Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixteen short stories in this anthology reflect some of the most pressing global issues of concern today. These stories have been carefully chosen to represent as many geographical regions of the world as possible. They address such concerns as: political leadership and politics of integration; terrorism and youth radicalisation; domestic violence, racial relations, sexuality and gender, the environment and environmental sustainability, religion and culture and globalisation. Some of the stories also give a social commentary on such aspects of life as family and social relationships. The stories are drawn from a diverse cadre of writers. There are stories from experienced and celebrated writers, others from upcoming writers and some from a new crop of writers. There are young as well not-so-young contributors. This gives the anthology both wealth in terms of style of writing and diversity of viewpoints and perspectives. A read through this anthology is like a walk across geopolitical borders, a peek into the varied cultures of the world and a dialogue with members of di erent generations, all culminating into one major realisation: we are one and we need each other. It is an enthralling read.

Book excerpt: The Warm Heart of Africa, fifty years in the making, is the story of Susan, one of the first Peace Corps Volunteers. It is also the story of Peter, a ninety-two year old African who became her salvation. She meets him soon after attempting to quit the Peace Corps...but failing. Peter is at first reticent to talk of his past, for fear of opening old wounds. With time, he learns to trust and slowly shares his stories with Susan, beginning with, "My father was the first man to see Livingstone and he almost killed him!" Later he tells her how Yao slave traders invaded his village when he was six, burning houses and killing the very old, the very young and the weak - those who would not endure the cruel march to the Indian Ocean. He recalls the bitter memory of a slaver dragging his mother from his grasp to be sold for a sultan's harem, never to be seen again. He then shares with Susan how he and his father were auctioned at the slave market of Zanzibar and crammed into an Arab dhow sailing to Yemen, to be sold once again, his only consolation being that his father was still with him. Two days in, a frigate fired a shot across the bow and Arabs began throwing their cargo into the sea in the grim hope of out sailing the frigate. Peter, too small to be of notice, watched in hiding as an ugly Arab hurled his father into the sea. Then a cannon shot from the frigate demasted the dhow, hurling him into the sea. Unable to swim, he survived by clutching the splintered mast until he was plucked from the sea by men in blue coat who brought him back to their frigate where he took his first step in his twenty-one years in the service of the Queen. As major domo to a young officer, Horace Smith-Dorrien, he would come to see battle against Zulus, Afridis, Pathans, Boers and Sepoys, before returning home to start a life in the service of God, a story he slowly and painfully shares with Susan, like him, a stranger in a strange land. The author met Peter and was Susan.

Book excerpt: The moment came when I was sitting in front of my computer on a chilly October morning. The leaves were gathering in increasingly larger piles on the ground, and everywhere you looked it was painfully obvious that winter was about to be pounding on the door. I pulled up my calendar for the months ahead and imagined it packed with more than just the routine complaining about the cold. For years, I’d been saying that what I really wanted to do was travel the world with a pack on my back and a camera in my hands. Since the day I was given my first camera, I had said again and again that one day I’d be a National Geographic photographer, exploring the hidden wonders of the world, coming back with emotionally evocative and inspiring imagery. So what was stopping me? Was it the fact that no one had approached me and offered me the golden ticket, a position on an awesome and life changing project? Maybe it was just scary to begin a project of that magnitude of my own and see it through to the end. That morning, I decided that I was done waiting, done thinking about the when, or the what if. It was time to put plans into motion. With the help of friends, family, and more than a few strangers, my first Kickstarter campaign, ‘The Warm Heart of Africa’ exceeded its goal just before Christmas and suddenly anything seemed possible. This book is the end result of that project. It is for all those who helped me along the way, who supported and encouraged me to pursue what I wanted most. This book is the first of many, and I couldn’t have done it without that support.

Book excerpt: When Jack Allison joined the Peace Corps in 1967, he never intended to write the number one hit song in Malawi or be described by Newsweek as more popular than Malawi's own president. A poor Southern white boy with a deep love of music, Jack only wanted an answer to one burning question: Should he become a minister or a doctor? In the end, the answer Jack found was that he would choose medicine as a career. And, living in extreme circumstances in the world's then-poorest country, he would find even more-that he had the inner resources that allowed him to not only thrive but give the best of what he had to those who needed it the most.
