Adventure writer Richard Grant takes on ”the most American place on Earth” the enigmatic, beautiful, often derided Mississippi Delta. Richard Grant & his girlfriend were living in a shoebox apartment in New York City when they decided on a whim to buy an old plantation house in the Mississippi Delta. This is their journey of discovery into this strange & wonderful American place. Imagine A Year In Provence with alligators & assassins, or Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil with hunting scenes & swamp-to-table dining. On a remote, isolated strip of l&, three miles beyond the tiny community of Pluto, Richard & his girlfriend, Mariah, embark on a new life. They learn to hunt, grow their own food, & fend off alligators, snakes, & varmints galore. They befriend an array of unforgettable local characters, blues legend T-Model Ford, cookbook maven Martha Foose, catfish farmers, eccentric millionaires, & the actor Morgan Freeman. Grant brings an adept, empathetic eye to the fascinating people he meets, capturing the rich, extraordinary culture of the Delta, while tracking its utterly bizarre & criminal extremes. Reporting from all angles as only an outsider can, Grant also delves deeply into the Delta`s lingering racial tensions. He finds that de facto segregation continues.

It`s lively, entertaining, & funny, containing a travel writer`s flair for in-depth reporting alongside insightful reflections on poverty, community, & race.

Mississippi, Grant concludes, is the best-kept secret in America. ...

Where can you buy 913 Kalashnikovs? How do you tell a friend her expat love is never coming back? What`s it like to date a mercenary? In 2007, Canadian journalist Heidi Kingstone arrived in Kabul, eager to uncover the mysteries & shadows of one turbulent corner of the world. Over the next four years, she encountered idealists & chancers, gunrunners & warlords. She interviewed generals & partied with powerbrokers & fashionistas. A passionate advocate for women`s rights, she witnessed women as heroes, as victims, as freeloaders, as rivals. Heidi`s account of the last years of ISAF-controlled Kabul is vividly atmospheric, deeply personal & at times shockingly painful. From air bases to brothels, she tells of disastrous development programs & hopeful couplings against the backdrop of our longest war. But as her friends fall victim to ambush, kidnap & suicide bombing, no amount of booze & adrenalin can soften the devastating realities of NATO`s new Afghanistan. ” This wonderful cocktail of images & impressions is far more than the sum of its parts. For it offers a deep draught of the awful excitement of living on the edge of somebody else`s war. An experience that no Westerner in Afghanistan would want to have missed, or to repeat.” Sherard Cowper-Coles, former British ambassador to Afghanistan. ” Heidi is sharp, funny, utterly irreverent, often poignant & always entertaining” Kate Fox, author of Watching the English ...

Slavery is illegal throughout the world, yet more than twenty-seven million people are still trapped in one of history's oldest social institutions. Kevin Bales' disturbing story of slavery today reaches from brick kilns in Pakistan & brothels in Thailand to the offices of multinational corporations. His investigation of conditions in Mauritania, Brazil, Thail&, Pakistan, & India reveals the tragic emergence of a new slavery, one intricately linked to the global economy. The new slaves are not a long-term investment as was true with older forms of slavery, explains Bales. Instead, they are cheap, require little care, & are disposable. Three interrelated factors have helped create the new slavery. The enormous population explosion over the past three decades has flooded the world's labor markets with millions of impoverished, desperate people. The revolution of economic globalization & modernized agriculture has dispossessed poor farmers, making them & their families ready targets for enslavement. & rapid economic change in developing countries has bred corruption & violence, destroying social rules that might once have protected the most vulnerable individuals. Bales' vivid case studies present actual slaves, slaveholders, & public officials in well-drawn historical, geographical, & cultural contexts. He observes the complex economic relationships of modern slavery & is aware that liberation is a bitter victory for a child prostitute or a bondaged miner if the result is starvation. Bales offers suggestions for combating the new slavery & provides examples of very positive results from organizations such as Anti-Slavery International, the Pastoral Land Commission in Brazil, & the Human Rights Commission in Pakistan. He also calls for researchers to follow the flow of raw materials & products from slave to marketplace in order to effectively target campaigns of naming & shaming corporations linked to slavery. Disposable People is the first book to point the way to abolishing slavery in today's global economy. ...
