Michael Scott Moore, a journalist and the author of Sweetness and Blood, incorporates personal narrative and rigorous investigative journalism in this profound and revelatory memoir of his three-year captivity by Somali pirates--a riveting, thoughtful, and emotionally resonant exploration of foreign policy, religious extremism, and the costs of survival.
In January 2012, having covered a Somali pirate trial in Hamburg for Spiegel Online International--and funded by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting--Michael Scott Moore traveled to the Horn of Africa to write about piracy and ways to end it. In a terrible twist of fate, Moore himself was kidnapped and subsequently held captive by Somali pirates. Subjected to conditions that break even the strongest spirits--physical injury, starvation, isolation, terror--Moore's survival is a testament to his indomitable strength of mind. In September 2014, after 977 days, he walked free when his ransom was put together by the help of several US and German institutions, friends, colleagues, and his strong-willed mother.
Yet Moore's own struggle is only part of the story: The Desert and the Sea falls at the intersection of reportage, memoir, and history. Caught between Muslim pirates, the looming threat of Al-Shabaab, and the rise of ISIS, Moore observes the worlds that surrounded him--the economics and history of piracy; the effects of post-colonialism; the politics of hostage negotiation and ransom; while also conjuring the various faces of Islam--and places his ordeal in the context of the larger political and historical issues.
A sort of Catch-22 meets Black Hawk Down, The Desert and the Sea is written with dark humor, candor, and a journalist's clinical distance and eye for detail. Moore offers an intimate and otherwise inaccessible view of life as we cannot fathom it, brilliantly weaving his own experience as a hostage with the social, economic, religious, and political factors creating it. The Desert and the Sea is wildly compelling and a book that will take its place next to titles like Den of Lions and Even Silence Has an End.

Описание: Excerpt from The Control of Peach Brown-Rot and Scab During the past few years the Bureau of Plant Industry has endeavored to develop a fungicide that could be safely used on the peach during the growing season to prevent some of the diseases of the fruit and foliage. Various copper compounds in both liquid and dust form were tested' without satisfactory results. Experiments with sulphur in various forms Showed that the soluble sulphids were even more caustic than Bordeaux mixture, and no encouragement was obtained from the work until the so-called self-boiled lime sulphur mixture was tested. In the experiments of 1907, the results of which were published in Circular No. 1 of the Bureau of Plant Industry, it was found that self-boiled lime-sulphur could be used as a spray on the peach without injury to fruit or foliage. Brown-rot infections were held down to 10 per cent of the crop, while 73 per cent of the fruit on the unsprayed trees rotted. The same treatment prevented the peach scab, or black-spot, and some leaf diseases. Experiments conducted by the writers during 1908 at Marshallville, Ga, Bentonville, Ark, and Neoga, Ill., verified the previous year's results and gave sufficient data to warrant the recommendation of this mixture for general use in peach-growing districts where brown rot and scab are prevalent. The results of the 1908 experiments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book primarily focuses on the interests and needs of two main audiences: 1. Sexagenarians that are interested in remaining in, or reentering, the workforce. 2. Employers that desire to tap into a goldmine of potential by adding members of this prestigious group of experienced workers to their business and organizational teams.
