From one of America's leading reporters comes a deeply personal, extraordinarily powerful look at the most volatile crises he has witnessed around the world, from New Orleans to Baghdad and beyond.

Dispatches from the Edge of the World is a book that gives us a rare up-close glimpse of what happens when the normal order of things is suddenly turned upside down, whether it's a natural disaster, a civil war, or a heated political battle. Over the last year, few people have witnessed more scenes of chaos and conflict than Anderson Cooper, whose groundbreaking coverage on CNN has become the touchstone of twenty-first century journalism. This book explores in a very personal way the most important - and most dangerous - crises of our time, and the surprising impact they have had on his life.

From the devastating tsunami in South Asia to the suffering Niger, and ultimately Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Cooper shares his own experiences of traversing the globe, covering the world's most astonishing stories. As a television journalist, he has the gift of speaking with an emotional directness that cuts through the barriers of the medium. In his first book, that passion communicates itself through a rich fabric of memoir and reportage, reflection and first-person narrative. Unflinching and utterly engrossing, this is the story of an extraordinary year in a reporter's life.

Elegant and Perfect for Special Occasions
Color: Black, Color: Black
I bought this clutch for a wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The faux suede feels soft and luxurious, and the design looks far more expensive than it actually is. It’s the ideal size to hold my phone, keys, lipstick, and a few essentials without feeling bulky. The color matched beautifully with my dress, and the little metallic details gave it just the right amount of sparkle for an evening event. I received several compliments throughout the night! It’s versatile enough for weddings, cocktail parties, or even a fancy dinner out. If you’re looking for a stylish and affordable evening bag, this one is definitely worth it.

Very good quality item.
Color: Small-brown
OMGOSH! I love this purse! It is exactly what I've been searching for. I don't normally carry a purse. Wearing jeans or pants most of the time, I use my pockets: phone, flat wallet, lipstick, keys, and I'm ready to go. Occasionally, however, I wear an outfit where the phone is too bulky, like in a dress pocket, or there are no pockets at all. Not sure how I came to own such clothing, but be that as it may, I've been looking for a purse that would be simple, functional, and cute. I don't like large purses and phone size purses are just too small that even my few items overstuff them. Then I end up clipping the keys on the side which is not very sophisticated looking (more hobo than boho) So the search has been ongoing, until my package arrived today! Yay! This little Iswee purse is PERFECT! It has a clean design with just a few simple elements that give it that polished look. I got the small (6" high & 9" wide) in brown leather. The color is that warm, orangy-brown that I love. The leather is soft but sturdy not supple like a slouch bag but not stiff like a clutch. It is fully lined with interior and exterior, zippered and slide-in pockets. The hardware is a gunmetal color and heavy, seemingly of good quality. The over the shoulder strap can be adjusted with the buckle from 40" to 47" (length includes hardware) and is of a stiffer, belt like leather. (It even smells like leather) I may just order another in a fun color. It's worth every penny.
