Ancient Egyptian civilization
Northeast African civilization gave rise to ancient Egypt. It was located within what is now modern-day Egypt, specifically in the lower sections of the Nile River. Following prehistoric Egypt, ancient Egyptian civilization came together in 3100 BC (based on traditional Egyptian chronology)[1] with the governmental unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Menes (often identified with Narmer).[2] Ancient Egypt's history was characterized by a succession of stable kingdoms spaced out by "Intermediate Periods" of comparatively high volatility. The Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age, or the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age are the three groups into which the numerous kingdoms are divided.

Book Review:"Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki
"Rich Dad Poor Dad," first published in 1997, is one of the most well-known personal finance books globally. Robert T. Kiyosaki presents a comparative narrative of his "two dads"—his biological father (Poor Dad) and his best friend's father (Rich Dad). While Poor Dad was well-educated and worked a steady job, he struggled financially. In contrast, Rich Dad, with less formal education, built a vast financial empire. Kiyosaki’s message focuses on changing traditional views of work, wealth, and financial education, challenging readers to rethink how they handle money, assets, and investments.

Odell’s central argument is that the traditional structures of time, particularly those driven by industrialization and capitalism, have not been designed with human wellness or the natural world in mind. Instead, they serve the interests of productivity and profit, often to the detriment of individual and collective well-being.
