Twenty years ago, Jaabe So founded an independent farmers' association among the Soninke towns in Senegal. Since then, much of Adrian Adams's and So's lives have been spent in struggling to defend the existence of that association against a state development corporation funded by development aid. This is a narrative of that struggle and of three centuries of Senegalese history. This extraordinary book, much of which was written first in an African language, will be invaluable reference for those who believe that Africans may yet redeem a future free from the false promises of development by drawing on an inherited past.
Football is the greatest game in the world. Place can not be found in the world where it is not played. As Eusebio wisely said: "Anyone can play whether you are poor or rich. All you need is space and a ball." Football players and coaches are known from colorful language. Most of the quotes in this book are hilarious. Like Zlatan: "Now I'm here, I think the people in Paris will have something else to see besides the Mona Lisa" Many of the quotes are very inspiring as well. Messi gives us a good example: "Talent and elegance mean nothing without rigor and precision" Lets enjoy players and coaches brightest moments.
The large number of drivers in the F1 history is surprising. In total, more than 800 drivers have participated in the F1 race weekends. We all remember the champions, but they would not exist without the other participants. Many of the drivers' quotes have become classics and they symbolize the characteristics of the drivers. Michael Schumacher, Bruce McLaren and Ayrton Senna provide us with brilliant quotes related to the sport. On the other hand, some of the not so well-known drivers such as Johnnie Parsons, Hernando da Silva Ramos and Brian Redman, have been able to express their thoughts amazingly well. This book gives the voice to the drivers who deserve to be remembered.
