The eight years spent in Africa, since\nmy last work was published, have not, I fear, improved my power of writing\nEnglish; but I hope that, whatever my descriptions want in clearness,\nor literary skill, may in a measure be compensated by the novelty of\nthe scenes described, and the additional information afforded on that\ncurse of Africa, and that shame, even now, in the 19th century, of an\nEuropean nation,the slave-trade.\nI took the Lady Nyassa to Bombay for the express purpose\nof selling her, and might without any difficulty have done so; but with\nthe thought of parting with her arose, more strongly than ever, the\nfeeling of disinclination to abandon the East Coast of Africa to the\nPortuguese and slave-trading, and I determined to run home and consult\nmy friends before I allowed the little vessel to pass from my hands.\nAfter, therefore, having put two Ajawa lads, Chuma and Wakatani, to\nschool under the eminent missionary the Rev. Dr. Wilson, and having\nprovided satisfactorily for the native crew, I started homewards with\nthe three white sailors, and reached London July 20th, 1864. Mr.\nand Mrs. Webb, my much-loved friends, wrote to Bombay inviting me, in\nthe event of my coming to England, to make Newstead Abbey my headquarters,\nand on my arrival renewed their invitation: and though, when I accepted\nit, I had no intention of remaining so long with my kind-hearted generous\nfriends, I stayed with them until April, 1865, and under their roof\ntranscribed from my own and my brothers journal the whole of\nthis present book. It is with heartfelt gratitude I would record\ntheir unwearied kindness. My acquaintance with Mr. Webb began\nin Africa, where he was a daring and successful hunter, and his continued\nfriendship is most valuable because he has seen missionary work, and\nhe would not accord his respect and esteem to me had he not believed\nthat I, and my brethren also, were to be looked on as honest men earnestly\ntrying to do our duty.\nThe Government have supported the proposal of the Royal Geographical\nSociety made by my friend Sir Roderick Murchison, and have united with\nthat body to aid me in another attempt to open Africa to civilizing\ninfluences, and a valued private friend has given a thousand pounds\nfor the same object. I propose to go inland, north of the territory\nwhich the Portuguese in Europe claim, and endeavour to commence that\nsystem on the East which has been so eminently successful on the West\nCoast; a system combining the repressive efforts of H.M. cruisers with\nlawful trade and Christian Missionsthe moral and material results\nof which have been so gratifying. I hope to ascend the Rovuma,\nor some other river North of Cape Delgado, and, in addition to my other\nwork, shall strive, by passing along the Northern end of Lake Nyassa\nand round the Southern end of Lake Tanganyika, to ascertain the watershed\nof that part of Africa. In so doing, I have no wish to unsettle\nwhat with so much toil and danger was accomplished by Speke and Grant,\nbut rather to confirm their illustrious discoveries.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2519 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Livingstone, David \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 1, 2001 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Livingstone, David,1813-1873 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212260638877,"sku":"gb-2519-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2519_7ac6fe4c-6ab6-4a21-b54b-852288e237ff.jpg?v=1671253524"},{"product_id":"ismailia-gb-3607","title":"Ismailia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsmailia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn interval of five years has elapsed since the termination of my\r\nengagement in the service of His Highness the Khedive of\r\nEgypt, \"to suppress the slave-hunters of Central Africa, and to\r\nannex the countries constituting the Nile Basin, with the object\r\nof opening those savage regions to legitimate commerce and\r\nestablishing a permanent government.\"\nThis volume\"Ismailia\"gives an accurate description of the salient\r\npoints of the expedition. My thanks are due to the public for the kind\r\nreception of the work, and for the general appreciation of the spirit\r\nwhich prompted me to undertake a mission so utterly opposed to the\r\nEgyptian ideas of 1869-1873; at a time when no Englishman had held a\r\nhigh command, when rival consulates were struggling for paramount\r\ninfluence, when the native officials were jealous of foreign\r\ninterference, and it appeared that slavery and the slave trade of the\r\nWhite Nile were institutions almost necessary to the existence of\r\nEgyptian society.\nIt was obvious to all observers that an attack upon the slave-dealing\r\nand slave-hunting establishments of Egypt by a foreigneran\r\nEnglishmanwould be equal to a raid upon a hornets' nest, that all\r\nefforts to suppress the old-established traffic in negro slaves would be\r\nencountered with a determined opposition, and that the prime agent and\r\nleader of such an expedition must be regarded \"with hatred, malice, and\r\nall uncharitableness.\" At that period (1869) the highest authorities\r\nwere adverse to the attempt. An official notice was despatched from the\r\nBritish Foreign Office to the Consul-General of Egypt that British\r\nsubjects belonging to Sir Samuel Baker's expedition must not expect the\r\nsupport of their government in the event of complications. The\r\nenterprise was generally regarded as chimerical in Europe, with\r\nhostility in Egypt, but with sympathy in America.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3607 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Baker, Samuel White \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2003 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Baker, Samuel White \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212364611741,"sku":"gb-3607-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/3607_21013de9-5d66-4fba-82ba-c2bd3f2b3d0b.jpg?v=1671256338"},{"product_id":"how-i-found-livingstone-gb-5157","title":"How I Found Livingstone","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow I Found Livingstone\r - Travels, adventures, and discoveres in Central Africa, including an account of four months' residence with Dr. Livingstone, by Henry M.

On\r\nattentively studying the materials before me,\r\nhowever, I perceived that Mr. Richardson had\r\nwritten in most places with a view to publication;\r\nand that, had he lived, he would soon\r\nhave brought what, on a cursory examination,\r\nappeared a mere chaotic mass, into a shape\r\nthat would have accorded with his own idea\r\nof a book of travels. Such being the case, I\r\nthought it bestin order to leave the stamp of[vi]\r\nauthenticity on this singular record of enterpriseto\r\ndo little more than the author would himself\r\nhave done. In the form of a diary, thereforewritten\r\nsometimes with Oriental navetthe\r\nreader will here find what may be called the\r\ndomestic history of one of the most successful\r\nexpeditions undertaken for the exploration of\r\nCentral Africa. I believe it would have been\r\npossible to get up a work of more temporary\r\ninterest from the same materials; but this could\r\nonly have been done by sacrificing truthfulness\r\nof detail. In the present form, Mr. Richardson's\r\njournal will always remain as an authority on\r\nthe geography and present condition of a large\r\nportion of the Saharan desert, hitherto unvisited,\r\nat any rate undescribed.\nAs will be seen, the Mission was accompanied\r\nby two German gentlemen, Drs. Barth and Overwegthe\r\nformer, of whom I had the pleasure of\r\nmeeting in Egypt, after his enterprising ride\r\nalong the coast of Libya. They are still in\r\nCentral Africa, pushing their excursions on all\r\nsides, from Bornou into unknown tracts; and\r\nthe accounts they may publish on their return\r\nwill be anxiously looked for. The great traverse\r\nof the Saharan desert, however, with all its vicissitudes[vii]\r\nand dangers, the physical aspect of that\r\nwonderful region, and the manners of the various\r\ntribes that inhabit it, will, in the present volume,\r\nbe found to be fully describednot, it is true,\r\nwith much attempt at literary ornament, but in\r\nthe vivid though simple language in which a\r\nman sets down impressions which he has just\r\nreceived. I have endeavoured to remove all the\r\nfaults which may be supposed to have arisen\r\nfrom haste or carelessness, and have necessarily\r\nre-written several passages, and passed a correcting\r\npen over the whole manuscript. But I think\r\nI may say with confidence, that there is no observation\r\nor statement in the following pages which\r\ncannot be justified by a reference to the original\r\njournals and scattered memoranda.\nTo me this simple record of daily occurrences\r\nseems highly interesting. It divides\r\nitself, naturally, into a succession of parts of\r\nunequal importance. First comes an account\r\nof the journey to Mourzuk, the capital of Fezzan,\r\ncontaining the traverse of the frightful Hamadah\r\nor plateau which separates that province from\r\nthe regency of Tripoli. Then we have a residence\r\nat Mourzuk itself, Mr. Richardson being\r\nobliged to wait the arrival from Ght of an[viii]\r\nescort of Tuarick chieftains, with whom he had\r\npartly made acquaintance during a former trip\r\nin the desert. This escort appeared after some\r\ndelay; and the Mission proceeded across the\r\nFezzan plains to the independent state of Ght,\r\nthrough a very wild and picturesque country.\r\nAt this point began, if not the most arduous, at\r\nany rate the most dangerous, and at the same\r\ntime the most novel, part of the journey. Mr.\r\nRichardson had undertaken, on his way to Soudan\r\nProper (his first destination), to pass by the\r\nhitherto unexplored kingdom of Aheer or Asben,\r\nsituated towards the southern limits of the Sahara.\r\nThe march of the Mission across the\r\ndeserts that lie between Ght and that territory\r\nwas rendered exciting by continual reports of\r\ndanger from pursuing freebooters of the Haghar\r\nand Azgher tribes; but the enemy were outstripped,\r\nand no actual attack took place until\r\nthe first inhabited districts of Aheer were reached.\r\nHere some lawless tribes levied black-mail,\r\non the caravan, which was then permitted to\r\nproceed, though in doubt and alarm, until it\r\narrived under the long-expected protection of\r\nSheikh En-Noor, one of the great chiefs of the\r\nKailouee tribes, at his town, or rather encampment,[ix]\r\nof Tintalous. Mr. Richardson's residence\r\nat this place was long and tedious. He suffered,\r\nbesides, from the extortionate disposition of the\r\nSheikh or Sultan, who, however, after considerable\r\nexactions, became his friend. This Saharan\r\ncharacter is brought out by a succession of\r\namusing touches. But our traveller was impatient\r\nto proceed, and seems to have hailed\r\nwith delight the announcement that the great\r\nSalt-Caravan, which annually transports the necessary\r\ncondiment from Bilma vi Aheer to\r\nthe south, was about to start, and that the\r\nSheikh and the Christians were to accompany\r\nit. Some further disappointments occurred,\r\nbut at length the Mission proceeded to Damerghou,\r\nwhence Drs. Barth and Overweg went,\r\none to Maradee and the other to Kanou, whilst\r\nMr. Richardson proceeded alone to Zinder,\r\nsituated in the province of Damagram. Here\r\nhe was well received by the Sarkee, or Governor,\r\nand he dilates with well-founded exultation\r\non his escape from the insolent and\r\nrapacious Tuaricks. Sad sights, however, connected\r\nwith the slave-trade, checked his delight.\r\nDuring his stay the Sarkee went out in person\r\nto hunt down the subjects of his own sovereign,[x]\r\nthat he might pay his debts by selling them\r\ninto captivity. After another considerable delay\r\nMr. Richardson was enabled to start once more,\r\nand being obliged to change his original plan\r\nproceeded to Kuka, the capital of Bornou, by\r\nway of Minyo. Shortly after leaving Gurai,\r\nthe chief town of that province, the unfortunate\r\ntraveller found his strength to be gradually\r\ngiving way. He had already previously\r\ncomplained of the heat and fatigue, but did\r\nnot seem to have felt any great alarm. Now,\r\nhowever, the climate seems to have told upon\r\nhim with sudden and fatal violence. His last\r\nmoments are described in a letter from his\r\nfellow-traveller, Dr. Barth, who hastened to the\r\nspot with laudable energy as soon as he heard\r\nof the melancholy catastrophe that had taken\r\nplace. Mr. Richardson died at Ungurutua,\r\nabout six days' journey from Kuka, the capital\r\nof Bornou, on the 4th of March, 1851, eleven\r\nmonths after his departure from Tripoli.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17164 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Richardson, James \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 27, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Richardson, James,1806-1851 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217431593117,"sku":"gb-17164-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/17164.jpg?v=1671431720"},{"product_id":"stanley-s-tocht-ter-opsporing-van-livingstone-gb-17528","title":"Stanley's tocht ter opsporing van Livingstone","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStanley's tocht ter opsporing van Livingstone - De Aarde en haar Volken, 1873\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReeds vroeger maakten wij met enkele woorden melding van de merkwaardige reis, door den Amerikaan Henry Stanley, ter opsporing\r\nvan Dr. Livingstone ondernomen, eene reis, met zoo gelukkigen uitslag bekroond. Wat wij daaromtrent mededeelden, was ontleend\r\naan de berichten, die de onverschrokken reiziger, toen nog op zijne terugreis naar Europa, vooruit had gezonden, en waarin,\r\nuit den aard der zaak, alleen de hoofdtrekken van hetgeen hem ontmoet en bejegend was, konden worden opgenomen. Sedert heeft\r\nStanley een uitvoerig verhaal van zijne reis naar het binnenland van Afrika in het licht gezonden: en het is aan dat verhaal,\r\ndat wij eenige schetsen wenschen te ontleenen. Wij zullen trachten een beknopt overzicht te geven van dezen, in menig opzicht,\r\ngedenkwaardigen tocht, ondernomen om zekerheid te erlangen omtrent het lot van een man, die door zijne reizen en de uitnemende\r\ndiensten door hem aan de wetenschap en de zaak der beschaving bewezen, de algemeene belangstelling had verdiend en verworven.\r\n\r\n\nHet is bekend, dat Livingstone, in 1867 voor de derde maal naar Afrika vertrokken, sedert geruimen tijd niets van zich had\r\nlaten hooren. De laatste tijding, die men van hem zelf ontvangen had, was een brief aan den engelschen consul Kirk te Zanzibar,\r\ngedagteekend uit Oedzjidzji, den 30sten Mei 1869. Na dien tijd had men niets meer van hem vernomen en had zich bij herhaling het gerucht van zijn dood verspreid.\r\nDaar evenwel die geruchten, van inlanders afkomstig, weinig vertrouwen verdienden en van elders door niets bevestigd werden,\r\nwas er sinds lang sprake van pogingen, om zoo mogelijk, zekerheid te erlangen aangaande het lot, dat den beroemden reiziger\r\nhad getroffen. De engelsche regeering weigerde de kosten van eene expeditie voor hare rekening te nemen; in het begin van\r\nhet vorige jaar werd eindelijk door de Geographical Society te Londen, door de bijdragen van particulieren geholpen, eene expeditie uitgerust, waaraan ook de zoon van Livingstone deel\r\nnam, en die zich bepaaldelijk ten doel stelde, den moedigen reiziger in het binnenland te gaan opzoeken.\r\n\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17528 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Stanley, Henry M.

Stanley into the Heart of the Dark Continent\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor centuries Africa has been \"the dark continent\" of our globe. The\r\nsea-washed edges of this immense tract have been known time immemorial.\r\nEgypt, at its northeastern corner, is the oldest of the governments of\r\nthe earth; while the nations skirting the Red and the Mediterranean seas\r\nwere actors in the earliest recorded history. But Africa as a whole has\r\nbeen an unknown land.\nThat it was a fertile land, was demonstrated by the treasures brought\r\nfrom its depths by those mighty rivers, the Nile, the Niger and the\r\nCongo. That it was populous, was proven by the fact that its native\r\ntribes had furnished to the world without, forty millions of slaves in\r\nthe period of two centuries. Both the slave-hunter and the slave told\r\nwondrous tales of the inner depths of the land, but these were mere\r\nhints as to the actual facts of the case. Africa remained a mystery and\r\na riddle, that seemingly were never to be penetrated.\nFor many years explorations in Africa were made simply to gratify\r\ncuriosity, or from a desire to penetrate beyond lines reached by other\r\nmen. All the results desired or expected were amusement or fame. But in\r\nlater years African explorations have assumed an entirely different\r\naspect. From Livingstone, who first began to open up \"the dark\r\ncontinent,\" to Cameron and Stanley who pierced its very heart, all\r\nexplorations have tended to one great endthe civilization and\r\nChristianization of the vast population that inhabits it. No[Pg viii] matter\r\nwhat the ruling motive may have been in each case, whether, as in\r\nLivingstone, to introduce Christianity; or, in Baker, to put a stop to\r\nthe slave trade; or, in Stanley, to unlock the mystery of ages, still\r\nthe tendency has been the same: to bring Africa into the family of\r\ncontinents instead of being the earth's \"pariah;\" to throw light on this\r\nblack spot of our planet, and make those who inhabit it practically and\r\nmorally, what they are really, a portion of the human race.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 38389 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Headley, Joel Tyler \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 23, 2011 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributor (Author)\u003c\/b\u003e: Johnson, Willis Fletcher, 1857-1931 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Headley, Joel Tyler,1813-1897 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43220687224989,"sku":"gb-38389-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/38389.jpg?v=1671557622"},{"product_id":"les-explorateurs-du-centre-de-l-afrique-gb-40279","title":"Les Explorateurs du Centre de l'Afrique","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLes Explorateurs du Centre de l'Afrique\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eL'Afrique centrale a certainement t connue des anciens gyptiens.\r\nL'gypte seule avec sa valle du Nil, ses dserts de Nubie et de Libye\r\nn'est pas une base suffisante pour expliquer la puissance des pharaons,\r\ndes Ssostris et des Ptolme.

And there is equally that within us which is touched\r\nmost sensitively and stirred most deeply by the heroism which has\r\ncharacterized the pioneer of all ages of the world and in every field of\r\nadventure.\nHow like enchantment is the story of that revelation which the New\r\nAmerica furnished the Old World! What a spirit of inquiry and exploit it\r\nopened! How unprecedented and startling, adventure of every kind became!\r\nWhat thrilling volumes tell of the hardships of daring navigators or of\r\nthe perils of brave and dashing landsmen!

During this brief interval, our\nknowledge of the geography of the country and the\ndistribution of its waterways has been considerably\nextended; important political events have transpired\non both the eastern and western boundaries\nof the Congo Free State; commerce has seriously\nundertaken the task of exploiting the resources of\nthe interior; and missions also have been moving\nonward, and at the same time have succeeded in\nstrengthening their old positions.\nThe length of navigable waterway accessible from\nStanley Pool has already been proved to be more\nthan 5,000 miles; and there are several important\nrivers which flow into the Congo, still to be traced\nto their ultimate points, besides tributaries of8\nwhich we know nothing, save that their volumes\npromise long navigable channels into the interior.\nThese unvisited waterways at a very moderate\nestimate will add another 1,000 or 1,500 miles to\nthat wonderful system of natural canals which is\ndestined to prove such an important factor in the\ncivilization of this portion of Central Africa. So\nimportant are the facilities afforded by the Congo\nwater system that, notwithstanding the increased\ndistance involved, Mr. Stanley has taken advantage\nof them in making his attempt to relieve\nEmin Pasha, who is encamped at Wadelai on\nthe Upper Nile; and if the proposed railway\nfor connecting the Upper with the Lower Congo\ndoes but become an accomplished fact, these waterways\nwill be the usual routes for communicating\nwith the Central Soudan, Lakes Albert, Muata\nNzige, and Tanganika, as well as with Nyangwe\nand the empire of the Muata Yamvo.\nThe political event of importance which has\ntranspired on the western boundary has been the\ndelimitation of the frontier between the French\nterritory and that of the Congo Free State, extending\nbetween to sea-coast and Manyanga, and\nalso the bringing of the dividing line between the\ntwo from 17 East longitude to the right bank of\nthe Mobangi. These disputed boundaries were9\nmatters with grave possibilities in their wake till\nthe signing of the treaty settled the questions involved\nand removed all uneasiness. On the eastern\nside the loss of Stanley Falls Station and its occupation\nby the Arabs was for some time the source\nof great anxiety, but a treaty has been entered into\nwith the principal Arab chief, and if its stipulations\nare but observed (and it will be to the interest of\nthe Arabs to observe them), the result will by no\nmeans be so disastrous as was feared.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 59348 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bentley, W.

Till then the country had been little less than a\r\nsealed book to the outside world, and the student of geography\r\nonly knew its face as a blank and unknown void. History also stood\r\nsilent, giving little information or evidence of what these hidden\r\nrecesses in the Dark Continent might contain. What knowledge\r\nthe world did have was limited to the coasts, and that only obtained\r\nthrough the prominence given it by the atrocious slave tradeat\r\nthat time the leading feature of its commerce. But what a mighty\r\nchange has been wrought since then! To-day, thanks to the missionary\r\nspirit, labors and exploits of Livingstone, who first planted\r\nthe germs of Civilization and Christianity within her borders, as well\r\nas to the patient and persevering spirit of the bold and intrepid\r\nStanley, upon whose shoulders so fitly fell the mantle of the dead\r\nLivingstone, we are in possession of a more comprehensive map of\r\nAfrica. History, too, is no longer silent. Her pages now teem\r\nwith marvellous accounts of the wonderful regions developed by\r\nthese and other daring explorerswith the still more remarkable\r\ntales of the immeasurable wealth lying dormant and quietly awaiting\r\nthe developing arms of Commerce. Geography and Science\r\nhave also received a mighty impetus through the discoveries made\r\nby these fearless adventurers into the wilds of the Dark Continent;\r\nand to-day we are enabled to record the fact that a satisfactory\r\nsolution to the great problems, which for ages have so much mystified\r\nthe world, has been arrived at. The return of Stanley and his\r\nfollowers, with the fruits of their experiences and the light which\r\nthey are able to throw upon the subject, will give to the literature\r\nof the world an addition of almost incalculable value. The expedition\r\nwill take historic rank with the famous retreat of the ten[vi]\r\nthousand under Xenophon. As the tale unfolds, of the arduous\r\ntoils and dangers encountered in the vast African wilderness, wonder\r\nat its success increases.\nThough much has been done since Livingstones time to fill up\r\nthe blanks of Central Africas physical geography, no expedition\r\nhas ever returned with a richer harvest of discoveries than Stanleys\r\nlast. The almost impenetrable forest of the Aruwimi, probably the\r\nlargest of African forestsextending over four hundred miles of\r\nlatitude and longitudewith a dense jungle in all stages of decay,\r\nresounding with the murmurs of monkeys and chimpanzees, strange\r\nnoises of birds and animals, and the crashes of troops of elephants\r\nrushing through the dark and tangled copse, is an obstacle that,\r\nonce surmounted, gives us the hydrography of the greatest lake-system\r\nof the globe, adds to the giant mountains of geography the\r\nstately and snow-clad Ruwenzori, whose rocky peak towers eighteen\r\nor nineteen thousand feet above sea-level, and to the lakes the\r\nAlbert Edward Nyanza, whence issues the mysterious stream which\r\nfertilizes Egypt and makes the valley of the Nile the most marvellous\r\nseat of human culture, art and science.\nIn Stanleys Story the reader has presented a most thrilling\r\nnarrative of the terrible experiences encountered, as well as a\r\ngraphic account of these wonderful discoveries and the amazing\r\nachievements accomplished by Mr. Stanley during his career in\r\nAfrica. The subjectone of unparalleled interestis presented in\r\nthe characteristic style of the writer, from thoroughly reliable information,\r\ndata, and the official reports of Mr. Stanley himself. It\r\nfavorably commends itself to every lover of geographical science,\r\nas well as to the admirer of the marvellous in life and nature. It\r\nhas been prepared in a popular form, and at a price much lower\r\nthan books of like character and value, and very much lower than\r\nothers which claim to give the story of Stanley in Africa, but are\r\nsimply compilations from the writings of the different explorers who\r\nhave in times past essayed to traverse its vast interior, and failed.\r\nStanley, however, has not failed. Fate has decreed otherwise. His\r\nstory has been told. It is the only authentic story, as recorded in\r\nthese pages, and the reader will find it not only interesting but\r\nhighly entertaining and thoroughly instructive throughout.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 61496 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Feather, A.

Native caravans, if\r\nlightly laden, can accomplish it in twenty-five days,\r\nincluding four halts. The maximum altitude observed\r\nby B. P. therm. was 4050 feet, the minimum 2850.\r\nThis region contains the two great divisions of Unyamwezi\r\nand Uvinza.\nThe name of Unyamwezi was first heard by the\r\nPortuguese, according to Giovanni Botero, towards the\r\nend of the sixteenth century, or about 1589. Pigafetta,\r\nwho, in 1591, systematised the discoveries of the\r\nearlier Portuguese, placed the empire of Monemugi\r\nor Munimigi in a vast triangular area, whose limits\r\nwere Monomotapa, Congo, and Abyssinia: from his\r\npages it appears that the people of this central kingdom\r\nwere closely connected by commerce with the towns on\r\nthe eastern coast of Africa. According to Dapper, the\r\nDutch historian, (1671,) whose work has been the great\r\nmine of information to subsequent writers upon Africa\r\nsouth of the equator, about sixty days journey from\r\nthe Atlantic is the kingdom of Monemugi, which others\r\ncall Nimeamaye, a name still retained under the corrupted\r\nform Nimeaye in our atlases. M. Malte-Brun,\r\nsenior, mentioning Mounemugi, adds, ou, selon\r\nune autographe plus authentique, Mou-nimougi. All\r\nthe Portuguese authors call the people Monemugi or\r\nMono-emugi; Mr. Cooley prefers Monomoezi, which he\r\nderives from Munha Munge, or lord of the world, the\r\ntitle of a great African king in the interior, commemorated\r\nby the historian De Barros. Mr. Macqueen (Geography\r\nof Central Africa), who also gives Manmoise,\r\ndeclares that Mueno-muge, Mueno-muize, Monomoise,\r\n[3]\r\nand Uniamese, relate to the same place and people,\r\ncomprehending a large extent of country in the interior\r\nof Africa: he explains the word erroneously to mean\r\nthe great Moises or Movisas. The Rev. Mr. Erhardt\r\nasserts that for facility of pronunciation the coast merchants\r\nhave turned the name Wanamesi into Waniamesi,\r\nwhich also leads his readers into error. The\r\nRev. Mr. Livingstone thus endorses the mistake of\r\nMessrs. Macqueen and Erhardt: The names Monomoizes,\r\nspelt also Monemuigis and Monomuizes, and\r\nMonomotapistas, when applied to the tribes, are exactly\r\nthe same as if we should call the Scotch the Lord\r\nDouglases.... Monomoizes was formed from Moiza or\r\nMuiza, the singular of the word Babisa or Aiza, the\r\nproper name of a large tribe to the north. In these\r\nsentences there is a confusion between the lands of the\r\nWanyamwezi, lying under the parallel of the Tanganyika\r\nLake, and the Wabisa (in the singular Mbs, the\r\nWavisa of the Rev. Mr. Rebmann), a well-known commercial\r\ntribe dwelling about the Maravi or Nyassa Lake,\r\nS.W. of Kilwa, whose name in times of old was corrupted\r\nby the Portuguese to Movizas or Movisas.\r\nFinally M. Guillain, in a work already alluded to, states\r\ncorrectly the name of the people to be Oua-nyamouczi,\r\nbut in designating the country pays de Nyamouezi,\r\nhe shows little knowledge of the Zangian dialects.\r\nM. V. A. Malte-Brun, junior (Bulletin de Gographie,\r\nParis, 1856, Part II. p. 295) correctly writes\r\nWanyamwezi.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 66813 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Burton, Richard Francis \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 24, 2021 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Burton, Richard Francis \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43250437980317,"sku":"gb-66813-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/66813.webp?v=1672926729"},{"product_id":"cobalt-red-how-the-blood-of-the-congo-powers-our-lives-9781250322159","title":"Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNow in paperback: the powerful, revelatory \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Publishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller, shortlisted for the\u003ci\u003e Financial Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Business Book of the Year Award.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn unflinching investigation reveals the human rights abuses behind the Congo's cobalt mining operation--and the moral implications that affect us all. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCobalt Red\u003c\/i\u003e is the searing, first-ever exposé of the immense toll taken on the people and environment of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by cobalt mining, as told through the testimonies of the Congolese people themselves. Activist and researcher Siddharth Kara has traveled deep into cobalt territory to document the testimonies of the people living, working, and dying for cobalt. To uncover the truth about brutal mining practices, Kara investigated militia-controlled mining areas, traced the supply chain of child-mined cobalt from toxic pit to consumer-facing tech giants, and gathered shocking testimonies of people who endure immense suffering and even die mining cobalt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCobalt is an essential component to every lithium-ion rechargeable battery made today, the batteries that power our smartphones, tablets, laptops, and electric vehicles.

Billions of people in the world cannot conduct their daily lives without participating in a human rights and environmental catastrophe in the Congo.

The Congo was at last being set free from Belgium--one of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo's new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling \"the Congo crisis.\" Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization's biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading. Frustrated with the fecklessness of the UN and spurned by the United States, Lumumba then approached the Soviets for help--an appeal that set off alarm bells at the CIA. To forestall the spread of Communism in Africa, the CIA sent word to its station chief in the Congo, Larry Devlin: Lumumba had to go. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithin a year, everything would unravel. The CIA plot to murder Lumumba would fizzle out, but he would be deposed in a CIA-backed coup, transferred to enemy territory in a CIA-approved operation, and shot dead by Congolese assassins. Hammarskjöld, too, would die, in a mysterious plane crash en route to negotiate a cease-fire with the Congo's rebellious southeast. And a young, ambitious military officer named Joseph Mobutu, who had once sworn fealty to Lumumba, would seize power with U.S. help and misrule the country for more than three decades. For the Congolese people, the events of 1960-61 represented the opening chapter of a long horror story. For the U.S. government, however, they provided a playbook for future interventions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart A.
