We Love Hot Coffee
"In southwest Ethiopia during the time when the author Caroline Kurtz was growing up there, coffee grew wild in the forests of what was then Kaffa Province, which might well be where coffee originated! Coffee still grows wild there, but now it's also being cultivated in shade plantations within the area's forests. Hopefully, shade-grown coffee, as a cash crop, will help preserve some of the Southern Forest Block of Ethiopia. All over the country, Ethiopians naturally feel proud of their indigenous plant, now loved around the world, and they have developed an elaborate coffee ceremony as well as numerous proverbs about coffee."--Amazon.com.

Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)

Catching the Sun
"Many rural Ethiopian homes rely on fires for light and heat when the sun goes down, which causes bothersome smoke and requires large quantities of firewood. Gathering firewood for home fires takes a heavy toll on Ethiopian women and forests alike. Author Caroline Kurtz grew up in Maji, Ethiopia, where women delivered babies by flashlight before she arranged for a solar light to illuminate the delivery room. Next she turned her efforts to the homes of Maji, which lies 80 miles beyond the national power grid. With the help of friends she began a nonprofit, Maji Development Coalition, which is installing solar powered lights in households in this gorgeous part of Ethiopia. Now children do their homework by the bright light of solar-powered electricity and their homes are filled with smoke-free air. Illustrated with beautifully detailed watercolor landscapes by Luz Adriana Montes de Oca."--Amazon.com.

This geographical narrative proliferated in fictional and nonfictional texts alike, and it was born not from fanciful speculation but from British interpretations of what Africans said and showed about themselves and their worlds. Investigations of the representation of Africa in British texts have typically concluded that the continent operated in the British imagination as a completely invented space with no meaningful connection t...
