#1 "New York Times" bestseller Iris Johansen pairs an exotic locale with an irresistible man in this classic love story that proves anything is possible when a woman knows in her heart that it s right . "Don t look for me. I ll come back when I m ready." Pandora Madchen wrote those words when she ran off six years ago. In that time she d become a sensation with the rock group Nemesis, toured the world, and grown up, but she never forgot the promise she made herself. Now Pandora was ready to return to the desert state of Sedikhan and the man she d loved too soon and too much. Sheik Philip El Kabbar was a businessman whose power and influence extended throughout the world but for six long years he d been unable to find the woman he still considered it his duty to protect. She d come back on her own terms and to take the kind of erotic gamble that Philip always won. Only this time he wasn t sure that in winning they wouldn t both lose what matters most. Or that in loving her, he wouldn t be hurting them both."

Drawing on two decades of ethnographic research in Sulawesi, Indonesia, Tania Murray Li offers an intimate account of the emergence of capitalist relations among indigenous highlanders who privatized their common land to plant a boom crop, cacao. Spurred by the hope of ending their poverty and isolation, some prospered, while others lost their land and struggled to sustain their families. Yet the winners and losers in this transition were not strangers-they were kin and neighbors. Li's richly peopled account And the Desert Blooms download book takes the reader into the highlanders' world, exploring the dilemmas they faced as sharp inequalities emerged among them. The book challenges complacent, modernization narratives promoted by development agencies that assume inefficient farmers who lose out in the shift to high-value export crops can find jobs elsewhere. Decades of uneven and often jobless growth in Indonesia meant that for newly landless highlanders, land's end was a dead end. The book also has implications for social movement activists, who seldom attend to instances where enclosure is initiated by farmers rather than coerced by the state or agribusiness corporations.
