An English professor at North Carolina State University, Barbara Bennett spent a recent sabbatical as a hands-on volunteer, working with lions, leopards, & other wild creatures at Harnas Wildlife Foundation in Namibia. Based on her incredible experiences there, she authored this beautiful book
- part nature story, part far-flung adventure, part biography of the amazing proprietor of Harnas, & part call to action on behalf of embattled wildlife. At the sanctuary, founder Marieta van der Merwe & her family care for more than 400 rescued, injured, & orphaned animals including cheetahs, leopards, lions, monkeys, meerkats, & wild dogs, as well as domestic dogs & cats. The animals come from farmers protecting their stock, from road accidents, & from misguided owners who try to domesticate wild pets. Harnas runs a variety of programs to heal, release, protect, & care for them. A typical scene at Harnas might involve workers seated under a tree in the heat of the day, supervising a playdate for scampering baby baboons. Or bottle-feeding a six-month-old giraffe whose legs alone are the height of an adult human. Or taking an evening stroll with half-grown lion cubs who might turn & playfully pounce at any moment. Every scrape was a badge of honour. We all hoped one of these injuries would scar. It would be the cocktail party story that tops all others, recalls the author. But her most magical experience at Harnas
- one that will bring awe & envy to every cat-lover in the audience
- was sleeping out in the enclosure alongside beautiful Cleo & Pride, lulled by their loud purrs & kept warm by 300 pounds of magnificent cheetah. The story of Harnas isn`t just about animals. Readers will become fans of brave, tenacious Marieta, who has accomplished much despite tremendous hardships. Learn of movie star Angelina Jolie`s devotion to Harnas. & get to know the Bushmen who work at the sanctuary. People, wildlife, nation, & environment
- all play a part in this candid & page-turning adventure, at once daring, dangerous, funny, & forever heartwarming.

In September 2005, Alex Kapranos began writing about what he ate while touring the world with the rock band Franz Ferdin&. The writing is as much about where he eats & the people he eats with as the unusual flavours he tastes on the road. Whether it`s munching donuts with cops in Brooklyn, swallowing bull`s balls with the band in Buenos Aires or queuing for a saveloy in South Shields, these are surprising & vivid snapshots of life on the road. Funny, poignant, sickening or sexual depending on the situation, the material, both new & previously published in the ” Guardian”, is fascinating & entertaining. ...

Souk: Feasting At The Mezze Table

The word mezze stems from the Arabic term `tamazzaza` - a single word that broadly embraces the idea of enjoying small portions of food and taking the time to indulge one`s tastebuds, eyes and nose by exposing them to a wide range of aromas and flavours. A complete mezze table is formed when many of these warm and cold dishes are presented together, as a meal in itself. The mezzanic culture originated in the Ottoman Empire and can be found in the whole of the Levantian Mediterranean: from Greece and Cyprus to Turkey (Hatay Province), Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. But Lebanon has really developed and is famous for its richest, most extensive and sophisticated mezzanine culture. In addition to these delicious recipes, Souk also delves into the personal stories and
reminiscences about this food tradition, and the families and friends the authors meet along the way. Eating mezze is a social event, wrapped in warmth and coziness, and spiced with waves of laughter and noisy chatter, which the book highlights.
