The end of apartheid did not change the basic conditions of life for the majority of oppressed South Africans, however.

Mee`s dream was to refurbish the zoo and run it as a family business. The grand reopening was scheduled for spring, but there was much work to be done and none of it easy for these novice zookeepers. Tigers broke loose, money was tight, the staff grew skeptical, and family tensions reached a boiling point. Then tragedy struck. Katherine Mee, Benjamin`s wife, had a recurrence of a brain tumor, forcing Benjamin and his two young children to face the heartbreak of illness and the devastating loss of a wife and mother. But inspired by the memory of Katherine and the healing power of the incredible family of animals they had grown to love, Benjamin and his kids resolved to move forward and today the zoo is a thriving success.

We Dare You: Scrapbook Challenges About Real Life

Publisher: Memory Makers
Description: The authors are building a web site that will add an interactive element to this project, allowing readers to post their `answers` to each of the dares in the book. Scrapbookers are always looking for ways to push their art, and participating in challenges is one great way to do that. The most popular and inspiring challenges are the `dares` that the authors of this book post on their blog and on Two Peas in a Bucket. These dares explore more than just trendy new materials, they get to the heart of the participants with challenges that really make them think-about what makes them happy or proud or filled with regret. In this book, the authors will develop new dares (only a handful of the dares will have appeared before: two are the most compelling from online and six are online favorites that have been given new spins). Each dare will be answered by at least three of the twelve participating artists and will include a story behind the page so that readers can learn how the… [detailed...]

We Did Porn: Memoir and Drawings

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Blending memoir with Smith`s own drawings and paintings, We Did Porn will do for alt porn what Hunter S. Thompson did for motorcycle gangs and Tom Wolfe for psychedelica.Punk artist and icon Zak Smith made a name for himself by visually re-creating Thomas Pynchon`s Gravity`s Rainbow and drawing pictures of girls in the `naked girl business.` His artistic pedigree and acute observation landed him in high-profile shows from the Whitney to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Somewhere along the line, Smith went from the observer to the observed, from the guy in the corner with a sketchpad to the guy on-screen doing the unnamable for anyone eighteen or older to see. We Did Porn follows Zak Smith (or Zak Sabbath) from the New York art scene to Los Angeles`s seedy, yet colorful, underbelly—the world of alt porn. Smith narrates his own foray into pornography and gives his readers a new understanding of the industry, its players, and its audience. [detailed...]

We Die Alone: A WWII Epic of Escape and Endurance

1999 y.
Publisher: The Lyons Press
Description: Here is one of the most exciting escape narratives to emerge from the challenges and miseries of World War II. In March 1943, a team of expatriate Norwegian commandos sailed from northern England for Nazi-occupied arctic Norway to organize and supply the Norwegian resistance. But they were betrayed, and the Nazis ambushed them. Only one man survived - Jan Baalsrud. This is the incredible and gripping story of his escape. Frostbitten, blinded by the snow, and pursued by the Nazis, Jan dragged himself forward until he reached a small arctic village. He was near death, delirious, and a virtual cripple. But the villagers, at mortal risk to themselves, were determined to save him, and - through impossible feats - they did. `We Die Alone` is an astonishing true story of heroism and resilience. Like Slavomir Rawicz`s classic `The Long Walk`, and the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the `Endurance`, it is also an unforgettable portrait of the determination of the… [detailed...]

We Do: A Celebration of Gay and Lesbian Marriage

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: First comes love, then comes marriage -- unless, of course, you`re gay. But when San Francisco`s mayor, Gavin Newsom, ordered City Hall to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on February 12th, thousands of gays and lesbians from around the world lined up to take their vows, inspiring other cities to follow suit. As intense public debate continues, We Do is an intimate portrait of these history-making weddings. A many-splendored thing, love is captured here in all its joy and diversity. Drawing on ceremonies from around the country, here are weddings both traditional and unconventional, whether the brides and grooms are in flowing white gowns, business suits, or blue jeans. The result is a touching album of happy couples, from the two lesbians who`ve been together 51 years to dads with babes in arms. A joyful celebration, We Do stands witness to the fact that we are all created equal in love. [detailed...]

Description: In the days following the 2009 presidential election, world leaders lined up in the hope of being the first to visit Barack Obama. In the event it was Tony Blair who, two weeks into the new Administration, stood shoulder to shoulder with Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington. Blair was back on the world stage eighteen months after leaving office, the man of deep Christian faith who, during his premiership, became a political warrior. With the new President by his side, the former Prime Minister gave full vent to his belief in the importance of the global role of religion in political life: `The 21st century will be poorer in spirit, meaner in ambition, less disciplined in conscience, if it is not under the guardianship of faith in God.` The impassioned plea was a far cry from his public pronouncements as Prime Minister when he was virtually gagged on the question of religion which, advisers warned, was `off message.` Based on new material from revealing conversations… [detailed...]

Throughout we get a picture of the spirituality that flows out of U2`s music and how their influence has spread beyond music into issues such as AIDS activism, debt relief for developing nations, and the crisis in Darfur.

We Have Never Been Modern

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With the rise of science, we moderns believe, the world changed irrevocably, separating us forever from our primitive, premodern ancestors. But if we were to let go of this fond conviction, Bruno Latour asks, what would the world look like? His book, an anthropology of science, shows us how much of modernity is actually a matter of faith. What does it mean to be modern? What difference does the scientific method make? The difference, Latour explains, is in our careful distinctions between nature and society, between human and thing, distinctions that our benighted ancestors, in their world of alchemy, astrology, and phrenology, never made. But alongside this purifying practice that defines modernity, there exists another seemingly contrary one: the construction of systems that mix politics, science, technology, and nature. The ozone debate is such a hybrid, in Latour`s analysis, as are global warming, deforestation, even the idea of black holes. As these hybrids… [detailed...]

Description: In this handbook for locating the hidden sales messages that bombard us everyday, Martin Howard explains the new techniques that corporations are using to make subconscious approaches without your consent. It covers the five major zones where consumers are being confronted: in the retail shopping context, at major events and concerts, through information media, personal friendships, and your computer. Up until recently, there was a social contract that alerted consumers to advertising messages. They were clearly labeled, endorsements were obvious and certain areas were off-limits. That contract has been broken, and many corporations are resorting to underhanded methods to persuade. Our shopping centers, stadiums, telephones, friendships and editorials are all `fair game.` Marketing messages have crossed into the social sphere. We Know What You Want points out dozens of examples of how these signals are being relayed and gives you the tools and techniques to… [detailed...]
