The story begins with a dream -- the dream of Africa. Virgin forests, majestic mountains surrounded by savannas, vast plains punctuated with the rhythms of animal life where lions, elephants and giraffes reign as lords of nature, far from civilization -- all of us carry such images in our heads, imagining Africa as a timeless Eden untouched by the ravages of modernity. But this Africa has never existed. The more we destroy nature here, the more we fantasize about it in Africa. Along with UNESCO, the WWF and other organizations, we convince ourselves that the African national parks are protecting the last vestiges of a world once untouched and wild. In reality, argues Guillaume Blanc, these organizations are responsible for naturalizing large tracts of the African continent, turning territories into parks and forcibly evicting thousands of people from the lands where they have lived for centuries. Making use of archives and oral histories, Blanc investigates this battle for a phantom Africa and the contradictory claims of nations who destroy nature at home while believing that they are protecting the natural world abroad. In so doing, they enact a new type of colonialism: green colonialism

Dr. Helen Morrison ist forensische Psychologin und hat sich über mehrere Jahrzehnte mit dem Phänomen "Serienmord" beschäftigt. Ihre Erkenntnisse finden in diesem Buch ihren Niederschlag. In vielstündigen Gesprächen mit mehr als 80 Serienmördern, darunter so berüchtigte wie John Wayne Gacy, Ed Gein und Michael Lee Lockhart, hat sie versucht, deren Persönlichkeitsprofile zu erstellen und die Ursachen für die tödlichen Aktivitäten zu erforschen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Experten ist sie der Meinung, dass genetische Defekte verantwortlich sind, dass Menschen zu Serienmördern werden. Das Buch ist wissenschaftlich fundiert und dabei äußerst spannend zu lesen. Empfehlenswerte Ergänzung zu Stephan Harborts "Mörderisches Profil" (BA 2/03) und Reinhard Hallers "Die Seele des Verbrechers" (BA 3/03), die sich beide mit deutschen und österreichischen Fällen befassen. Nach wie vor zusätzlich zu empfehlen: "Die große Enzyklopädie der Serienmörder" (Michael Newton; BA 3/03). (2)
