The book presents a problem-based, rational approach to the
diagnosis of orthopaedic problems in children. It is divided into
four sections based on the age at which specific problems may be
encountered; the newborn and infant, the toddler and the pre-school
child, the child in the school-going age and the adolescent. The
authors outline a systematic approach to arrive at a tentative
diagnosis by asking relevant questions related to the presenting
symptom and then performing a thorough clinical examination. They
then suggest the most appropriate investigations to confirm the
diagnosis. Each chapter deals with the common conditions that may
lead to the problem; the rarer causes of the problem are listed at
the end. This feature would make the book a practical manual and a
high quality reference source. An important feature of the book is
the number and quality of illustrations and video clips in the
electronic version.
This book is one of the many stories that was made up playing with
my kids nieces and nephew aka walabookies.
Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies in West Africa: Beyond
Right and Wrong expands the discourse on indigenous knowledge. With
several examples and case histories, the work defines,
characterizes, and explains indigenous conflict management
strategies in West Africa, particularly in Ghana, Nigeria, and
Cameroon. The book critically evaluates indigenous conflict
management strategies with a view to determining their
effectiveness in the context of the societies' history and culture,
and the relevance and adaptability of these strategies in
contemporary contexts. This book takes a scholarly approach,
avoiding romanticizing or idealizing indigenous conflict management
strategies in West Africa. It advocates a set of mechanisms by
which the best elements of indigenous knowledge and skills in
conflict management may be deployed to settle contemporary
disputes, and made portable for adoption and adaptation by other
complex societies in the region and beyond.
