Thank you. I now know more about Namibia. And now, my husband knows more, too. (Because I just read him the highlights of your post.)

In reply to The Literary Omnivore. Thanks! We'll see if I can keep it going -- my reading projects typically falter and die after an initial burst of enthusiasm (I'm sorry to say). :p

Ahha, so I”ll just read your blog posts about all the countries in the world and become smart by osmosis. I can’t wait for your Congo post.

What a genius project! I’m learning so much just from this post.

In reply to Alley. We'll see how the project goes. Right now I've done two big histories, but I think as I move forward with the project, I'm going to have a hard time finding one history per country. Like, that covers the full extent of the country's history. I may have to up it to two books in some cases.

In reply to Stefanie. Yeah, I think San Diego?maybe? has talked about doing a water reclamation project for irrigating crops -- or maybe they already ARE doing it. But I think more's going to be needed, not just for California but for all over the country and the world. :/

In reply to Memory. Hahahaha, well, maybe I am wrong. I know when I was working on a big African history project at my old job, there was a lot of talk about Ghana and very little about Namibia. I somehow made it all the way through that project without learning one single thing about Namibian history.
