Book excerpt: The #1 English-language bestseller in China--the book that is shaping China's planning and policy for the future. A "gray rhino" is a highly probable, high impact yet neglected threat: kin to both the elephant in the room and the improbable and unforeseeable black swan. Gray rhinos are not random surprises, but occur after a series of warnings and visible evidence. The bursting of the housing bubble in 2008, the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters, the new digital technologies that upended the media world, the fall of the Soviet Union...all were evident well in advance. Why do leaders and decision makers keep failing to address obvious dangers before they spiral out of control? Drawing on her extensive background in policy formation and crisis management, as well as in-depth interviews with leaders from around the world, Michele Wucker shows in The Gray Rhino how to recognize and strategically counter looming high impact threats. Filled with persuasive stories, real-world examples, and practical advice, The Gray Rhino is essential reading for managers, investors, planners, policy makers, and anyone who wants to understand how to profit by avoiding getting trampled.

Download or read book Twenty Thousand Roads written by David Meyer and published by Villard. This book was released on 2008-09-16 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A terrific biography of a rock innovator that hums with juicy detail and wincing truth. . . . Page after page groans with the folly of the ’60s drug culture, the tragedy of talent toasted before its time, the curse of wealth and the madness of wasted opportunity.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE LOS ANGELES TIMES • NAMED ONE OF THE FIVE BEST ROCK BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ROLLING STONE As a singer and songwriter, Gram Parsons stood at the nexus of countless musical crossroads, and he sold his soul to the devil at every one. His intimates and collaborators included Keith Richards, William Burroughs, Marianne Faithfull, Peter Fonda, Roger McGuinn, and Clarence White. Parsons led the Byrds to create the seminal country rock masterpiece Sweetheart of the Rodeo, helped to guide the Rolling Stones beyond the blues in their appreciation of American roots music, and found his musical soul mate in Emmylou Harris. Parsons’ solo albums, GP and Grievous Angel, are now recognized as visionary masterpieces of the transcendental jambalaya of rock, soul, country, gospel, and blues Parsons named “Cosmic American Music.” Parsons had everything—looks, charisma, money, style, the best drugs, the most heartbreaking voice—and threw it all away with both hands, dying of a drug and alcohol overdose at age twenty-six. In this beautifully written, raucous, meticulously researched biography, David N. Meyer gives Parsons’ mythic life its due. From interviews with hundreds of the famous and obscure who knew and worked closely with Parsons–many who have never spoken publicly about him before–Meyer conjures a dazzling panorama of the artist and his era. Praise for Twenty Thousand Roads “Far and away the most thorough biography of Parsons . . . skewers any number of myths surrounding this endlessly mythologized performer.”—Los Angeles Times “The definitive account of Gram Parsons’ life–and early death. From the country-rock pioneer’s wealthy, wildly dysfunctional family through his symbiotic friendship with Keith Richards, Meyer deftly illuminates one of rock’s most elusive figures.”—Rolling Stone “Meticulously researched . . . Though Meyer answers a lot of long-burning questions, he preserves Parsons’ legend as a man of mystery.”—Entertainment Weekly “Meyer gives Parsons a thorough, Peter Guralnick-like treatment.”—New York Post

Book excerpt: In the last decade over 6,000 rhinos have been killed in South Africa. Relentless poaching for their horns has led to a catastrophic fall in black rhino numbers. Meanwhile a corrupt South African government turns a blind eye to the international trade in rhino horn. This is the background to Peter Hain's brilliantly pacey and timely thriller. Battling to defend the dwindling rhino population, a veteran freedom fighter is forced to break his lifetime loyalty to the ANC as he confronts corruption at the very highest level. The stakes are high. Can the country's ancient rhino herd be saved from extinction by state-sponsored poaching? Has Mandela's 'rainbow nation' been irretrievably betrayed by political corruption and cronyism?

Download or read book Africa's Great North Road in a VW Camper written by Ted Jones and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma and I most cordially invite you to accompany us as our special arm-chair guest on an overland journey through the most exciting continent on the Planet Earth. We shall begin our journey in Cape Town, South Africa in the fall of 1964. During the following ten months we will travel and camp along Africa's Great North Road. A variety of recently created nations and peoples, a few still struggling to be free, will be visited, among them, South Africa, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and the Congo. There are, at present, more than 700 separate tribes living south of the Great Sahara Desert. Obviously all of them cannot be included. However, we will visit and camp-out with the typical African where he lives, whether it be an Afrikaner living in one of the exclusive multi-level homes cut into the rock cliffs overlooking the Bay of Cape Town surrounded by twelve-foot walls capped with broken glass and razor wire or a Wanderobo tribesman dressed in a loincloth and carrying a bow and sheath of poisoned arrows met along a primitive dusty track running through the Bush country of Tanzania. Our self-contained VW camper gave us the freedom to camp along the streets of any city or village or along the track where Native Africans were living much as they have for many hundreds of years. Please be prepared, watching people and so-called "wild" animals can take many hours and, in some instances, the supply of daylight runs out. Frequently camp was made along the track out in the Bush and was visited by elephants during the night or a pride of lions stopping by to sharpen their claws on our tires. In one instance several elephants stripped branches off a tree under which we were camped - not one of them touched the camper! It was not unusual to be awakened early in the morning by curious men, women and children who wondered what we were doing; curious but quiet and polite. We never experienced an unpleasant incident while camped out in the Bush. Getting lost in the Congo could have been a fatal mistake! My lack of attention exposed us to an outlaw group of renegades left over from the Tanzania-Uganda War. A serious effort has been made throughout to record the details and opinions as the events took place and our conclusions were formulated. The events, we think, have been accurately recorded. The opinions represent our personal interpretations and tentative conclusions. It is our sincere hope that an open-minded reading of our book will increase the degree of public conscious awareness, with respect to the critical predicament of the African peoples, their culture, environment, wildlife and other natural resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chipo moves to Harare, Zimbabwe, with big dreams for her life, and finds them shattered after becoming pregnant. Her hard-hearted father gives the baby away to a couple, Hans and Ingrid; in rebellion, she starts a life of prostitution. When Hans and Ingrid Grundey's vehicle hits a landmine, throwing them into the river, they end up on opposite shores, Hans in Zimbabwe, Ingrid in Zambia; both thinking the other dead, Ingrid finds a village and works as a nurse healing people, while Hans joins the mercenaries looking for the man who laid the landmine that killed his wife. A familiar ribbon intertwines the three characters, Hans, Ingrid, and Chipo, and leads them on a journey to find forgiveness, redemption, and the power of God working in and through their lives, transforming them and leading them closer and closer to finding one another. In the process of their journey, they find the meaning of the signature of God upon their lives; that seal of the Holy Spirit that transforms us and releases us to walk in power and victory against all odds.

Download or read book Game Ranger written by Rodney Henwood and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book should appeal to a wide range of readers, from those that have spent time working in the bush and can relate to these stories, to those still contemplating a career with wildlife. It should also appeal to the weekend and average armchair conservationist who has probably often dreamt of what it would have been like had he chosen to become a dedicated full time field officer. The book will also help give an insight into what goes on behind the scenes for those visiting a game park for their very first time. It has been written in an easy to read format, divided into individual wildlife adventures based from the authors early beginnings as a Game Ranger at a remote outpost in Northern Zululand to finally becoming Warden of Game Capture. Some of these adventures are funny and some more serious but never routine or mundane however they were always rewarding and gratifying. Enjoy the read!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humphrey W. Muciiri was taught by his parents that there was only one God who created the heavens and the earth. That God controlled everything. He was to be feared and obeyed. Humphrey had no clue how to obey God. Although characters such as Abraham, Moses, and David are considered great men of God, they disobeyed Him. Jesus Christ is the only human being who fully obeyed God and died to save humankind from eternal damnation. He became the model for humankind to emulate to live happily and joyfully now and hereafter. Humphrey wanted to have a happy and joyful life now and hereafter. He regularly read the Bible, attended church every Sunday to please God by doing good. But human nature drove him to do evil deeds. He became greatly disturbed and conflicted about what to do. After high school, the Holy Spirit revealed to him that it was by God’s grace he would be saved through faith in Jesus Christ. It was not through striving but through God’s gift, and so he could not boast about it, (Ephesians 2:9: GNB,1994). Even after believing in Jesus Christ, he still could not claim to be sinless. But by regular Bible reading, he found that when he confessed his sins to God, he had peace in his heart because he was forgiven of all wrongdoing, (1 John 1: 8-9: GNB,1994). He is continually being shaped by God to the likeness of Jesus Christ. Later, Humphrey earned a bachelor of science degree from University of Nairobi, Kenya, a master of arts from Daystar University, Nairobi, Kenya, and a Ph.D. in Organization and Management from Capella University, Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. Over three decades before coming to the United States, he worked as an entrepreneur and a manufacturing executive in multinational corporations, traveled and worked in different parts of the world. Before retirement he worked as an adjunct professor at Indiana Wesleyan University, U.S.A. He is the author of two other books namely Sons and Dads: Who will Reconcile Them? and The United States and Kenya: How Similar or Different are the Two Nations?
