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.

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!

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.
Book Synopsis The Matter of Images by : Richard Dyer
Download or read book The Matter of Images written by Richard Dyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now published in a revised second edition, The Matter of Images searches through the resonances of the term ‘representation’, analysing images in terms of why they matter, what they are made of, and the material realities they refer to. Richard Dyer’s analyses consider representations of ‘out’ groups and traditionally dominant groups alike, and encompass the eclectic texts of contemporary culture, from queers to straights, political correctness, representations of Empire and films including Gilda, Papillon and The Night of the Living Dead. Essays new to the second edition discuss Lillian Gish as the ultimate white movie star, the representation of whiteness in the South in Birth of a Nation, and society’s fascination with serial killers. The Matter of Images is distinctive in its commitment to writing politically about contemporary culture, while insisting on the importance of understanding the formal qualities and complexity of the images it investigates.

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?
