Can anyone advise me re: home study of the human history of the African Continent. Do I segment my reading by area or epoch? Asking because I can't remember ever feeling so lost prior to starting a learning project.

Growing up, Sesame Street taught me the importance of education, empathy, and kindness.
Bugs Bunny, on the other hand, taught me that revenge on my enemies should be quick, clever, and brutal.
My older daughter successfully defended her dissertation on particle physics yesterday and achieved her doctorate! I am incredibly proud of her! What makes me sad is that we do not have the same kind of financial support for those who do not go into STEM continuing ed. Her degree would never have been affordable outside of the hard sciences.
Tom SullivanWe’ve been sold the “great man” for well over a century. Alone. Resolute. One of those did not ignite fusion for the 1st time last week. Our western myths gloss over that the first transcontinental railroad was financed and subsidized by federal and state governments. We forget westward expansion was fueled by the Homestead Act (free land).
