From survivor of genocide to conservation hero: A moving, heartwarming memoir about a real-life chimpanzee whisperer-now the subject of the award-winning documentary film Pant Hoot. Stany Nyandwi's gift for communicating with chimpanzees is so special that world-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall has called him a "chimpanzee whisperer." His skills & devotion to these creatures-our closest living relatives, with whom we share 98.7 percent of our DNA-have earned him international awards & sent him on travels within Africa & around the world. But he began life in poverty, born & raised in a dirt-floor, straw-roofed hut in rural Burundi. The Chimpanzee Whisperer is the story of his astonishing life journey. It is also an African story. Receiving only an elementary education before he quit school, he suffered injustice & tragic loss because of his ethnic group. He began caring for orphaned & rescued chimps in Burundi. When the country descended into civil war & genocide, he was forced to flee with the chimps & endured long separation from his family. Continuing to work with & learn about chimpanzees in Kenya, Uganda, & later South Africa, he made himself into an incomparable authority. His memoir has adventure, danger, & many unique & touching stories about chimpanzees that show his bond with & understanding of them. As told to award-winning author David Blissett, it reveals a remarkable man who has refused to let circumstances defeat him. Conditioned by hate, wounded by loss, he has lived for love, faith, & compassion, giving new life, as Dr. Jane Goodall writes in her foreword, to so many chimpanzees whose families, like his own, were torn apart by violence. ...

A controversial look at the impending Chinese economic collapse--the history behind it, its contemporary causes, & its dire implications for the global economy All the experts agree: the 21st century belongs to China. Given Americas looming insolvency & the possibility of the collapse of the U.S. dollar, who can doubt that China is poised to take over the role of economic superpower? Written by political economist & leading financial journalist James Gorrie, this book offers a highly controversial, contrarian view of contemporary China. Drawing upon a wealth of historical & up-to-the-minute data, Gorrie makes a strong case that China, itself, is on the verge of an economic crisis of epic proportions. He explains how, caught in a recurrent boom/bust cycle that has played itself out several times over the past sixty years, China is again approaching total economic & social collapse. But with one important difference this time: they may very well take the entire global economy down with them. Explores the Chinese communist partys unfortunate history of making costly & very bloody mistakes on an enormous scale One-by-one Gorrie analyzes those critical mistakes & explains how they may lead to economic collapse in China & global depression Describes Chinese "cannibal capitalism, " & where its massive abuse of the countrys environment, people, & arable lands is leading that country & the world economy Chronicles Chinas history of recurring economic crisis & explains why all the evidence suggests that history is about to repeat itself ...
