What is it about Africa? Why do people get hooked and keep returning? Roger and Monica give their take on this amazing land, and how it works. In 1998 they shipped a Land-Rover to Cape Town and spent six months visiting five countries of Southern Africa. They travelled with laptop and satellite phone and sent back up-to-the minute reports by email. The reports they sent form the bulk of this book. In South Africa they travelled to the lush forests and fine beaches of the "Garden Route," the arid farming country of the Karoo, and the Richtersveld, a mountain desert, camping on the bank of the Orange river. In Namibia they explored the ancient Namib Desert, the Cunene River, the Himba People and Etosha National Park. The Kalahari, and the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta in Botswana were followed by seven weeks in Zimbabwe, a beautiful country, visiting an old friend at Harare University, Game Reserves, Victoria Falls and the magnificent Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers. Then they whiled away their time on the romantic shores of Lake Malawi "The Warm Heart of Africa," exploring a tiny fishing village, and staying at other locations. They slept mostly in tents, but occasionally in hotels, camps or lodges. Adventures included being trapped in the shower by a cobra and having to wrest their possessions from hyenas. They travelled in the rainy season and did encounter rain from time to time, not forgetting the times of driving through overflowing rivers and huge deep puddles. But the plus side of travel at this time of year is that the male birds are in breeding plumage and often displaying to attract the females. Also many animals give birth at this time and one has the pleasure of observing the new-born young.

This report looks at what is being done to challenge the snail's pace of progress on access to antiretroviral medicines in three very different African countries: Botswana, South Africa and Uganda. It describes who is driving these initiatives at grassroots level and how. It offers insights and draws on lessons from firsthand experiences that can help those already working towards better access to antiretrovirals, and encourages others to embark on similar initiatives. It is intended for all those with an interest in this issue from policy- and decision-makers with the power to create a favourable environment for antiretroviral treatment, to those working on the front line in health services, NGOs and AIDS service organizations, as well as those living with HIV, whose role in the battle for wider access is so vital.

Whether you're exploring the ruined city of Great Zimbabwe, camping under the night sky in the Kalahari or looking for shipwrecks on Namibia's Skeleton Coast, this essential guide is packed with ail the information you'll need. The authoritative and in-depth coverage of ail three countries.

The HIV/AIDS epidemic is showing scant signs of slowing down; its political impact varies greatly and is difficult to map. Providing an incisive study of the global plague that threatens existing social, economic and human interrelations, this innovative volume assesses how HIV/AIDS affects governance and, conversely, how governance affects the course of the epidemic.

"The 28 interviews collected in this volume were conducted between 1969 and 1986 in various parts of Africa, Europe and the United States of America. Leading writers from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Malawi and South Africa speak candidly about significant literary developments in their corners of the African continent".--BOOKJACKET.
