Question: Great Read for those interested in travel, foreign affairs . I finished Kaplan's Ends of the Earth today.  I liked the book.  Kaplan has consistently been one of my favorite authors (Atlantic Monthly) His theme is consistent: many nation states are not really nation states.  I felt that his comments about Iran were especially poignant, given how some view Iran as part of the "Axis of Evil".  I get the sense that when this book was written, Kaplan had great hope for the future   of Iran as they struggle with theocracy.    Ecocide, or the killing of natural resources is a new topic for me that Kaplan introduces.  According to Kaplan, many developing nations have traded immediate benefits for the long term health of their natural resources.  His observations are very very interesting, especially his observations from the   post-Soviet nations like Uzbekistan.    Kaplan is a bold, imaginative and thoughtful writer, he is not merely another journalist or another travel writer. His message, right or wrong, is sincere and based on his own personal observations. I highly recommend this work for anyone interested on new perspectives in current affairs.

Question: I agree with Everett -- the audio version is terrible . I wish I had followed Everett Logan's advice and skipped this cassette. You can tell that the material itself is great, but the narrator is terrible, terrible, terrible. He dumbs down the text. I bought this to give to someone recuperating from surgery, but decided to listen to it myself first. I'm glad I did -- I would have been embarrassed to give this to anyone

Answer: NEG
