Excerpt from The Mobile Boer: Being the Record of the Observations of Two Burgher Officers: It is our intention in these pages to deal with the Boer-English war and the events which actually transpired as we had opportunity to see them. The fact of our being in the Republican forces,-bom foreigners - the tone of the descriptions of stirring incidents, and the citation of injustice and cruelty must exempt us from the reproach of prejudice. The right of the Boer cause we can leave in the hands of such exponents as State Secretary Reitz,* Charles Bois Sevan, Dr. Van der Vlugt, and foreigners such as Mr. W. T. Stead with his Stop the War publications." This is a narrative of the campaign compiled by American officers serving in the Republican army. The author's draw comparisons between the Anglo-Boer conflict and the American War of Independence, accusing the British of conducting the present war in the same barbarous manner employed in the earlier campaign" More
New York: William Morrow (An Imprint of HarperCollins Publishers), 2007. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. viii, [2], 337, [5] pages. Illustrations. Signed by both authors on the half-title page. Some pages off-white. Includes Preface. Now, in their heartfelt memoir, Ginger Mauney and Sara James alternately narrate the story of how, they, two women separated by thousands of miles, have found themselves bound together through temperament, circumstance, and serendipity. The Best of Friends uses the example of their lives to explore such universal questions as: When your heart is broken, how do you heal? How do you realize your dreams without compromising yourself? How do you tame ambition to make room for love and family? And what does it mean as an adult to be a "best" friend? This is also the story of so many women in their twenties, thirties, and forties who, with the help of friends, dared to reinvent their lives just when it seemed that everything was falling apart. Sara and Ginger have a friendship that so many modern women can understand--complicated and simple at the same time. Women who in many ways are opposites, yet have a powerful connection that can only be called "sisterhood." Sara James is an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and author. Sara has covered news events in Australasia for NBC, CNN and PBS. Sara covered the 2012 tour of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge to Singapore, Malaysia and the Solomon Islands. She reported on the 2011 earthquake in Christchurch and the 2009 bush fires in Victoria. She served as substitute newsreader on the NBC Today Show, was a frequent co-anchor of Weekend Today and often anchored MSNBC. More

Therefore, that is the focus of this book. More
Lexington, KY: The University Press of Kentucky, 1990. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. viii, 211, [5] pages. Tables. Figures. Notes. Index. DJ has edge wear, tears, chips, and soiling. With the oversupply of oil on world markets and the fall in international oil prices from $32-41 per barrel in 1980 to mid-1989 levels of $15-20 per barrel, the international energy crisis that followed the 1973 Arab-Israeli war appears to have passed. The world has shifted from devising strategies of crisis management to strategies—albeit rapidly fading—for avoiding similar crises in the future. Such were the lessons learned from the sustained energy crisis of the 1970s, which severely affected both the industrialized and developing countries for almost a decade. In the aftermath of the oil shocks of the 1970s, the world nexus among energy, economy, and security is indisputable. The oil crisis elicited a stream of scholarship addressing the implications, with attention focused on the United States and its OECD allies. To the extent that Lesser Developed Countries and newly industrializing nations were examined, they usually appeared in aggregate data rather than as case studies. The chapters have reviewed a unique conglomeration of such nations: India, Pakistan, South Korea, Taiwan, Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, and South Africa. More
New York: The Penguin Press, 2012. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [10], 421, [1] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Pencil underlining and marks noted. Includes Authors' Note, Prologue, Appendix: How the AIDS Epidemic Can Be Overcome, Acknowledgments, Notes, References to the Appendix; Additional Suggested Readings; and Index. Drawing on remarkable new science, this book tells the story of how Western colonial powers unwittingly sparked the AIDS epidemic and then fanned its rise. Drawing on remarkable new science, Tinderbox overturns the conventional wisdom on the origins of the deadly AIDS epidemic, and the best ways to fight it today. Recent genetic discoveries have traced the birth of HIV to the forbidding equatorial forests of Cameroon, where chimpanzees carried a nearly identical virus for illennia without causing a major outbreak in humans. During the Scramble for Africa near the turn of the twentieth century, colonial companies blazed new routes through the jungle in search of rubber and other riches, sending African porters into remote regions rarely traveled before. It was here, during the age of European conquest, that humans first contracted the strain of HIV that would eventually cause 99 percent of AIDS deaths around the world. This book is an indictment of Western ineptitude and meddling and lost opportunities to prevent millions of infections and deaths. But it also contains valuable prescriptions for making change--and it's an important read for anyone who cares about Africa. More
New York: Doubleday, 1994. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. xxii, 281, [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Bookplate signed by the author (Desmond Tutu). Foreword by Nelson Mandela. Archbishop Desmond Tutu is the dedicated spokesman for the anti-apartheid movement; John Allen is a journalist who became the archbishop's media secretary. Letters, sermons, and other moving documents written by the Nobel Prize-winning Archbishop of Capetown--together with connecting narrative by journalist John Allen--provide a firsthand history of his long, courageous leadership of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement. This chronologically arranged collection of speeches, writings, and letters by Nobelist Desmond Tutu, Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, offers some gripping primary source material from the battle against apartheid. In the first selection of the volume, a letter dated May 6, 1976, Tutu, then dean of St. Mary's Cathedral in Johannesburg, asks Prime Minister John Vorster, ``How long can a people, do you think, bear such blatant injustice and suffering?'' The book ends with a prayer given by Tutu at Nelson Mandela's inauguration as the South African president on May 10, 1994. What emerges is a documentary history (albeit in only one voice) of the protracted death of apartheid and an affirmation of nonracial democracy by a man whose political acts are emphatically motivated by his Christian faith. John Allen is a writer and editor . He worked for Archbishop Tutu for 13 years, as his press secretary, then as communications director of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and finally in Tutu’s office at Emory University in Atlanta.
