"A fast-paced look at white personalities in Africa, a few well-knowns from the past and a few collected by the author in recent years . . . Denis Boyles knows the territory well."--The New York Times Book ReviewIn a series of ebullient and evocative portraits, journalist Denis Boyles chronicles the white men and women who journeyed to Africa in the twentieth century, seeking things they couldn't find at home. Daredevil flyers and dedicated missionaries, intrepid explorers, and charming con men--they all turn up in African Lives. You'll meet General Charles George "Chinese" Gordon, who, as governor of Equatoria in the 1870s, mapped the region, drove out slave traders, and made the area safe for travelers. There is gossip about Beryl Markham and Isak Dinesen, who were legendary rivals in literature and in love. There are also sketches of such colorful figures as Patrick Shaw, the 300-pound "Clint Eastwood" of Kenya, and George Pappas, a self-made millionaire pilot. Vivid, provocative, and insightful, African Lives is a testimony to the continent's hold on the popular imagination. "Entertaining . . . jazzy . . . Boyles' prose has a certain cheeky charm, and he spins some good yarns."--The Washington Post

Great Product
Its a good product. It works gradually whitening teeth. I use this powder on top of the Boka Prebiotic toothpaste and I have to say I am pretty impressed how clean my teeth are, the whitening and no sensitivity issues.

Awful packaging
Just got the product so I can’t give opinion on if it works to whiten my teeth but I will say the packaging is awful. The powder gets all over the lip of the container and all over the sink. Hard pass unless you want to clean your sink each time you use it.

Pineapple and papaya
Color: A - Magic Mint (Pack of 3), Color: A - Magic Mint (Pack of 3)
I like it okay. I will use all of it but I am unsure if I will buy it again. It foams very little. I feel like I use more than I do with other pastes/gels. My mouth feels clean without having that too minty/medicinal taste from traditional flouride pastes. It comes out of the tube easy and sticks to my brush. I didn’t know until after I purchased it that there is papaya and pineapple extracts. There IS a photo in the product description that says this and I neglected to click through them all. I have two members in my household that are allergic to those ingredients so I have not had them try it. The only taste is a mild mint though. I think the whitening effects of nanohydroxyapatite pastes is much better than other popular brands that boast “whitening.” My teeth simply look whiter and shiny.
