Dinner With Mugabe by Heidi Holland

Dinner With Mugabe
Author: Heidi Holland
Format: Hardcover



Description:
This penetrating, timely portrait of Robert Mugabe is the psychobiography of a man whose once-brilliant career has ruined Zimbabwe and cast shame on the African continent.

The author's tireless investigation begins with her having dinner with Mugabe, the freedom fighter, and ends in a searching interview with Zimbabwe's president more than 30 years later.

The author charts Mugabe’s gradual self-destruction, and uncovers the complicity of some of the most respectable international players in the Zimbabwe tragedy.

Probing the mystery of Africa’s loyalty to one of its worst dictators, Holland explores the contradictions that cloud the life of the most controversial figure on the continent.

The Language of God
Author: Francis Collins
Format: Softcover



Description:
Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world\'s leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?
