Описание: In Myanmar, where civil war, repressive government, and the $30 billion-a-year jade industry have shaped life for decades, everyone is searching for their own version of the truth . . . Bum Tsit has a problem. In Myanmar's far north, he is caught between the insurgent army his family supports and the business and military leaders his career depends on. It forces him to confront Myanmar's biggest, most painful secret: the connection between the jade industry and the longest-running war in the world. Now, he must choose a side. Phoe Wa lives in a very different Myanmar. He is a young migrant who has come to Yangon, the country's biggest city, to pursue his dream of being a photojournalist. At a time when the government is jailing reporters and nationalist voices are on the rise, he believes that he has a responsibility to educate the public about his country's problems. Until the World Shatters weaves Phoe Wa and Bum Tsit's stories of dramatic revelation to present the definitive portrait of Myanmar's politics and people in an era where public trust has disappeared. It also introduces us to the monks, punks, refugees, and disillusioned youth, all fighting for their vision of the country's future--and in many cases, simply for survival. This is the first in-depth piece of reportage about the largest natural resource heist in Asia and its massive destabilization of the country as a whole, taking us deeper into Myanmar's world of secret-keepers and truth-tellers than ever before.

Adam Obadiah Slope is a lineal descendant of Dr. Obadiah Slope, the sycophantic weasel-like clergyman in Anthony Trollope's Barchester Towers. The Reverend Doctor Slope, Trollope claimed, was in turn descended from Doctor Slop, the fumbling but comical character who with considerable difficulty delivered Tristram into this world in Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy. The title of the present work might well have been The Life and Opinions of Adam Slope, for that is what this book offers.
This book emphasizes character rather than plot. In an attempt to follow traditions set by such authors as Cervantes, Sterne, Trollope, Joyce, and others, this work is not altogether linear. Rather, it contains interjections, interruptions, and a good number of inanities.
Adam Slope can be ludicrous in some of his accounts, but he can also, on occasion, express serious philosophical and social thoughts. The fictional narrator, Jonathon Eidobon, probes Slope's life and opinions, the silly ones, the serious, and those in between, and reports them to the reader. The writer hopes the reader will find a few laughs along the way.

There isn't any question that American black men have had set backs in America, a country in which a vast majority were born in, both socially and economically. Experiments, legislation and assassination are part of history when discussing the path of American black men from slavery till today. One can argue a great deal was made to put a hindrance on this particular group. All that effort, but what if one attempt didn't have an adverse effect on black men but gave them an advantage while putting everyone else in danger? This book gives an insight into that "what if" question. In the height of the Civil Rights movement, the government releases a virus targeting black males. With it having no effect the virus was brushed under the rug and forgotten until today. The only way to combat this terminal virus lies in the blood flowing through the veins of black men in America. How will the country react? Will some men donate willingly? Will some resist? We will see through the eyes of four different black men who come from different backgrounds but somehow are brought together and must decide their fate in the midst of corruption, resentment, and greed.
