Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Verity White is forced to relinquish her hard-won position as a magazine editor after her husband James loses his airline job in the bitter Australian Pilots' Dispute, she reluctantly follows him to the dusty frontier town of Maun, gateway to Botswana's breathtaking Okavango Delta. As James reconnects with his childhood roots as a bush pilot, flying tourists between luxury safari lodges, Verity feels adrift and disconnected. Desperate for purpose, she accepts a job as a safari hostess to the charismatic hunter, Starky Willis. Yet, as Verity immerses herself in the untamed beauty of the African bush on a ten-day overland safari, she becomes entangled in a web of long-buried secrets and simmering tensions. At its core lies the mysterious death of James's cousin on a hunting expedition fifteen years prior—an ill-fated venture led by the very man now employing Verity. The harsh beauty of the Kalahari might fool some, but deadly secrets lie hidden, and danger lurks as Verity and James are drawn into a perilous world of poaching, corruption, and murder. "Whispers in the Kalahari" is a standalone romantic suspense that blends the sweeping romance of "Out of Africa" with the heart-pounding tension of "The Constant Gardener." For fans of Beverley Harper, T. M. Clark, and Samantha Ford who love second-chance love stories set against breathtaking African landscapes, dangerous secrets, and edge-of-your-seat thrills.

Download or read book The Kalahari Killings written by Jonathan Laverick and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 4 October 1943, two trainee RAF pilots, Walter Adamson and Gordon Edwards, took off from Kumalo in Zimbabwe. Some time later they were forced to land in Botswana. They climbed out unscathed, left a note, and disappeared. What happened next would entail ethno-archaeological investigation, a sensational murder trial with worldwide media coverage – and an astonishing outcome – that led to a profound change in the lives of the Tyua Bush people. The airmen had been murdered by bullet and axe – but why? Twai Twai Molele, the leader of the group of eight killers charged, was known to be a witchdoctor and a bottle allegedly containing human fat was found in his possession ... Following the trial the Tyuas' guns were confiscated and their ageless, nomadic hunting life began to die out. The murders offered an excuse for British-protected cattle farmers to remove them from their lands. Reopening this extraordinary case, Jonathan Laverick reviews the evidence to uncover the true story.

Book excerpt: Written in Water: Messages of Hope for Earth's Most Precious Resource comprises a collection of essays authored by heroes and leaders in the field of water solutions and innovations—a broad range of people from varied disciplines who have contributed their hearts and minds to bringing awareness to and conserving Earth’s freshwater supply. In their own words, authors tell of such tragedies as water slavery, drought, or contamination, as well as their own professional struggles and successes in pursuit of freshwater solutions. Contributors include: Alexandra Cousteau, social environmental advocate and granddaughter of legendary marine scientist Jacques Cousteau; Peter Gleick, environmental visionary and winner of a 2003 MacArthur "genius grant"; Bill McKibben, bestselling author and winner of a Guggenheim fellowship; Sylvia Earle, oceanographer and Time magazine’s first "hero for the planet"; and Christine Todd Whitman, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency, along with more than a dozen other notable people. These visionaries’ stories touch, surprise, and amaze as they help us see the essential role played by water in our world, our lives, and our future. These are all people who are thinking far beyond the realm of self; they are devoted to creating a better world for all of us.

Download or read book Heart of Dryness written by James G. Workman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We don't govern water. Water governs us," writes James Workman. In Heart of Dryness, he chronicles the memorable, cautionary tale of the famed Bushmen of the Kalahari--remnants of one of the world's most successful civilizations, today at the exact epicenter of Africa's drought--and their remarkable, widely publicized battle over water with the government of Botswana, to explore the larger story of what many feel is becoming the primary resource battleground of the 21st century: water. The Bushmen's story may well prefigure our own. Even the most upbeat optimists concede the U.S. now faces an unprecedented water crisis. Large dams on the Colorado River, which serve 30 million in 7 states, will be dry in 13 years. Southeast drought cut Tennessee Valley Authority hydropower in half, exposed Lake Okeechobee's floor, dried $787 million of Georgia's crops, and left Atlanta with 60 days of water. Cities east and west are drying up. As reservoirs and aquifers fail, officials ration water, neighbors snitch on one another, corporations move in, and states fight states to control shared rivers. Each year, inadequate water kills more humans than AIDS, malaria, and all wars combined. Global leaders pray for rain. Bushmen tap more pragmatic solutions. James Workman illuminates the present and coming tensions we will all face over water and shows how, from the remoteness of the Kalahari, a primitive (by our standards) people is showing the world a viable path through the encroaching desert of the coming Dry Age.

Sam Hogue was the youngest Assistant Director in the history of the C.I.A. and he had just been handed the job of stopping an assassination attempt against the President. He knew was this was not a group of loose knit amateurs but professionals, well funded and better connected politically than he was. As you read this story you will see how time and fate twist these two very different men together. Drew refuses to work for the C.I.A. until Sam reaches into his bag of "Dirty Tricks" and forces the issue. When Drew decides to use his calling as a prophet to save the life of the President, his heart starts pumping red white and blue and not even Sam was ready for what Drew would see!

Some of the early edits were done by government employees and retired military officers and they were shaken by the elements of truth found within the pages. I will let you decide what is fiction and what is not.
