Het goud van CongoDe Kivuprovincies in Oost Congo, samen amper vier keer Belgi, moeten zowat de rijkste gebieden van deze aarde zijn. De voorraden goud, diamant, coltan, cobalt zijn eindeloos groot, de landbouwgronden vruchtbaarder dan waar ook rond de evenaar. Toch (over)leeft hier zowat de armste bevolking ter wereld. Zeker een kwart van de Kivubewoners woont nu al twintig jaar lang niet meer in zijn eigen huis, op de vlucht voor het geweld. Ondervoeding,

De Kivuprovincies in Oost-Congo, samen amper vier keer België, moeten zowat de rijkste gebieden van deze aarde zijn. De voorraden goud, diamant, coltan, cobalt... zijn eindeloos groot, de landbouwgronden vruchtbaarder dan waar ook rond de evenaar. Toch (over)leeft hier zowat de armste bevolking ter wereld. Zeker een kwart van de Kivubewoners woont nu al twintig jaar lang niet meer in zijn eigen huis, op de vlucht voor het geweld. Ondervoeding, kindersterfte en moedersterfte zijn endemisch geworden, verkrachtingen bijna routine. Waar komt dat geweld vandaan? Wie beslist er over leven en dood aan het Kivumeer? Wat gebeurt er met die onmetelijke rijkdommen van Oost-Congo? En wat hebben wij in het rijke Westen daarmee te maken? Het goud van Congo rijgt jarenlange persoonlijke ervaringen en getuigenissen aan bestaand academisch onderzoek. Het brengt een journalistiek relaas van meer dan twee decennia strijd om de rijkdommen van Congo. Die strijd begon in de nasleep van de Rwandese genocide en oorlog van 1994 en gaat tot vandaag onverminderd door. Maar het boek is ook een verhaal van de levenskracht van miljoenen mannen, vrouwen en kinderen in hartje Afrika, overlevers, ondanks alles.

Another fine Benchmark Atlas.
Format: Spiral-bound
We travel a lot and own 6 benchmark atlases now. They're the finest on the market and include camping and fishing information and show the forest service and other backroads. What's special about the British Columbia atlas is that it is spiral bound. I just replaced my Oregon atlas after 20 years because the cover had ripped up and torn off and the pages were falling out. I hope they will all be spiral bound from now on.

When you need to see where you are
Format: Spiral-bound
I love these maps and own quite a few. Easy to use, big picture or more detailed sections. Very useful despite google maps.

Another good Benchmark Atlas
Format: Spiral-bound
We camp frequently and own all of the Benchmark Atlases. Although, this is different due to Canadian laws, we are excited to try it out! Very detailed with information, such as small campgrounds and identifying land ownership (Forest services or BLM)

Memories of the Camino
Format: Paperback
First off, I have to say that my husband and I know Angela, the author. We met her because she is a neighbor of my sister, living in Hawaii. We discovered that she planned to walk the Camino de Santiago de Compostela the same year we were (2016) ! On a visit to Hawaii, we met with Angela and did a little local hike together. She was so enthusiastic and had prepared well. We, too, had been reading up and watching videos, getting suggestions as to what to bring, how to deal with physical issues and weather, what to pack and what not to pack, etc. Still, for anyone doing the Camino - whether the WHOLE 500 miles or doing the required 100 km to get the certificate at the final destination: Santiago de Compostela, Spain - it is a very personal endeavor. Reading Angela Leslee's book gives you the personal story of her "camino," and it is captivating. The changes that take place in her life - the discoveries she makes, the people she meets, the failures she feels, the fears, the habits that get broken (such as food choices!) - all make for an adventure that is life-changing and an interesting read. For anyone considering this pilgrimage, because that's what it is, this book will inspire you. You don't need to be part of a "group." You don't need a lot of plans. You do need to be prepared to be changed. The memory for myself and my husband is that it is the best shared experience we have had together in our 50 years of marriage! Angela's book brought back so many wonderful memories for us. I highly recommend this book.
