Two books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Two books I just bought. Chomsky is my prototype of a public intellectual: engaging, witty, tireless....I thank my professor Dr. Martin Odei-Ajei for exposing him to us in our undergrad years!!! And I love the ringside report of the key policies that constructed China's "miracle" from one of the key architects Li Lanqing!!!!

Of Dopamine and pudendum!!!!

Naomi Wolf's latest work on the female pudenda is as provocative as it is informative and downright bold and even intellectual. I am struck by the mysteries of dopamine and its inspiration for the Nirvana induced states(albeit momentary) for the fairer sex during coitus. The Economist of 8th-14th of September, 2012 has an interesting snap take on the book on p.68 and the Guardian weighs in as well with a rather longish piece   http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/sep/07/vagina-new-biography-naomi-wolf-review

 Ghana's women's Manifesto is back in the news and Ghanaian men and male dominated political space needs all the info germane for more sensitivity and ACTION than has been expressed  :)!!!  

One for the weekend(hopefully of less blackouts :()
