Book Synopsis Beyond the Malachite Hills by : Jonathan Lawley
Download or read book Beyond the Malachite Hills written by Jonathan Lawley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What hope is there for Africa? Since the heady and hopeful days of decolonisation the story seems to be one of unrelenting disaster - revolution; brutal military dictatorship; ethnic conflict - even genocide; civil war; state-threatening corruption; economic failure; and, in places, the complete breakdown of state and society. And all has been compounded by natural disasters - drought, famine and the scourge of AIDS. But there is another, less reported, story of Africa: throwing off the colonial past, embracing modernity, learning fast, gaining in pride and self-confidence and embracing the crucial management function; all this in the context of fruitful collaboration with Europe and American business and, increasingly, with the rising Asian economic superpowers. Jonathan Lawley's Beyond the Malachite Hills paints a vivid and convincing picture of solid political, social and economic progress. He is in a unique position to tell this story. After a 'colonial' childhood in India under the Raj and in white-dominated Southern Rhodesia, followed by school and university in apartheid South Africa, he rejected racialism and white minority rule. He joined the British Colonial Service and served as a District Officer in Northern Rhodesia in the years running up to decolonisation, and stayed on in Zambia after independence. Jonathan Lawley's business career reflected and contributed to African economic advancement, firmly rooted in a rejection of racialism even in its heartland of big, European-dominated, business. He applied his business ideals in pursuing indigenous technical and business training in copper mining in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), followed by assignments in Morocco and Mauritius. A brief interlude and a return to African politics came when he helped to supervise the elections following the Lancaster House Agreement which brought Robert Mugabe to power in Zimbabwe. But his most lasting contribution to Africa came with the mining giant Rio Tinto, and his ground-breaking scheme for training indigenous technical managers. These rose to the highest positions and broke the mould of European managerial and technical dominance. His promotion of African business continued in his role as Africa Director of the British Executive Service Overseas (BESO) and as Director of the Royal African Society and consultant to the West African Business Association (WABA) and the Southern African Business Forum (SABF). Beyond the Malachite Hills is a remarkable testament to his long-lasting and profound involvement with this often misunderstood continent.

Book Synopsis Green Hills of Africa by : Ernest Hemingway
Download or read book Green Hills of Africa written by Ernest Hemingway and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things, and because it takes a man's life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave. In the winter of 1933, Ernest Hemingway and his wife Pauline set out on a two-month safari in the big-game country of East Africa, camping out on the great Serengeti Plain at the foot of magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro. “I had quite a trip,” the author told his friend Philip Percival, with characteristic understatement. Green Hills of Africa is Hemingway's account of that expedition, of what it taught him about Africa and himself. Richly evocative of the region's natural beauty, tremendously alive to its character, culture, and customs, and pregnant with a hard-won wisdom gained from the extraordinary situations it describes, it is widely held to be one of the twentieth century's classic travelogues.

Book Synopsis The Land of Footprints by : Stewart Edward White
Download or read book The Land of Footprints written by Stewart Edward White and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some travel books authors try to impress the reader with a full sense of the danger and hardship they have undergone. Others are deadly afraid of bragging about their adventures, knowing, for instance, that hundreds of others have been charged by a lion and may be reading their book. In The Land of Footprints, Stewart Edward White attempts to be the ideal travel book author, one who tells the reader what the country, its people, and its animals are really like, "not in vague and grandiose 'word paintings,' not in strange and foreign sounding words and phrases, but in comparison with something they know." The Land of Footprints is the enormous enjoyable, immensely readable memoir of Stewart Edward White's year spent in East Equatorial Africa at the beginning of the 20th century. STEWART EDWARD WHITE (1873-1946) was born in Michigan and lived in California where he became known as the author of many articles, short stories, and books about the state's mining and lumber camps and his explorations around the world. He devoted the last thirty years of his life to writing accounts of his wife's mediumistic explorations of the inner dimensions of life.

There?s no stopping Kari and Lucas from jumping on the trail and tracking her down. Even when it leads to the heart of the Scottish highlands! Following in the spine-tingling tracks of The Mystery of the Third Lucretia, Susan Runholt?s second book featuring super sleuths Kari and Lucas is just as smart and fast-paced as the first!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Sophie Cameron, the author of Out of the Blue, comes a novel of magic, adventure, and what it means to truly belong. Brody Fair feels like nobody gets him: not his overworked parents, not his genius older brother, and definitely not the girls in the projects set on making his life miserable. Then he meets Nico, an art student who takes Brody to Everland, a “knock-off Narnia" that opens its door at 11:21pm each Thursday for Nico and his band of present-day misfits and miscreants. Here Brody finds his tribe and a weekly respite from a world where he feels out of place. But when the doors to Everland begin to disappear, Brody is forced to make a decision: He can say goodbye to Everland and to Nico, or stay there and risk never seeing his family again. Will Nico take the last bus to Everland?
Book Synopsis ALLAN QUATERMAIN – Complete Series: 18 Adventure Books in One Volume by : Henry Rider Haggard
Download or read book ALLAN QUATERMAIN – Complete Series: 18 Adventure Books in One Volume written by Henry Rider Haggard and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 3910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'ALLAN QUATERMAIN Complete Series: 18 Adventure Books in One Volume', Henry Rider Haggard showcases his mastery of adventure literature through the thrilling escapades of the legendary hunter and explorer, Allan Quatermain. Set against the backdrop of Africa's untamed wilderness, Haggard's vivid descriptions and fast-paced narrative transport the readers to a world filled with danger, excitement, and treasure hunts. The series delves into themes of colonialism, masculinity, and the clash of civilizations, making it a significant contribution to the adventure genre. Henry Rider Haggard's own experiences in Africa and his fascination with exploration and archaeology undoubtedly influenced the creation of the character Allan Quatermain. Haggard's background as a British writer during the Victorian era also adds depth to his portrayal of the challenges faced by his protagonist in the rugged African terrain. I highly recommend 'ALLAN QUATERMAIN Complete Series' to readers who enjoy action-packed adventures, rich descriptions of exotic locales, and a protagonist who embodies the ethos of a courageous and rugged explorer.
