TIME SCENE INVESTIGATORS
An ancient disease, a modern pandemic, and the one person who offers hope for a cure has been dead for 350 yearsIn 1666, a horrible disease took the lives of almost every person in Eyam (pronounced Eem), England. Helping the sick and the dying was the mysterious and ghostlike Blue Monk, whose strange appearance terrified even those who were comforted by him. More than three centuries later the disease has returned, more virulent than before. Every day more people are infected; every hour more die. The lives of millions rest in the hands of a bio-team -- the Time Scene Investigators -- that studies history to find cures for modern diseases. But the newest member of the team, Dr. Mark Carlson, has suffered a heartbreaking loss. With every tick of the clock the world approaches a global pandemic. A race against time becomes a race across continents -- to find a frightened boy who is carrying and spreading the disease wherever he goes, to thwart the machinations of corporate greed and fanatical sabotage, and to find the connection between a great tragedy of the past and a potential catastrophe of the present. Our present.
This book may become tomorrow's headline. |

Gabon is the ideal destination for naturalists, boasting easily accessible rain forests and reserves where an astonishing range of wildlife can be found and environmental conservation and research is being carried out. The country is particularly prized by birders. Excellent history, geography, and culture introductions underpin a practical guide that covers all the hard facts a visitor needs to know, including activities such as fishing, watersports, and whale and dolphin watching. The volcanic islands of São Tomé and Prìncipe lie to the west of Gabon. With a strong Portuguese influence, they are ripe for exploring by independent travelers who will discover an archipelago of sugarloaf peaks, idyllic beaches, and fertile rain forests hosting a range of endemic species. This is the first English travel guide to Gabon and the independent islands of São Tomé and Prìncipe.

This second edition, like the first, provides both basic information and considerable detail about Gabon and its history in a form useful to both casual readers and professional scholars. The volume updates many of the earlier entries and presents the results of new research on the period between 1914 and 1940. Gardinier also synthesizes data about the transformations that have occurred since 1967 under President Omar Bongo, including the upheavals of 1990-91. The introduction presents an overview of Gabon from prehistory to the present. A detailed chronology of events of the past five centuries follows, with tables of statistical data on population, national budgets, external trade, and domestic production since 1960. Within the dictionary itself are lists of colonial govenors and Catholic bishops. The alphabetical entries of the dictionary include individuals, groups, and movements; terms and events; and capsule histories of institutions and the forty peoples. The entries encompass both the pre-colonial and colonial periods (e.g., the slave trade, concessionary groups, the Mpongwe trading polities, early anti-colonial groups) and the eras of decolonization and national independence. Education, religion, the arts, the media, and health receive attention along with politics, foreign relations, the economy, and the society. After each dictionary entry are given the most important references in the comprehensive bibliography of 1,453 books, articles, and theses. |
