Writing with the same emotional intensity that distinguishes his news broadcasts, CNN journalist Anderson Cooper describes his powerful personal reaction to the tragic events of 2005 -- a year that brought a tsunami to Asia, escalating violence to Iraq, famine to Africa, and two devastating hurricanes to the United States.

From the Publisher
Few people have witnessed more scenes of chaos and conflict around the world than Anderson Cooper, whose groundbreaking coverage on CNN has changed the way we watch the news.

After growing up on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Cooper felt a magnetic pull toward the unknown. If he could keep moving, and keep exploring, he felt he could stay one step ahead of his past, including the fame surrounding his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, and the tragic early deaths of his father and older brother.

But recently, during the course of one extraordinary, tumultuous year, it became impossible for him to continue to separate his work from his life. From the tsunami in Sri Lanka to the war in Iraq to the starvation in Niger and ultimately to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi, Cooper gives us a firsthand glimpse of the devastation that takes place. Writing with vivid memories of his childhood and early career as a roving correspondent, Cooper reveals for the first time how deeply affected he has been by the wars, disasters, and tragedies he has witnessed, and why he continues to be drawn to some of the most perilous places on earth.

Striking, heartfelt, and utterly engrossing, Dispatches from the Edge is an unforgettable memoir that takes us behind the scenes of the cataclysmic events of our age and allows us to see them through the eyes of one of America's most trusted, fearless, and pioneering reporters.

Publishers Weekly
Most listeners will already be familiar with Anderson Cooper's dangerous field reporting on CNN. While this autobiography is heavy with those tales of wars and natural disasters, it is also rife with a surprising number of very personal incidents and revelations. His straightforward reading of his on-camera adventures is clear and engaging. But what keeps this reading from being great is his detachment. Perhaps because he has spent his professional life trying to be objective in his role as a journalist (although it could be argued that he became a media star when that facade cracked during his coverage of Hurricane Katrina) the more personal bits of the book are spoken with a level of distance that doesn't quite match up with the subject matter, especially when dealing with such delicate personal issues as his feelings concerning the suicide of his brother. Anderson is a sensational writer and reporter, but this mixture of public and private dispatches would have more power if he'd let his professional persona slip more. Simultaneous release with the HarperCollins hardcover (Reviews, May 8). (June) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

ID:400522 400522 synapsedkb 27 Apr 2007 05:42 This is interesting. I don't mind the mirrors, but they were established quite a bit before this post was published. Does someone have an inside tip ID:400524 400524 wooster 27 Apr 2007 06:22 You'll have to check in the 'news' section, I remember the whole mirrors and ftp2share argument from several months back but not the specifics. I along with others sounded off on it and prompted forgot all about it.

Just wanted to say a big Thank You for the audio books. There are never enough AFAIC.

LOL _I appreciate your efforts - and so thanks for this share, and the future shares too! :) ID:400531 400531 synapsedkb 27 Apr 2007 18:32 @wooster
Thanks for the feedback. I also complained about the ftp2share stuff. I really don't mind the mirrors if it helps the mods keep this site going. I just noticed that the names of the mirrorers kept changing.

I have terabytes of audiobooks. I keep so busy that the only chance I have to 'read' is in the car or slow periods when I have my mp3 player handy. I seem to 'read' more books with better retention this way.

If folks like the posts, I'll keep posting. ID:400871 400871 wooster 28 Apr 2007 01:02 Terabytes Awesome! If you post 'em, I'll gratefully listen to them! :)

I also seem to get more out of listening. Better concentration I think.

Anyway - many thanks again!

PS If you should run into any James Herriott, would you consider posting those too Whatever is best for you, and easier too. ID:401012 401012
