But this one was more or less entertaining, so it wasn't a total wash. So, I'm going to have to get a more authoritative book. And then they totally sold it all to the Colombians.oh, and it was the Colombian mafia, and then the cocaine traffickers ended up working with the Miami cops to rip them off, and.oh, but before that, did I tell you about how the Bahamian government was, like, totally corrupt? Anyway, and now some people are in jail and some other people are dead, and it was like totally exciting and cool." "So first, like, there were these cocaine smugglers.no, well, before the smugglers there were a bunch of, like, political events in Bolivia and they ended up with like a ton of coca plants. But in actuality, it reads like the monologue of an adolescent girl recounting her day at school: It's one of those histories that is supposed to read like a gripping novel. I ended up committing the librarianly faux pas of reading through the whole book before checking in the back to make sure it had a real bibliography and would therefore have a good chance of being reliable and well-written. This was one of the many books I've grabbed from the returns truck in the library and brought home without really looking at it closely. I've been trying to learn more about this (mostly) crappy city that I live in now, and the cocaine renaissance of the 70's & 80's seemed like as good a place as any to start. Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide explains what lies behind the conflict, how it came about, why it should not be oversimplified, and why it is so relevant to the future of the continent. Journalistic explanations of the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe have been given to hurried generalizations and inaccuracies: the genocide has been portrayed as an ethnic clash marked by Arab-on-African violence, with the Janjaweed militias under strict government control, but neither of these impressions is strictly true. Its characteristics–Arabism, Islamism, famine as a weapon of war, mass rape, international obfuscation, and a refusal to look evil squarely in the face–reflect many of the problems of the global South in general and of Africa in particular. Secretary of State Colin Powell called the situation in Darfur a "genocide" in September 2004. In sharp contrast to official reaction to the Rwandan massacres, U.S. A formerly obscure ‘tribal conflict’ in the heart of Africa has escalated into the first genocide of the twenty-first century. Arab Janjaweed militias, who support the Khartoum government, have engaged in a campaign of violence against the residents of Western Sudan. In mid-2004 the Darfur crisis in Western Sudan forced itself onto the center stage of world affairs. It would have been better if he had witnessed the account of the Korean soldier’s cell after the war, or if he had spoken with one of the Japanese colonels, or been witness to what happened to them. By shifting from one pov to another this weakens the believability of the main character, Dorrigo. The latter, I think, points out one of the weaknesses of the book: that you are expected to live in the head of various characters, including two Japanese generals, Dorrigo’s lover Amy, a Korean soldier serving in the Japanese army, and various others, whilst his own story unfolds. I am aware that The Narrow Road to the Deep North has had mixed reviews, with some awarding it a 5* out of 5 (see for example the Guardian and Daily Telegraph reviews) whilst another review by Michael Hofmann in the LRB of 18 th December 2014 gives a devastating put down: ‘ In construction, the book is the half-hearted retrospective of a dying old man (the life flashing before the eyes – think of something like Hermann Broch’s Death of Virgil) that forsakes it tether for the more leisurely freedom of an impersonal series of chronological flashbacks only to leave that in turn for an account of other characters in their own personal circumstances, in Australia, in Japan, in Korea, of which Dorrigo Evans can have known little or nothing at all.’ Cella believes it is her mission to make the uptight Crush chill out and relax while Crush believes Cella is certifiably insane and needs to be committed with no hope for release. Cella needs family, noise, and controversy. Crush needs nothing more than his foster dog, some fat to chew on, and a quiet home. When Cella and Crush meet, the sparks fly in a shower of snorting and laughing. She, along with other shadow shifter groups, have been pulled into a mass joint effort to help find these human hunters and shut them down. Cella, a feline shifter, is a contractor for the KMZ, and plays enforcer for the Carnivores hockey team. Partnering up with Dez McDermont ( The Mane Event ) and Dee Ann Smith ( Big Bad Beast) brings him to the attention of Marcella Malone. He is sent to The Group in order to investigate a group of humans who are hunting and killing shifters. In here we meet polar bear undercover detective Lou (Crush) Crushek and feline hockey enforcer and contract killer, Marcella “Bare Knuckles” (Cella) Malone.Ĭrush is an easy going laid back polar bear shifter who is transferred when his cover is blown.

A love story, a tension-filled crime story, and a beautifully atmospheric portrait of a fascinating time and place, The Paying Guests is Sarah Waters's finest achievement yet. Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize three times, Sarah Waters has earned a reputation as one of our greatest writers of historical fiction, and here she has delivered again. Little do the Wrays know just how profoundly their new tenants will alter the course of Frances's life - or, as passions mount and frustration gathers, how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be.

And in South London, in a genteel Camberwell villa - a large, silent house now bereft of brothers, husband, and even servants - life is about to be transformed as impoverished widow Mrs. Ex-servicemen are disillusioned the out-of-work and the hungry are demanding change. Yergin carefully details how access to oil largely determined the outcome of two world wars, before turning attention to regions of marginal international importance that took center stage during the Cold War. The early chapters show the establishment of the great oil companies and the adaptation of governments and societies to booms and busts, benefits and threats. The book describes the way the relentless advance of technology brought out the best and worst in human nature. Few areas of the earth are excluded from treatment in this vast saga, but even these (Antarctica and Greenland, for instance) are surely touched by oil's effects. The Prize tells the story of how a natural resource, known worldwide from antiquity to possess useful properties, came to dominate the world's economy and steer its political fate as technology made possible the transformation of crude oil into commercial products. The song is principally based on the idea of feeling lost or trapped: you’re in a position where the world seems to have gone crazy, and you feel like you can’t get out of this rut that you’re in. OneRepublic continued to make music for a wider group of devoted fans. “Stop and Stare” ended this uncertainty when it became a successful song, reaching #12 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart on April 5th, 2008. I’m not going to be the one-hit wonder band that’s trying to come back after one song, always playing “Apologize.” We, as a band, were on tour, and we had a conversation and said, if “Stop and Stare” doesn’t connect, we’re done. Would “Apologize” be their first and only success? Ryan Tedder recalled the gravity of the release in an interview with the Huffington Post: This song was OneRepublic’s second big hit, and it marked a crucial, “make it or break it” moment in their history, as recounted in the mini-documentary Don’t Look Down. |a Voyages and travels |v Juvenile fiction. |a Thirteen-year-old fraternal twins Dallas and Florida have grown up in a terrible orphanage but their lives change forever when an eccentric but sweet older couple invites them each on an adventure, beginning in an almost magical place called Ruby Holler. |a "This edition is only available for distribution through the school market"-P.

The body of a teenager is found, emptied of blood, the murder rumored to be part of a ritual killing. Delightful would not normally be the first word that springs to mind when describing a blood-soaked plot.
