- An epic journey to save and improve lives -Driven by his passion for exploration and a sincere love of Africa, intrepid modern-day adventurer Kingsley Holgate and his family set off on an epic 64 327-kilometre journey around the circumference of the continent. Their 33-country expedition takes them over jagged mountains, through dense jungles, across raging rivers and along rutted roads into hostile terrain. En route they face not only the caprice of nature, belligerent warlords and the tedium of border-crossing routines, but they also encounter the real face of Africa: humble gratitude, modest generosity and the affable goodwill that embraces travelers here, whatever their colour or creed. But more than a thirst for adventure guides the course of this party — theirs is a grassroots struggle against a disease that claims countless lives each year. Under the banner of One Net One Life, Kingsley and his helpers distribute nearly a quarter million mosquito nets to pregnant women and mothers with small children. They also dispense spectacles to the poor-sighted and promote literacy by donating mobile libraries, colouring-in books and pens to jubilant youngsters in rural communities.Price: 480.00Edition: First editionPublished: 2009Publishers: Struik Travel & HeritageISBN: 9781770075047Condition: Softcover in near-pristine condition.

The old pathologies of anti-Semitism, populist nationalism, and territorial aggression are threatening to tear the European postwar consensus apart. In riveting dispatches from this unfolding tragedy, James Kirchick shows us the shallow disingenuousness of the leaders who pushed for "Brexit;" examines how a vast migrant wave is exacerbating tensions between Europeans and their Muslim minorities; explores the rising anti-Semitism that causes Jewish schools and synagogues in France and Germany to resemble armed bunkers; and describes how Russian imperial ambitions are destabilizing nations from Estonia to Ukraine. With President Trump now threatening to abandon America's traditional role as upholder of the liberal world order and guarantor of the continent's security, Europe may be alone in dealing with these unprecedented challenges. Based on extensive firsthand reporting, this book is a provocative, disturbing look at a continent in unexpected crisis.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 24 hours In this groundbreaking battery of dispatches from the heartland of America, Matt Taibbi tells the full story of the Trump phenomenon, from its tragi-comic beginnings to the apocalyptic election. Full of sharp, on-the-ground reporting and gallows humour, his incisive analysis goes beyond the bizarre and disturbing election to tell a wider story of the apparent collapse of American democracy. Taibbi saw the essential themes right from the start: the power of spectacle over truth; the end of a shared reality on the left and right; the nihilistic rebellion of the white working class; the death of the political establishment; and the emergence of a new, explicit form of white nationalism. From the thwarted Bernie Sanders insurgency to the aimless Hillary Clinton campaign, across the flailing media coverage and the trampled legacy of Obama, this is the story of ordinary voters forced to bear witness to the whole charade. At the centre of it all, "a bumbling train wreck of a candidate who belched and preened his way past a historically weak field" who, improbably, has taken control of the world's most powerful nation. This is essential and hilarious reading that explores how the new America understands itself, and about the future of the world just beyond the horizon.
