"An insider traces the details of hope and ambition gone wrong in the Giant of Africa, Nigeria, Africa's most populous country. When it gained independence from Britain in 1960, hopes were high that, with mineral wealth and over 140 million people, the most educated workforce in Africa, Nigeria would become Africa s first superpower and a stabilizing democratic influence in the region. However, these lofty hopes were soon dashed and the country lumbered from crisis to crisis, with the democratic government eventually being overthrown in a violent military coup in January 1966. From 1966 until 1999, the army held onto power almost uninterrupted under a succession of increasingly authoritarian military governments and army coups. Military coups and military rule (which began as an emergency aberration) became a seemingly permanent feature of Nigerian politics. The author names names, and explores how British influence aggravated indigenous rivalries. He shows how various faction...

English summary: The history of the sciences: physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, biology, and medicine! This volume presents the labyrinthine ways in which the modern sciences have developed from the past until today, taking the reader on an exciting and informative journey . In 585 B.C., Thales of Milet was to have predicted a solar eclipse - a momentous moment in astronomy. But the Greeks took over a large amount of knowledge of natural sciences from Egypt and Babylon. In the Middle Ages, this knowledge was further refined in the Arab world, until, in the 16th century, Europe again became interested in natural sciences.

Exceptional exhibits, precious manuscripts, and models take us on a fascinating voyage that not only manages to link Antiquity and the modern world, but also East and West. German text. G...
