Everywhere he went, he encountered institutionalized corruption, fraud, widespread alcohol and drug abuse, intimidation, racism and violence. Lloyd captures the grittiness of his experiences with vividness and wit. In his culminating employment as the maintenance supervisor for the San Francisco Zoo, he witnessed first hand and attempted to correct the appalling neglect of facilities and abusive conditions that led to the fatal tiger attack of Christmas Day, 2007. There are many illuminating parallels that may be drawn between this insider account of the corruption in San Francisco and other large cities across the country.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49773337018641,"sku":"CIN0312873263A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49849644974353,"sku":"CIN0312873263G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50431108317457,"sku":"CIN0312873263VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53209886687505,"sku":"GOR002871587","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0312873263.jpg?v=1750813361"},{"product_id":"grimmy-the-revenge-of-grimzilla-book-mike-peters-9780312873240","title":"Grimmy: The Revenge of Grimzilla!","description":"Viewed by some as symbols of progress and a necessary evil and by others as inherently flawed and destructive of ecosystems and societies, large dams remain the most contentious development issue on earth. Building on the work of the now defunct World Commission on Dams, Thayer Scudder, the world's leading authority on large dams, wades into the debate with unprecedented authority. Armed with a vast array of cases studies and statistical data from Asia, including China and India, North America, Africa and Latin America, Scudder charts the 'middle way' forward by examining all aspects of the costs, benefits and risks to ecosystems, societies and economies of large dam development projects. analyses the structure of the decision making process for water resource and energy development and the planning, implementation and governance of assets when a large dam is selected as the best development option. He also assesses state-of-the-art procedures for addressing environmental, institutional, political and social issues, and tackles the highly contentious issue of dam-induced resettlement, illuminated by a statistical analysis of 50 cases.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49863271514385,"sku":"CIN0312873247G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50232190075153,"sku":"GOR005734987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50621924999441,"sku":"CIN0312873247VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50924787925265,"sku":"GOR003914732","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52119679303953,"sku":"CIN0312873247A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52153079464209,"sku":"GOR014495677","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0312873247.jpg?v=1751165206"},{"product_id":"grimmy-king-of-the-heap-book-mike-peters-9780312860691","title":"Grimmy: King of the Heap","description":"This upbeat nitty-gritty memoir, based on the author's 2001 trail journal, chronicles one man's hike the whole length of the Appalachian Trail, beginning just north of Atlanta and finishing six months later in Maine.
