The Christian History Institute also has a profile of Livingstone. Other interesting Livingstone pages include National Geographic's Forbidden Territory, Neil Shedden's David Livingstone page, and "In Search of the Source of the Nile."

The Web site of the David Livingstone National Memorial in Blantyre, Scotland, offers some history of the missionary explorer.

On Zambia:

Recent news from Zambia is available from allAfrica.com, AfricaOnline.com, and WorldNews.com.

The BBC has a good profile of Zambia's new president, Levy Mwanawasa.

The official State House of Zambia site offers more information about President Mwanawasa, including speeches.

Chiluba's conversion story is still available at the official government site even though he's no longer president.

In 1997, World magazine called Chiluba "Africa's politically incorrect phoenix," suggesting that the then-president was both "a good Christian democrat [and] a tyrant."

Isaaac Phiri's book, Proclaiming Political Pluralism: Churches and Political Transitions in Africa, is available from Amazon.com and other book retailers. Britannica.com supposedly has Isaac Phiri's Journal of Church and State articles on religion's role Zambian politics, but the site has been flaky lately.

Africa InSites' Travel Guide focuses on the tourism aspects of Zambia, but also includes some history. Sunvil's Guide to Zambia is also very helpful.

More on microloans and CETZAM's work is available from Opportunity International and Scruples.
