Emily Joy puts on her rose-tinted specs, leaves behind her comfortable middle class life as a doctor in York & heads off for two years voluntary work at a remote hospital in Sierra Leone. Emily finds the prospect of life in a rural African village less than enticing. There is no equipment, no water, no electricity &, worst of all, no chocolate to treat her nasty case of unrequited love. Despite this, the Sierra Leoneans she meets (who, after all, have far worse problems to think about) inspire her with their courage & vivacity. Dr Em`s poignant & often hilarious adventures show us how fulfilling volunteering can be. ...

From inside a surreal bubble of pure Americana known as the Green Zone, the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority attempted to rule Iraq following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. Drawing on interviews & internal documents, Rajiv Chandrasekaran tells the memorable story of this ill-prepared attempt to build American democracy in a war-torn Middle Eastern country, detailing not only the risky disbanding of the Iraqi army & the ludicrous attempt to train the new police force, but absurdities such as the aide who based Baghdad's new traffic laws on those of the state of Maryl&, downloaded from the net, & the twenty-four-year-old who had never worked in finance put in charge of revitalising Baghdad's stock exchange. Imperial Life in the Emerald City is American reportage at its best. ...

These three parishes remained in rural seclusion until the industrial & suburban developments of the 20th century. The text illustrates how, despite the links between them, the areas each assumed a different character. We see how the coming of the Grand Junction Canal intensified brick-making. In later years the parishes became well known for large manufacturing companies, such as Hoover, Glaxo, Aladdin & IBM. ...

Greene On Capri

When friends die, one`s own credentials change: one becomes a survivor. Graham Greene has already had biographers, one of whom has served him mightily. Yet I hope that there is room for the remembrance of a friend who knew him - not wisely, perhaps, but fairly well - on an island that was ”not his kind of place, ” but where he came season after season, year after year & where he, too, will be subsumed into the capacious story.` For millennia the cliffs of Capri have sheltered pleasure-seekers & refugees alike, among them the emperors Augustus & Tiberius, Henry James, Rilke & Lenin, plus hosts of artists, eccentrics & outcasts. Here in the 1960s Graham Greene became friends with Shirley Hazzard & her husband, the writer Francis Steegmuller; their friendship lasted until
Greene`s death in 1991. In GREENE ON CAPRI, Hazzard uses their ever volatile intimacy as a prism through which to illuminate Greene`s mercurial character, his work & talk & the extraordinary literary culture that long thrived on this ravishing, enchanted island.
