The gripping story of one American lawyer’s obsessive crusade—waged at any cost—against Big Oil on behalf of the poor farmers and indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest.Steven Donziger, a self-styled social activist and Harvard educated lawyer, signed on to a budding class action lawsuit against multinational Texaco (which later merged with Chevron to become the third-largest corporation in America). The suit sought reparations for the Ecuadorian peasants and tribes people whose lives were affected by decades of oil production near their villages and fields. During twenty years of legal hostilities in federal courts in Manhattan and remote provincial tribunals in the Ecuadorian jungle, Donziger and Chevron’s lawyers followed fierce no-holds-barred rules. Donziger, a larger-than-life, loud-mouthed showman, proved himself a master orchestrator of the media, Hollywood, and public opinion. He cajoled and coerced Ecuadorian judges on the theory that his noble ends justified any means of persuasion. And in the end, he won an unlikely victory, a $19 billion judgment against Chevon--the biggest environmental damages award in history. But the company refused to surrender or compromise. Instead, Chevron targeted Donziger personally, and its counter-attack revealed damning evidence of his politicking and manipulation of evidence. Suddenly the verdict, and decades of Donziger’s single-minded pursuit of the case, began to unravel. Written with the texture and flair of the best narrative nonfiction, Law of the Jungle is an unputdownable story in which there are countless victims, a vast region of ruined rivers and polluted rainforest, but very few heroes.

She makes up for it with bravery, kindness, and a brash can-do attitude.Their odd matchup is strengthened by curiosity, compassion, humor, and all the drama of typical teenage life.

But the powerful bond forged between them has existed through past lives. The outcome this time will affect the next generation of Kai’s people.

Haters-we all have them, and not only that, but sometimes your biggest hater could be your closest friend. People sometimes can pretend very well. I never gave anyone a reason to hate me. People sometimes create their own little drama out of jealousy. You shouldn't ever let other people's opinions affect what you do in life. Sometimes we have to love our haters from a distance. If people would love more and hate less, this world could be a better place. Stop giving your haters the power to steal your inner peace. There was a time when my haters were trying to criticize me for my flaws and my mistakes, but the sad part is, how can you downgrade someone else when you do not have it together for yourself? It's really sad when others look for ways to destroy someone else's life. At some point, our haters want to see us do well, but when you outdo them, they can't take it. Listen-you cannot let anyone come into your life, trying to discourage your ambitious attitude. Just keep moving forward, and don't worry about who is hating on you. Do what you have to do for you.
