Download or read book Beyond the Malachite Hills written by Jonathan Lawley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What hope is there for Africa? Since the heady and hopeful days of decolonisation the story seems to be one of unrelenting disaster - revolution; brutal military dictatorship; ethnic conflict - even genocide; civil war; state-threatening corruption; economic failure; and, in places, the complete breakdown of state and society. And all has been compounded by natural disasters - drought, famine and the scourge of AIDS. But there is another, less reported, story of Africa: throwing off the colonial past, embracing modernity, learning fast, gaining in pride and self-confidence and embracing the crucial management function; all this in the context of fruitful collaboration with Europe and American business and, increasingly, with the rising Asian economic superpowers. Jonathan Lawley's Beyond the Malachite Hills paints a vivid and convincing picture of solid political, social and economic progress. He is in a unique position to tell this story. After a 'colonial' childhood in India under the Raj and in white-dominated Southern Rhodesia, followed by school and university in apartheid South Africa, he rejected racialism and white minority rule. He joined the British Colonial Service and served as a District Officer in Northern Rhodesia in the years running up to decolonisation, and stayed on in Zambia after independence. Jonathan Lawley's business career reflected and contributed to African economic advancement, firmly rooted in a rejection of racialism even in its heartland of big, European-dominated, business. He applied his business ideals in pursuing indigenous technical and business training in copper mining in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), followed by assignments in Morocco and Mauritius. A brief interlude and a return to African politics came when he helped to supervise the elections following the Lancaster House Agreement which brought Robert Mugabe to power in Zimbabwe. But his most lasting contribution to Africa came with the mining giant Rio Tinto, and his ground-breaking scheme for training indigenous technical managers. These rose to the highest positions and broke the mould of European managerial and technical dominance. His promotion of African business continued in his role as Africa Director of the British Executive Service Overseas (BESO) and as Director of the Royal African Society and consultant to the West African Business Association (WABA) and the Southern African Business Forum (SABF). Beyond the Malachite Hills is a remarkable testament to his long-lasting and profound involvement with this often misunderstood continent.

This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 3910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'ALLAN QUATERMAIN Complete Series: 18 Adventure Books in One Volume', Henry Rider Haggard showcases his mastery of adventure literature through the thrilling escapades of the legendary hunter and explorer, Allan Quatermain. Set against the backdrop of Africa's untamed wilderness, Haggard's vivid descriptions and fast-paced narrative transport the readers to a world filled with danger, excitement, and treasure hunts. The series delves into themes of colonialism, masculinity, and the clash of civilizations, making it a significant contribution to the adventure genre. Henry Rider Haggard's own experiences in Africa and his fascination with exploration and archaeology undoubtedly influenced the creation of the character Allan Quatermain. Haggard's background as a British writer during the Victorian era also adds depth to his portrayal of the challenges faced by his protagonist in the rugged African terrain. I highly recommend 'ALLAN QUATERMAIN Complete Series' to readers who enjoy action-packed adventures, rich descriptions of exotic locales, and a protagonist who embodies the ethos of a courageous and rugged explorer.

Book excerpt: Two Jewish sister leave Austria during WWII/Holocaust and find refuge in Sweden. It's the summer of 1939. Two Jewish sisters from Vienna—12-year-old Stephie Steiner and seven-year-old Nellie—are sent to Sweden to escape the Nazis. They expect to stay there six months, until their parents can flee to Amsterdam; then all four will go to America. But as the world war intensifies, the girls remain, each with her own host family, on a rugged island off the western coast of Sweden. Nellie quickly settles in to her new surroundings. Not so for Stephie, who finds it hard to adapt; she feels stranded at the end of the world, with a foster mother who's as unforgiving as the island itself. It's no wonder Stephie doesn't let on that the most popular girl at school becomes her bitter enemy, or that she endures the wounding slights of certain villagers. Her main worry, though, is her parents—and whether she will ever see them again.
