Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the time of Adam Smith, there has been a voluminous literature concerned with the differing wealth of nations and the variation in the nature of economic growth, and several schools of thought have held precedence at different times. The fundamental mechanisms have been regarded by some as capital accumulation and investment, and by others as entrepreneurial ability. Modern World Development, first published in 1982, shows that the length of time under consideration materially affects the relative significance assigned to the factors involved; similarly, the size of an area cannot be ignored. Through an examination of the major theories of economic growth, the role of natural resources, the core-periphery model of world development, environmental change and the concept of ‘human capital’, Professor Chisholm has written a stimulating and important book which will appeal to students of economics, history and geography.

Download or read book Health and Medical Geography in Africa written by Yemi Adewoyin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume focuses on the evolution and current state of the sub-discipline of health and medical geography in Africa. It encompasses theoretical and methodological issues as well as the current teaching and research capacities of institutions offering programs in health and medical geography in Africa. Further, the book will review the level of adoption of the sub-discipline in State policies and practice and also provide practical illustrations, with case studies, of how studies in the sub-discipline are central to the actualization of Africa's development agenda. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between health and development. Through its direct and indirect impacts on labor productivity, population health and wellbeing matter for the social and economic development of households and national economies. Yet, health is not uniform in space. And so is development. Comparatively on many health and development indicators, Africa fairs poorly. The variation in health may present as differences in the occurrence and spread of diseases, the distribution of and access to healthcare facilities, and/or in health outcomes among the population. Reasons for these variations range from biology to the population’s levels of exposure and susceptibility to elements in their environment, including the social interactions taking place within the environment. The field of health and medical geography focuses on the spatial patterns and processes underlying these variations and provides pathways for understanding and addressing them. More specifically, the sub-discipline of health and medical geography focuses on, among others, how places (their characteristics and processes that go on in them) and environmental factors underlie and/or influence disease patterns, exposure and susceptibility to diseases, health variations, health behavior, health outcomes, and the provision of and access to healthcare services. This volume documents perspectives and applications in health and medical geography in Africa for academics, students, health practitioners, and development policymakers.
Download or read book Ali Ogba written by Chukudi V. Izeogu and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this book has metamorphosed from inspirations gained from my parents and personal observations of the environmental, social, economic and political transformation taking place in Ali Ogba communities spanning over several decades. The main idea of the book dates back to several decades ago when I was a young man completing field work for my research as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the B. Sc. degree in Geography at the University of Nigeria. The field work was interrupted by the Nigerian - Biafra war but resumed after the war. The original idea was developed and additions made focusing on the design of Ali Ogba communities' settlement patterns. These manuscripts were put aside while pursuing advanced degrees in the United States until the nineteen nineties when issues of Ali Ogba sustainable development occupied my thoughts especially as each passing decade brought changes in the physical, socio-cultural, political and economic environment landscapes of Ali Ogba communities. The overarching goal is to document for posterity the Ali Ogba environment and way of life in the early part of the 20th century in contrast to the Ali Ogba of today with emphasis on the changes that have occurred and what they portend for the future of Ali Ogba communities in the contexts of 21st century Nigeria and global technological advances.

Download or read book Deforestation Around the World written by Paulo Moutinho and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deforestation and forest degradation represent a significant fraction of the annual worldwide human-induced emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, the main source of biodiversity losses and the destruction of millions of people's homes. Despite local/regional causes, its consequences are global. This book provides a general view about deforestation dynamics around the world, incorporating analyses of its causes, impacts and actions to prevent it. Its 17 Chapters, organized in three sections, refer to deforestation impacts on climate, soil, biodiversity and human population, but also describe several initiatives to prevent it. A special emphasis is given to different remote-sensing and mapping techniques that could be used as a source for decision-makers and society to promote forest conservation and control deforestation.
