AIDS in South Africa

In January 2000, the United Nations Security Council mobilized for the first time ever against an illness: It declared the AIDS epidemic that is galloping through Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean a global catastrophe. Even the US ambassador to the United Nations, Richard Holbrooke, has acknowledged it as,'the greatest single threat to humanity.' the crisis is worst in sub-Saharan Africa, and especially South Africa, which has one of the fatest-growing epidemics in the world: One out of four adults is HIV positive, as are 29% of all pregnant women.
Reporting from the frontlines of the daily battle with AIDS consuming hospitals and households across the country, author and journalist Zia Jaffrey stresses that AIDS in Africa is not simply a health issue but an amalgam of economic, political, and social concerns. Taking on Mbeki's administration, first-world governments, the large multinational pharmaceutical companies, and the inimical legacy of apartheid on the country's social cohesion, Jaffrey argues forcefully that not allowing developing nations access to cheap generic drugs nor drastically cutting prices of life-prolonging and AIDS-fighting drugs is tantamount to genocide. In disturbing personal narratives from men and women in South Africa, she reveals how AIDS has recently become the new apartheid.

Cat In An Orange Twist

This is the 16th mystery starring Las Vegas publicist and part-time sleuth Temple Barr and her crime-fighting cat, Midnight Louie. The grand opening of a glamorous furniture store showcasing the work of a famous interior designer fails to come off as Temple has planned it: it's interrupted by two murders. Escaping unscathed is the designer herself, Amelia Wong, but possibly not for long, as she's been receiving death threats. Can Temple--and Louie, of course--find out who's responsible before it's too late?
