1 review

Island Press, 2000

Hope in multi-stakeholder conflict
This book showcases how people can work to come to collaborative agreements over natural resource issues - if they get tired enough of fighting. Set in the West over the battle for water, stakeholders ended lawsuits and tried to reach win-win situations on their own. They succeeded in several instances, no small miracle.

A Time of Renewal: Clusters of Characters, C.P. Snow and Coups
Philip Snow

I. B. Tauris, 1998

The author's departure from his beloved Fijian Service to become Bursar of Rugby School was heart-rending for him.

Philip himself was a character in three of his brother's novels and as his brother's reputation grew (not only as a novelist but also as a minister in Harold Wilson's government and later, in the House of Lords) new ...

Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1988

China On the Move - Again
From the cover (mostly): 75 years before Columbus crossed the Atlantic, a fleet of Chinese treasure ships came to the East African coast. The scale of this landfall was so colossal that it makes the Genoese explorer look like an amateur. The fleet was called the Star Raft, and its arrival marked the beginning of formal contacts between China and Africa. For Snow the Star Raft is also a ...
