing a unique window into this little-known culture and its increasingly public predicaments. He provides insight into the complex social, historical, and cultural hinterland that is the Somali heritage and pays close attention to the pervasive influence of traditional nomadism, especially its extremely decentralized nature. Lewis also addresses developments in the Somali political region since the collapse of the Republic in 1991, including the formation and steady development of the democratic state of Somaliland. Though it has grown into a de facto personality, this self-governing outpost of democracy is still officially unrecognized internationally. Lewis concludes with a discussion of the Islamist movement that brought a brief but astonishing period of stability to much of Southern Somalia in late 2006.
Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedo...
As a young man Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland. He was fortunate to have been taught to read by his slave owner mistress, and he would go on to become one of the major literary figures of his time. His very existence gave the lie to slave owners: with dignity and great intelligence he bore witness to the brutality of slavery.
Initially mentored by William Lloyd Garrison, Douglass spoke widely, using his own story to condemn slavery. By the Civil War, Douglass had become the most famed and widely travelled orator in the nation. In his unique and eloquent voice, written and spoken, Douglass was a fierce critic of the United States as well as a radical patriot. After the war he sometimes argued politically with younger African Americans, but he never forsook either the Republican party or the cause of black civil and political rights.
Intelligence Engineering: Operating B...
Intelligence continues to undergo significant changes at a remarkable pace, notably developments related to ‘Big Data’, surveillance and cyber. Intelligence today involves multiagency, multinational, multidisciplinary, multidomain information sharing and sense-making, conducted by commerce, academic, government, civil society, media, law enforcement, military, and nongovernmental/nonprofit organisations. Increasingly complex systems, including interrelated technical dimensions, are central to modern defence systems. Intelligence Engineering: Operating Beyond the Conventional provides a new framework for generating analysis, exploring how systems to system-of-systems can be harnessed both for and into the future. Intelligence engineering (IE) involves the use of scientific and technical knowledge to artfully create, operate, maintain, and dismantle complex devices, machines, structures, systems, and processes that support and/or disrupt human endeavour occurring in the intelligence context. Spanning both human and technical intelligence realms, IE includes the collection and analysis of information that is of military and/or political value, and that relates to international relations, defence, and national security. Strategic Futures, risk management across to resilience concerns are similarly engaged.
As the chapters show, intelligence continues to extend further into engineering realms, including Federation of Systems and System of Systems Engineering approaches, social engineering, and so forth. System of Systems Engineering is a methodology used by the US Department of Defense, law enforcement, military, and emergency management work. It is used for information collection, allowing the sharing of research data and tools (such as software), for example in joint operations where army, navy, and air force must work together, with their systems interoperating with each other, or with coalition forces. Command and control, communications, and medical care systems are also systems that must interoperate to support operations in hostile or unstable situations. The book presents several System of Systems analysis, along with important intelligence criteria relating to specificity, timeliness, accuracy, relevance, and clarity. Risk analysis and assessment are discussed as well. This core text will offer students and practitioners a toolkit ready for use by outlining the methodology of Intelligence Engineering.
Lumumba: Africa’s Lost Leader b...
Patrice Lumumba (1926-61) is perhaps the most famous leader of the African independence movement. He became an icon of anti-imperialist struggle after his execution in 1961, when he had been the prime minister of the newly liberated Congo for only seven months. As the news came out, his picture was brandished in demonstrations in capitals around the world, along with those of Che Guevara and Mao Zedong. His life and the independence that he sought for the Congo made him a pivotal figure of the twentieth century, exposing ongoing Western colonialism and the problematic nature of the independence granted to huge swathes of the globe after 1945.
In this book, revised and updated to include new thinking on the Congo crisis and incorporating material recently released from British intelligence archives, Leo Zeilig tells the story of the Congo in the dying days of colonialism and of Lumumba’s transition from nationalist to revolutionary to international symbol of African liberation.
