Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Before the plantations. Before the slave ships. Before the British flag flew over Kingston Harbour. There was Xaymaca -'Land of Wood and Water' - and the Taino people who had called it home for over a thousand years.This is where the story of Jamaica truly begins. Volume 1 of A Multi-Volume History of Jamaica takes the reader back tothe island's indigenous roots: the Taino civilisation that built villages across the island's mountain valleys and coastalplains, developed sophisticated agricultural systems, crafted the dugout canoes that carried them across the CaribbeanSea, and gave the world the hammock, the barbecue, and the word 'hurricane.'Drawing on archaeological evidence, Spanish colonial records, and the oral traditions that have survived across thecenturies, this volume reconstructs what Jamaica looked like before 1494 - when Christopher Columbus, on his secondvoyage to the Americas, became the first European to set eyes on the island and anchor in the bay the Taino called'Xaymaca.' The encounter that followed would change both worlds forever.Written in an accessible blend of narrative history and Jamaican cultural perspective, Xaymaca does not treat the arrivalof Columbus as a 'discovery.' It treats it as a collision - between two worlds, two worldviews, and two visions of whatthe land was for. The Taino numbered in the tens of thousands. Within fifty years of Spanish arrival, they were virtuallygone. This book insists that their story is told before the story of everyone who came after.The history of Jamaica does not begin with slavery. It begins here, in the deep green mountains and warm coral bays ofXaymaca - with the people who named the place and loved it first. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Historians estimate that in the last 3,400 years of recorded history, humanity has known only 268 years withoutwar - roughly 8 percent of the time. Has This World Ever Known Peace? takes that staggering statistic andturns it into a question worth sitting with: is conflict simply what we are, or is it something we have chosen, again and again, when better paths were available?This sweeping work of narrative non-fiction moves across 3,400 years of human conflict, from the earliestrecorded wars in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt through the empires of Rome, Persia, and China, into thereligious wars of the medieval world, the colonial conquests that reshaped continents, the industrial-scaleslaughter of the twentieth century, and the conflicts, insurgencies, and civil wars still unfolding today.Structured across eighteen chapters and three distinct parts, the book does not simply catalogue famous battles.It deliberately seeks out the forgotten conflicts - the wars history textbooks skipped, the civilian populationswhose suffering rarely made it into official records, and the quieter human cost that sits behind every date anddeath toll.Along the way, Winston Phillips asks harder questions than "what happened." Why does war keep repeatingacross every era, culture, and technology level? What psychological and social forces make organised violence sopersistently attractive to leaders and nations? And what would it actually take - psychologically, politically, culturally - for humanity to break a 3,400-year pattern?Written in an accessible, humane, and genuinely thought-provoking style, this is not a dry military chronicle. Itis a book for readers of popular history, geopolitics, and human nature alike - anyone who has ever looked atthe news and wondered whether things have always been this way, and whether they could ever be different.Ambitious in scope and deeply human in focus, Has This World Ever Known Peace? is ultimately less a historyof war than a case for what peace would actually require.

By dawn, she has vanished - one more name in a case the government has trained itself not to see.Detective Sergeant Ifeoma Adachukwu has spent two years investigating the Collector: a driver with no identifiable face, a car that disappears from every camera and a meter that counts something far more valuable than money. When parapsychologist Dr Maren Okwu reveals that the disappearances are linked to a secret political bargain, the investigation leads to a buried ledger, forty stolen lives and the highest office in the Republic of Mabara.To stop the Collector, Fifi and Maren must confront a president who turned private grief into public sacrifice - and a road that remembers every unpaid debt. But even after the account is settled, the warning itself becomes an invitation.
