Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories.

The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Not for Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade--and How We Can Fight It

Description

Award-winning journalist David Batstone reveals the story of a new generation of 21st century abolitionists and their heroic campaign to put an end to human bondage. In his accessible and inspiring book, Batstone carefully weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action.

With 2007 bringing the 200th anniversary of the climax of the 19th century abolitionist movement, the world pays tribute to great visionary figures such as William Wilberforce of the United Kingdom and American Frederick Douglass for their remarkable strides toward framing slavery as a moral issue that people of good conscience could not tolerate. This anniversary serves not only as a commemorative date for battles won against slavery, but also as a reminder that slavery and bondage still persist in the 21st century. An estimated 27 million people around the globe suffer in situations of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in people has become increasingly transnational in scope and highly lucrative. After illegal drug sales and arms trafficking, human trafficking is today the third most profitable criminal activity in the world, generating $31 billion annually. As many as half of all those trafficked worldwide for sex and domestic slavery are children under 18 years of age.

Summary: "Not For Sale"

An excellent book! Anybody interested in modern day slavery MUST read this book. It will open your eyes to what can be going on in your own back yard. Every parent should read this book, every teacher should read this book, every grandparent should read this book. Batstone was able to write a very difficult subject in a way that not only engages the reader but allows the same to continue to read on. I read on average about 2-3 books per week and never write reviews; this book and its subject compelled me to do so. Highly recommend it.

Summary: "No Human Being for Sale"

Not for Sale is not your typical work on the modern day slave trade because its' a quick read that packs a lot into a fairly compact 300 page package. Instead of some works that draw outrage out of the reader through tales of bloody sexual exploitation and deplorable conditions, Batstone makes his case through a common moral outrage that all human beings should share using meaningful and raw stories of victims, perpetrators, and those seeking to end human exploitation throughout the world. Many of these do not contain blood or media enhanced tales of abduction rather the terror from them comes the terror faced by laborers in India, Child Soldiers of the LRA, and the Street Children of Peru. Many books have neglected to focus on the plight of child soldiers and street children, so I thought that was a refreshing addition. The reason this book did not get five stars is that the stories presented in the book though informative, but the author jumps back and forth within chapters so much that it prevents the reader from latching onto one particular person or situation.

Summary: "Thoroughly Disturbing, Heartbreaking Book - MUST READ"

This book is disturbing in many ways. Heartbreaking. It contains countless stories about all the flavors of slavery that exist today. Real people-to the tune of 27 million-live in slavery. It challenges those who read it to get involved in any capacity in this fight for justice. At the end it lists a dozen or more organizations that stand in the gap in various ways. The book also contains the stories of some of the modern day heroes for the abolitionist cause.

Dare to open this book and you will be challenged to look past your comfortable life to how you can help those that should not be for sale.

Summary: "Outstanding book"

Not For Sale is simply an outstanding book by David Batstone and deserves a 5 star recommendation. I doubt that anyone interested in this topic could begin reading this book and put it down. Yes, it is graphic and simply has an atrocious tale to tell regarding Human Trafficking/Slavery--the origins, who is involved, why it is being done, and who the victims are. The author takes us around the world and gives dramatic personalized stories that are simply heartbreaking whether it is conscripting children as soldiers, or sending young girls into brothels. He ends with citing organizations that fight this kind of evil and makes you want to become involved. It is very apparent that slavery is here, thriving and needs to be stopped--a call to action.

Summary: "Angels of Darkness, Angels of Light"


It seemed to me that I had encountered both in the course of my first trip to Moldova, one of the countries discussed in depth as a supplier of trafficked women in this excellent book by David Batstone.

Angels of Darkness - the exploiters, operating with an inhumanity and spine chilling demonstration of evil in their relentless pursuit of profit, stealing the lives of the innocent and the weak.

Angels of Light - the abolitionists and rescuers, those who would not look away, but rather risk their very lives to confront this great unrecognized evil of the modern age, and do so with courage, compassion, endurance and vision that would seem to be far beyond any human capacity that I could understand.

Not for Sale describes this clash of good and evil swirling about the global slave trade in its many pernicious expressions in the 21st century. The author has chosen a narrative form in which he weaves together stories of lives - those of the innocent victims, the Angels of Darkness who enslave and exploit them, and the Angels of Light who will leave no stone unturned to set the captives free.

Each chapter tells the story of a different manifestation of slavery from around the world. These include providing children for the smorgasbord of sex tourism in Southeast Asia, slave workers to make bricks in India, gruesome accounts of children abducted to serve as soldiers (and the sex slaves of commanders) in Uganda, the role of organized crime in developing trafficking as vibrant economic growth engine in the commercially devastated former Soviet Republics, and on and on.

The reader comes away with an understanding of the many forms of modern day slavery, the conditions that give rise to it, and what can be done to combat it.

And this is perhaps the best aspect of the book - it contains a call to action, and describes many ways in which even those of us who are not heroes can join the fight. Ultimately, it speaks of hope in a context that at first glance would seem to be utterly hopeless. As the author writes, "I believe in the power of individuals to change the world".

Angels of Light.
