Download or read book The Island in Imagination and Experience written by Barry Smith and published by Saraband. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 304 pages.

Book excerpt: From Treasure Island to Robben Island, from the paradise of Thomas More’s Utopia to Napoleon’s purgatory on Elba, islands have proved irresistible to mankind’s imagination since time immemorial. Self-confessed islomaniac Barry Smith explores how islands bewitch us so, and examines the kind of human experiences that islands inspire. Journeying all around the globe to take in the most fascinating stories of Earth’s half a million islands, this book considers the unique geography, politics and economics of islands and their cultures. It traces their singular place in literature, religion and philosophy, and disentangles the myths and the facts to reveal just why islands exert such an insistent grip on the human psyche.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellen DeGeneres's winning, upbeat candor has made her show one of the most popular, resilient, and honored daytime shows on the air, and her life makes for great (and very funny) reading. Relatable, her first stand-up special in 15 years, airs on Netflix beginning December 18, 2018. "I've experienced a whole lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you'll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I've put together for you in this book. I think you'll find I've left no stone unturned, no door unopened, no window unbroken, no rug unvacuumed, no ivories untickled. What I'm saying is, let us begin, shall we?" Seriously... I'm Kidding is a lively, hilarious, and often sweetly poignant look at the life of the much-loved entertainer as she opens up about her personal life, her talk show, and more. PRAISE FOR SERIOUSLY...I'M KIDDING "DeGeneres's amiably oddball riffs on everything from kale to catwalks to Jesus will make fans smile." - People "Whatever the topic, DeGeneres's compulsively readable style will appeal to fans old and new." - Publishers Weekly "Fans will not be disappointed...[DeGeneres's] trademark wit and openness shine through and through." -- Kirkus
Book Synopsis Collapse of a Country by : Nicholas Coghlan
Download or read book Collapse of a Country written by Nicholas Coghlan and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Canadian diplomat to be posted to war-torn Sudan, Nicholas Coghlan was a natural choice to lead Canada’s representation in the new Republic of South Sudan soon after the country was founded in 2011. In late 2013, Coghlan and his wife Jenny were in the capital, Juba, when it erupted in gunfire and civil war pitted one half of the army against the other, Vice-President Machar against President Kiir, and the Nuer tribe against the Dinka. This action-focused narrative, grounded by accounts of meetings with key leaders and travels throughout the dangerous, impoverished hinterland of South Sudan, explains what happened in December 2013 and why. In harrowing terms, Collapse of a Country describes the ebb and flow of the war and the humanitarian tragedy that followed, the Coghlans’ scramble to evacuate South-Sudanese Canadians from Juba, and the well-meant but often ill-conceived attempts of the international community to mitigate the misery and bring peace back to a land that has rarely known it. Coghlan’s stark narrative serves as a lesson to politicians, diplomats, aid workers, and practitioners on the breakdown of governance and relationships between ethnic groups, and the often decisive role of international development representatives. Fast-paced and poignant, Collapse of a Country gives an insider’s glimpse into the chaos, violence, and ethnic conflicts that emerged out of a civil war that has been largely ignored by the West.

Suddenly Elsha is swept into a world of privilege, but also of prejudice and hatred and inequality. And her pursuit of her vision of a world of warmth, as sung about in the ancient myths, leads her on a dangerous path…"
Book Synopsis Far in the Waste Sudan by : Nicholas Coghlan
Download or read book Far in the Waste Sudan written by Nicholas Coghlan and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2000, with controversy raging over the presence in Sudan of Canada's largest independent oil and gas producer, Ottawa decided to open a watching post in Khartoum. Nicholas Coghlan was recalled from his assignment in Columbia – another war zone – to set up and run the first diplomatic presence in the largest country in Africa. "In diplomatic circles, you cry when you hear you've been posted to Sudan," says Coghlan. "But you cry even more when you leave." Far in the Waste Sudan weaves together a personal and political account of Coghlan's three-year posting. Oil rich and on the front-line of the divide between Africa and the Middle East and between the West and Islam, Sudan is one of Africa's most inaccessible countries. Far in Waste Sudan is as an excellent introduction that takes the reader from Khartoum, former home to Carlos the Jackal and Osama bin-Laden, to the Wadi Halfa desert, where Canadian travellers played a key role to lift the seige of 1885 and rescue British General Charles Gordon, to the rebel-controlled swamps and jungle lowlands of Equatoria where the rebel People's Liberation Army have held sway for twenty years. Coghlan explores the mountain ranges of Darfur and the forgotten national park of Dinder and races a fifty-year old steel sailing dinghy on the Blue Nile. With new conflicts smouldering in Darfur, Far in Waste Sudan also explores the moral and ethical dilemmas of delivering aid to a country at war with itself. Coghlan's rare first-hand account of Sudan offers a unique perspective that leaves an indelible impression.
Book Synopsis Saddest Country by : Nicholas Coghlan
Download or read book Saddest Country written by Nicholas Coghlan and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2004 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Coghlan's travels took him off the beaten path into the disparate corners of the country - from the coca fields of Putumayo to the swamps of Darien Gap to the vast savannahs of the Llano where he confronted the stark realities of narcotrafficking, internal displacement, and human rights abuses. His courageous book reveals the workings of two guerrilla armies, bands of right-wing paramilitaries, and the squandered potential of Andres Pastrana's presidential campaign and victory over the unlamented incumbent Ernesto Samper. Pictured from the outside as a menacing narcodemocracy, the intricate truth Coghlan uncovers is at once more horrifying and more tragic. Colombia, marked by daily violence and breathtaking beauty, is the saddest country.
