Safari in Wildest Africa by Michel and Christine Denis-Huot
Among the sunburned yellow grass of the savannah, two lion cubs play under the indolent gaze of their father, while a short distance away, a pack of hyenas fights over a gazelle carcass. Presenting a realistic, unflinching look at life on the African savannah, this fascinating volume from acclaimed naturalists Christine and Michel Denis-Huot reveals the many faces of this beautiful and challenging habitat. Capturing moments of peaceful harmony and episodes of harsh reality, these exceptional images offer readers a uniquely personal, up-close perspective on life in one of the most intriguing and complex habitats in the world. The Denis-Huots bring to this book the same depth of information and sense of respect and admiration for African wildlife that made their recent publication, Lords of the Savannah, so compelling. With their firsthand knowledge of the African savannah and ability to capture on film moments we would never ordinarily witness, they are uniquely equipped to chronicle the circle of life in a truly wild world. Accompanying hundreds of photographs, the engaging text provides the latest finding on the habits and habitats of the denizens of the savannah, and expresses the authors' fascination with life in wildest Africa.......$38.00

The Trouble With Africa - Why Foreign Aid Isn't Working by Robert Calderisi
It isn't the legacy of the slave trade or colonialism, or the supposed inequities of globalization and world trade, that are to blame for Africa's travails, argues this stimulating contrarian essay. The author insists that Africa's problems are largely of its own making, the product of dictatorial, kleptocratic governments; rampant corruption; economic policies that hobble agriculture, discourage private investment and strangle new businesses with red tape; and a cultural fatalism that inures Africans to misery. Calderisi draws on his experience as a World Bank official in Africa, peppering his analysis with personal anecdotes about Africa's callous, venal officialdom and misguided economic policies. He offers a muted defense of World Bank policies, but also decries Western "political correctness" in indulging Africa's dysfunctions and calls for a new tough-love approach to foreign aid. Assistance to most countries, he contends, should be cut in half and conditioned on thorough democratic reforms and strict oversight by Western donors; responsible governments—he lists Uganda, Ghana, Tanzania, Mozambique and Mali—should get a large increase in aid with few strings attached. Calderisi's focus on Africa's internal faults.............$20.00

Congo Journey by Redmond O'Hanlon
Ostensibly a quest for the Congo dinosaur (whose secret becomes clear), this story of travel
through the jungles and swamp forests of the northern Congo is Tolstoyan in its depth, scope and
range of characters, and as vivid as Nabocov in its image and detail. A portrait of a country, it is
alive with natural history: eagles and parrots, hornbills and sun birds; forest cobras and crocodiles;
gorillas, chimpanzees, monkeys, swamp antelope, forest elephants - and one giant Gambian rat. A
search for the meaning of sorcery, the purpose of religion (and a celebration of the comfort and
mysteries of science), it is also an adventure told with great narrative force. Of course, there is a
darker side to the Congo, and that too, is recorded here....$18.99
Facing the Congo by Jeffrey Tayler
A modern-day journey into the heart of darkness. Filled with honesty and rich description, Facing The Congo is a sophisticated depiction of today's Democratic Republic of Congo, a country brought to its knees by a succession of despotic leaders.

Colour Bar - The Triumph of Seretse Khama and His Nation by Susan Williams
Sir Seretse Khama, the first President of Botswana and heir apparent to the kingship of the Bangwato people, brought independence and great prosperity to his nation after colonial rule. But for six long years from 1950, Seretse had been in enforced exile in England, banned from his own country. His crime? To fall in love and marry a young, white English girl, Ruth. Delving into newly released records, Susan Williams tells Seretse and Ruth's story - a shocking account of how the British Government conspired with apartheid South Africa and Southern Rhodesia to prevent the mixed-race royal couple returning home. But it is also an inspiring, triumphant tale of hope, courage and true love as with tenacity and great dignity Seretse and Ruth and the Bangwato people overcome prejudice in their fight for justice........$20.00

Rainbow’s End farm was a heavenly garden soaked in blood, or a fool’s paradise, depending on how you looked at it.’ This searingly honest memoir describes growing up on an African farm during the ‘Rhodesian Bush War’ and the twilight years of white colonialism in the 1970s. It also explores the shock yet euphoria of Zimbabwean independence in the 1980s as St John navigates her way through the immense personal and political changes. The abundance and beauty of Africa and its people as well as childhood innocence are superbly contrasted with the insidiousness of racism, war and nationalist propaganda to create an unforgettable read – eloquent, affecting and utterly spellbinding. ....$18.00
