Book Description
Nini and the Big Tree is the first in a series of books centred on two characters, Koby and Remi. Koby and Remi are best friends who love going on adventures. In Nini and the Big tree, the two boys meet a sad and lonely elephant in the beautiful Ankasa Forest of Ghana. This chance meeting kick starts a wonderful adventure through the forest, where they encounter lots of different animals. Nini and the Big Tree is a great story for early readers and young children. Beautifully illustrated, the book takes the reader on a wonderful tour of one of Ghana's great forests, introducing some local terminology, in a fun and visual way. A glossary of terms is provided at the back of the book to help with pronunciation and understanding of the few non-English words. Parents are provided with some post-reading questions to get their early reader thinking about the themes raised in the story. A great addition to your early reader's collection!

Category : Music
ISBN : 1784786748
Book Description
The classic work on the music of Afrofuturism, from jazz to jungle More Brilliant than the Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction is one of the most extraordinary books on music ever written. Part manifesto for a militant posthumanism, part journey through the unacknowledged traditions of diasporic science fiction, this book finds the future shock in Afrofuturist sounds from jazz, dub and techno to funk, hip hop and jungle. By exploring the music of such musical luminaries as Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane, Lee Perry, Dr Octagon, Parliament and Underground Resistance, theorist and artist Kodwo Eshun mobilises their concepts in order to open the possibilities of sonic fiction: the hitherto unexplored intersections between science fiction and organised sound. Situated between electronic music history, media theory, science fiction and Afrodiasporic studies, More Brilliant than the Sun is one of the key works to stake a claim for the generative possibilities of Afrofuturism. Much referenced since its original publication in 1998, but long unavailable, this new edition includes an introduction by Kodwo Eshun as well as texts by filmmaker John Akomfrah and producer Steve Goodman aka kode9.

Carried to the Americas by slaves, the 8,000-year-old philosophy of Ifa originated with the Yoruba peoples of West Africa. Ifa's enduring message of strength and inner peace, one that offers a way to harmonize our spiritual and worldly aims, is enjoying a resurgence of popularity in the West. Written by an avid student and accomplished practitioner, The Way of the Orisa provides an exhilarating introduction to the orisa, the powerful messenger spirits who act as our personal guardians. Through fables, rituals, prayers and simple guidelines, Philip Neimark shows how we can further our personal and professional goals by cultivating the loving support of orisa energy. Joyous, wise and eminently practical, The Way of the Orisa brings a vibrant ancient tradition to contemporary life.
