This book is by an anthropologist who is good at describing the dilemma of population pressure on limited land, post-apartheid generations, and white nativity. However, he also paints himself as a boob until the very end. Ultimately, this would have made a fascinating short story or novella, but is too long for its conclusions.(less)

Part travel diary and part international analysis of the oil industry in Africa, the author, a crafty journalist/academic, spends a couple years traveling around some of the roughest parts of Africa while asking the kinds of questions that could get one killed. This book is not only very informative, but it is also a compelling read. I highly recommend it to environmentalists and humanitarians.(less)
