The Fate Of Africa
by Martin Meredith
An epic biography of post-colonial Africa, and illuminating insight into its current devastating problems, by one of its most authoritative scholars Fifty years ago, as Europe's colonial powers withdrew, Africa moved with enormous hope and fervor toward democracy and economic independence. Dozens of new states were launched amid much jubilation and the world's applause. African leaders, popularly elected, stepped forward to tackle the problems of development and nationbuilding. In the Cold War era, the new states excited the attention of the superpowers. Africa was considered too valuable a prize to lose. Today, Africa is a continent rife with disease, death, and devastation. Most African countries are effectively bankrupt, prone to civil strife, subject to dictatorial rule, and dependent on Western assistance for survival. The sum of Africa's misfortunes-its wars, its despotisms, its corruption, its droughts-is truly daunting. What went wrong? What happened to this vast continent, so rich in resources, culture and history, to bring it so close to destitution and despair in the space of two generations? Focusing on the key personalities, events and themes of the independence era, Martin Meredith's riveting narrative history seeks to explore and explain the myriad problems that Africa has faced in the past half-century, and faces still. From the giddy enthusiasm of the 1960s to the "coming of tyrants" and rapid decline, The Fate of Africa is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how it came to this-and what, if anything, is to be done.

The Almanac of Online Trading
by Terry Wooten
The number of online trading accounts is growing faster than even the most optimistic experts predicted. It is estimated that there will be 10.5 million online accounts by the end of 1999 and 18 million by the end of 2001. This rapidly growing world of online investing is forcing radical change among such Wall Street pillars as Merrill Lynch, which has made a 180 degree turn and will begin offering online trading to its clients. But this is also a fast-changing and entirely new world for many new investors who are not familiar with all the nuances of online trading. There is a need for a guidebook for the individual investor that provides a nuts-and-bolts look at online trading. The Almanac of Online Trading provides the straight facts of online trading, as well as the tools and resources available.
