Political Corruption in Comparative Perspective

Gold
"From the lost empires of the Sahara to today's frenzied global gold rush, a blazing exploration of the human love affair with gold by the award-winning author of Diamond.

Beginning with a page-turning dispatch from the crime-ridden, dan...

A Matter of Honour examines the shifting social, ...
