Book excerpt: An unplanned visit to South Africa's Kruger National Park changed Sharon Pincott's life as she knew it. She was a high-flying Information Technology specialist Down Under, but now she dreamed of working with Africa's wildlife. Eventually, she abandoned her life of privilege and luxury and moved to Zimbabwe - a country in turmoil - to live and work among elephants on land bordering Hwange National Park. It was a startling contrast to her former life. In time, Sharon formed extraordinary relationships with wild elephants, having learned to know them intimately. She treasured escapades with friends, both human and animal, in spectacular remote places. But, as she soon discovered first-hand, the beauty and wonder of wild Zimbabwe had a dark foreboding side. Snaring of wildlife was rife, and when land invaders claimed the area where Sharon's elephant friends roamed, she went into battle for their land and their lives - while fighting for her own wellbeing, in her homeland of choice.

Book excerpt: Ghost. Ape. Living dead. Young and albino, Chipo has been called many things, but to her mother – Zimbabwe’s most loyal Manchester United supporter – she had always been a gift. On the eve of the World Cup, Chipo and her brother flee to Cape Town, hoping for a better life and to share in the excitement of the greatest sporting event ever to take place in Africa. But the Mother City’s infamous Long Street is a dangerous place for an illegal immigrant and an albino. Soon Chipo is caught up in a get-rich-quick scheme organised by her brother and the terrifying Dr Ongani. Exploiting gamblers’ superstitions about albinism, they plan to make money and get out of the city before rumours of looming xenophobic attacks become a reality. But their scheming has devastating consequences. Set in the underbelly of a pulsating Cape Town, Meg Vandermerwe’s Zebra Crossing is an arresting debut and a bold, lyrical imagining of what it’s like to live in another person’s skin.

Artfully combining hard facts and statistics with opinion and observation, Tharoor discusses the strengths and weaknesses of his rapidly evolving homeland in five areas—politics, economics, culture, society, and sports—and takes a fresh look at the world’s oldest civilizations and most populous countries.
Download or read book Elephant Dance written by Tammie Matson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the middle of the night in the Namibian desert when zoologist Tammie Matson wakes with a start to find two elephants standing beside her tiny tent. She makes a promise: "If you just let me survive tonight I will give up Africa. I'll give it all up. Just don't let them stand on me." It's not a promise she will easily keep. At 29, Tammie has spent nearly half her life in Africa, her first love, working as a conservationist. But as her 30s approach, Tammie is conscious of not having ticked those boxes: no house, no kids and no husband. Broke and with her visa running out, it seems like Africa may just force her to give it up after all. On returning to Australia, Tammie lands a job at the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Sydney. There she meets Andy, a charismatic Brit, and Africa suddenly has a rival. But she's not ready to give up on the elephants yet... From the magic of Bushmanland, to the banks of Chobe River in Botswana, to the civil strife of Assam, India, Elephant Dance takes us to the heart of a conservationist's fight to find a way for elephants to live peacefully in a world with too many people, too few resources and the increasing threat of climate change. Passionate, funny, and moving, Elephant Dance is also a classic story of self-discovery, love, and the courage it takes to follow your calling, especially when it takes you places you least expected.
Download or read book Re-Start written by Suresh G and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ''The world was always a beautiful place to live in.'' This saying is speculated by the lives other than that of the humans. A thought about the world being turned into a materialistic one created solely for the benefit of humans alone, for them to love, live and perish in glory. Every country, city, culture, or kingdom, in their pinnacle of decadence, there emerges a factor that wipes out all that was affected, in due course, the factor in itself and paves way for the good, kind and the righteous to take over the future. Similarly, a situation arises when the other lives realize that the world has to be reinstated and there could be a fresh start in order to establish a free and happier world for everyone. The book is a work of fantasy fiction, from the eyes of the lives other than the humans, depicting decadence and the rise of a noble kingdom that served well to all.

Book Synopsis The Elephant Has Two Sets of Teeth by : Alice Neikirk
Download or read book The Elephant Has Two Sets of Teeth written by Alice Neikirk and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ethnography follows Bhutanese refugees who fled Bhutan, resided in camps in Nepal, and finally settled in the vastly different culture of Australia. Along the way, they learn the ways that humanitarian compassion is used to oppress, contain, and erode human rights. They also learn, however, that this charitable framework has small cracks that allow for action. The Bhutanese find ways to move between the contradictory expectations of refugee-ness as they strive to become citizens. Their experiences illustrate the complex strands of power that intertwine to limit the scope of people who "deserve compassion." Neikirk also describes how responses to refugee crises have shifted from facilitating the movement of people to enforcing their containment. Readers in refugee studies, anthropology, and development studies will be interested in this rich transnational study.

Through the people we meet, she says, we have the opportunity to create an incredible array of experiences and to craft an inspired life. In this candid confessional, she ruminates on aspects of her personality, important relationships, powerful stances shes taken and falls she has survived. Within each story is a lesson, a laugh or a thought-provoking moment. These are her memoirs, told in story and verse.
