132. Nest, Michael (2011). Coltan. Cambridge: Polity Press. 220 pp. Paperback large trade, very good condition, minor toned spot fore-edge. minor edgewear, old price marks. Until recently, few except geologists had heard of tantalum or 'coltan' - an obscure mineral that is an essential ingredient in mobile phones and laptops. Then, in 2000, reports began to leak out of Congo (so-called Democratic Republic): mines deep in the jungle where coltan was extracted in brutal conditions watched over by warlords. This book describes in detail the complex politics of coltan including unstable government, rebel militias, transnational corporations, the metals marketplace, determined activists, Hollywood celebrities, the rise of China, and the latest iGadget. Nest argues the political significance of coltan lies not in its link to violence, but in skilful use of mobile phones by activists as a symbol of how ordinary people and transnational corporations far from Africa are implicated in the Congo coltan industry and therefore its conflict.

New York: Touchstone / Simon & Schuster. 541 pp. Paperback small thick octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear, reminder stripe. Robert Putnam (professor of public policy, Harvard University) explains that Americans once bowled in leagues, usually after work - but no longer. This symbolizes a significant social change. Data from recent surveys show how Americans have become increasingly disconnected from family, friends, neighbours, and social structures such as the PTA, church, recreation clubs, political parties. The shrinking access to the 'social capital' that is the reward of communal activity and community sharing is a serious threat to civic and personal health. Lack of social capital also strongly predicts crime rates. In the past, 100 years ago, America's stock of social capital was at an ebb, reduced by urbanization, industrialization, and immigration that uprooted Americans from their networks, similar to today. However, faced with this challenge, the country was able to right itself. ISBN: 0743203046. Our Book No: 15986. $30 AUD.
