An Accident of Geography
Author: Richard C. Blum
Publisher: Greenleaf Book Group
ISBN: 1626343357
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
Advances in global development have helped lift hundreds of millions of people from poverty in recent decades, but major challenges in fighting poverty remain. Billions of people continue to have little or no access to the basic necessities of life: clean water, food, shelter, education, and medical care. The random location of their birthplace limited much of what is possible in many of their lives. Yet legions of dedicated people today are proving that with the right approaches and resources, disciplined efforts to fight poverty can succeed—and with greater scale and impact than ever. In An Accident of Geography, author Richard C. Blum profiles many of them while narrating his inspiring personal story—accomplished private-equity investor especially in Asia, humanitarian, public policy advocate, and creator of an unprecedented, multidisciplinary curriculum in poverty and development studies that has attracted thousands of students on the ten campuses of the University of California and beyond. Blum offers practical guidance on what works best: giving poor people a greater voice in the field and applying key principles of 21st-century management, engineering, and development philanthropy. Put your accident of geography to work in helping others, and yourself Be the change maker you see in the mirror. All author proceeds from the sale of An Accident of Geography will be donated to projects advancing global development.

Book Description
Zane Baran just dropped out of medical school in San Francisco. Haunted by his African experience, he¿s having serious doubts about life. His unrelenting quest for meaning draws him ever deeper into a whirlpool of inevitable truths about Homo sapiens and their brief reign at the top of the food chain. When his lover leaves and his dying father asks a favor, Zane catapults to Nepal where he meets Jeng Ra, his father¿s childhood mentor. Above the wind-whipped peaks of Kagbeni, Zane is thrust into unexpected twists and turns of fate, stretching the limits of his body and mind.REVIEW:Zane¿s Brain is a labyrinth of epiphanies that couldn¿t be timelier. Bojnowski¿s fresh voice weaves a dramatic and richly textured blend of scathing social commentary, gripping philosophy, and scientific fact into a heartfelt tale of the human condition. His insight into the fiber of societal dogma simmers beneath a twisting plot that takes the reader from the streets of San Francisco to the streets of Kathmandu.
