A brilliant comparative study of tribal politics in Kenya and Nigeria, and the rest of Africa. Also a probing analysis of the tragic failure of the multiparty system in Africa's ethnically divided countries.

It is also an equally impressive critique of the one-party system, although not as detailed, probably because the author's focus is on the divisive nature of multiparty politics in Africa's multiethnic societies.

Highly recommended for scholars and members of the general public interested in comparative study and African affairs.

Book was in excellent condition - just as described on amazon.com. I am pleased with the product.

Award-winning military history author and U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel John Grenier presents The Far Reaches of Empire: War in Nova Scotia, 1710-1760, an in-depth study of the impact that fifty years of warfare in a remote corner of North America had upon the larger competition between the British and French empires during the eighteenth century. Written specifically from a military history perspective, The Far Reaches of Empire chronicles how Britons and Yankees waged an efficient and effective counterinsurgency that eventually overwhelmed Acadian, Indian, and French resistance in Nova Scotia. Neither side was above using brutal or ruthless tactics; guerilla war was also practiced, well before America used it during the Revolution. A heavily researched study, featuring detailed notes, a bibliography, and an index for quick reference, enthusiastically recommended for North American military history shelves.

My fiance and I are going to Nova Scotia on our honeymoon this summer. This guide was the best one I've found. We're also going to Prince Edward Island and this book covers all of the Atlantic provinces. It even has sample itineraries which have been helpful because we are creating a honeymoon registry. Great buy! I would also recommend requesting free information from the tourist office of NS, they send out an informative brochure/book.

Just returned from Nova Scotia and PEI - couldn't have done it without Fodor's to guide me. Found it particularly helpful for accomodations and dining. It would have helped to have a better idea how long the town-to-town trips take by car. While some roads are highways, others are more rugged and 60 miles can take 2 hours (without stopping to sightsee). But this is a minor complaint and overall this guide was excellent (so was the trip!)

I am the author of this publication, which I wrote for the federal government. You can find it for free on the web by googling. I update it frequently, however, and you can get the latest edition for free by writing to your senator or representative and asking for CRS Report 95-815. Pardon my giving it five stars, but amazon.com requires reviewers to choose a number of stars.

It would be hard to overpraise this exceptional book. Written by two people who are master practitioners of our grandparents' ways of living as well as master gardeners, this book is a gem!
It is at once a book on gardening (flowers, herbs, fruits & vegetables) and independent living, a book of recipes and remedies, and an arresting narrative of thirty years of work creating a self-sufficient life (and all manner of wonderful gardens) on the bare bones of an old, abandoned farm on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. It is also a book of considerable visual beauty, being generously illustrated in vibrant watercolors by Champlain Valley artist Elayne Sears.
I found Gardens of Use and Delight not only meaningful and enjoyable reading, but also a very useful reference for many aspects of flower, herb, fruit and vegetable gardening, and for all manner of things "homemade." The recipes in the chapters, "The Kitchen Garden," "The Contained Garden," and "An Old-Fashioned Fruit Garden" are mouth-watering gems often rescued from the cookbooks of yesteryear (the Herb Salt and Apple Ginger recipes to name two favorites!) And the wisdom and humanity distilled from the lives of these two people who decided to truly live their beliefs is instructive and inspiring.
Perhaps more importantly, though, the book is a reminder of the elements of a rich and healthy life that have been forgotten, if not lost, in these times.
I recommend it highly!

This is a look at carnival life which is much different than the American Ten-In-One of the 1930-40's; but the outcome is the same. The Geek is the lowest form of carnival life. What happens when a drunk descends to the lowest of lows? Of interest to anyone interested in carnivals and the human condition

An excellent collection of reviews on genomic and proteomic technologies and their application on various types of cancers.
