Reviews
"[Bass] succeeds admirably at providing a refreshing antidote to the news media's bleak portrayal of contemporary black Africa. while he does detail some of the appalling failures of western aid and development programs, Mr. Bass makes a strong case for the limitless scientific possibilities of the continent, and for the adventurous scientists who frequently risk their lives for the 'something new' that always comes out of Africa."-The New York Times Book Review
