I Am a Girl from Africa
"The inspiring journey of a girl from Africa whose near-death experience sparked a dream that changed the world"--
AIDS in Africa
This report presents three hypothetical case studies for how the AIDS epidemic in Africa could evolve over the next 20 years based on policy decisions taken today by African leaders and the rest of the world; and considers the factors likely to drive the future responses of African countries and the international community. The scenarios draw on the age-old tradition of story-telling, rather than using data projections, to explore the wider context of the AIDS epidemic, reflecting the complexity of the subject matter.

Summary of Elizabeth Nyamayaro's I Am a Girl from Africa
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was eight years old when I saw my world change. I lived in a small village in Zimbabwe with my grandmother, who was my gogo. We would gather food from our fields and gardens and share it with our families. #2 For two years, God has refused to answer our prayers. He has left us with Satan’s punishing heat, which is killing everything in its path. We have only the little food from the previous harvest, which is not enough. #3 When Gogo didn’t come home three days ago as she had promised, I felt sad, but I didn’t feel scared. Gogo always goes away to pray for sick ambuyas and sekurus in faraway villages. I told Gogo not to worry about me, because she taught me how to take care of myself. #4 I was so hungry that I was forced to crawl to the Good Forest to find my berries, but when I reached the forest, the berries were gone. I was so hungry that I dreamt that I was spinning surrounded by butterflies, and when I woke up, I was covered in butterflies.

Beyond the Bear
A 25-year-old backcountry wanderer, a man happiest exploring wild places with his dog, Dan Bigley woke up one midsummer morning to a day full of promise. Before it was over, after a stellar day of salmon fishing along Alaska’s Kenai and Russian rivers, a grizzly came tearing around a corner in the trail. Dan barely had time for “bear charging” to register before it had him on the ground, altering his life forever. “Upper nose, eyes, forehead anatomy unrecognizable,” as the medevac report put it. Until then, one thing after another had fallen into place in Dan’s life. He had a job he loved taking troubled kids on outdoor excursions. He had just bought a cabin high in the Chugach M...

Reducing Urban Poverty in the Global South
Urban areas in the Global South now house most of the world’s urban population and are projected to house almost all its increase between now and 2030.

This is the first book to review the effectiveness of different approaches to reducing urban poverty in the Global South. It describes and discusses the different ways in which national and local governments, international agencies and civil society organizations are seeking to reduce urban poverty.

George Washington
A fascinating and illuminating account of how George Washington became the dominant force in the creation of the United States of America, from award-winning author David O. Stewart “An outstanding biography . . . [George Washington] has a narrative drive such a life deserves.”—The Wall Street Journal Washington's rise constitutes one of the greatest self-reinventions in history.

But by his mid-forties, that headstrong, unwise young man had evolved into an unassailable leader chosen as the commander in chief of the fledgling Continental Army. By his mid-fifti...
