Howard W. French - China's Second Continent: How a Million Migrants Are Building a New Empire in Africa Unabridged AudioBook | 2014 | Genre: General Non-Fic | English | ISBN-13: 978-0307956989 | MP3 64Kb | Length: 10 hrs and 32 mins | 289.28 MB An exciting, hugely revealing account of China's burgeoning presence in Africa - a developing empire already shaping - and reshaping - the future of millions of people. A prizewinning foreign correspondent and former New York Times bureau chief in Shanghai and in West and Central Africa, Howard French is uniquely positioned to tell the story of China in Africa. Through meticulous on-the-ground reporting - conducted in Mandarin, French, and Portuguese, among other languages - French crafts a layered investigation of astonishing depth and breadth as he engages not only with policy-shaping moguls and diplomats, but also with the ordinary men and women navigating the street-level realities of cooperation, prejudice, corruption, and opportunity forged by this seismic geopolitical development. With incisiveness and empathy, French reveals the human face of China's economic, political, and human presence across the African continent - and in doing so reveals what is at stake for everyone involved. Part intrepid travelogue, part cultural census, part industrial and political expos??, French's keenly observed account ultimately offers a fresh perspective on the most pressing unknowns of modern Sino-African relations: Why China is making the incursions it is, just how extensive its cultural and economic inroads are, what Africa's role in the equation is, and just what the ramifications for both parties - and the watching world - will be in the foreseeable future.

Howard Fast - Time and the Riddle (Zen Stories #31) Unabridged AudioBook | 1980 | Genre: Science Fiction | English | ISBN-13: 9780395291801 | MP3 64Kb | Length: 18 hrs and 2 mins | 495.59 MB At last! A complete collection of Howard Fast's "Zen stories" -- a unique blend of fantasy, science fiction, philosophy, and humor. Written over a period of twenty years and including Fast's latest work, never before published, these stories combine the comic with the cosmic, the playful with the profound. As a whole, they are marked by paradox and poetry, irony and suspense, mystery and hope. To their world-famous, best-selling author, they are, moreover, "the most important writing I have done." Like the scientists in a few of these stories, Fast bends time and ties knots in space to give us another view of reality. He takes the ethics and habits of mankind out of their comfortably familiar context and examines them from another dimension. So skillfully does he weave the fantastic with the commonplace, that we do not bother to question the existence of giant ants, half-inch men, time warps, telepathic children, lakes of blood, or the devil himself at the doorstep. Instead, our wonder is directed toward the paradoxes inherent in human existence. And from this literary magic, comes a sudden vision, a flash of understanding, in a laugh, a shudder, or simply a smile. We have been taken a step beyond time to come a step closer to the riddle.
