This book brings together cutting-edge research by leading African
communication and media theorists to provide a broad but detailed
survey of the history and present state of the art of advertising
in Africa. The book is a thought-provoking reminder of the variety
of approaches to the study of marketing communication on a
continent where advertising is often taken for granted. From
indigenous African forms of advertising - by street criers, wall
paintings, and even olfactory appeals - to the latest experiments
in integrated marketing communication via the Internet, home
videos, smartphones, and social media, Dimensions of Advertising
Theory and Practice in Africa is a comprehensive survey both of
Africa's contributions to the globalized advertising industry and
of the industry's profound affect on African economies and
cultures. The first collection of its kind, the book marks an
important moment in the study of marketing communication in Africa.
It will be an essential text for years to come.
Your body needs maintaining to keep it healthy. So does your mind.

What it does do is provide practical help, when times are tough and also when they're not. And just like with your physical health, it doesn't always have to take much to make a difference.
Developed in partnership with Mind, the mental health charity, This Book Could Help is filled with straightforward expert advice and simple techniques to help you shake off what other people say you ought to be, prioritize yourself, meet challenges and develop new strengths, in areas such as dealing with stress, motivation, work and life goals. We all deserve to live fully and respect our struggles, so start here and back yourself every day.
Because head space is not a luxury, it's essential.

This book is an impressive collection of chapters which
investigates the role that digital communication technologies play
in political discourse and civic engagement in Nigeria, Africa's
largest democracy. The collection, written by fifteen seasoned
African scholars and, drawn from diverse backgrounds approaches
digital civic engagement from different perspectives of discourse
analysis, such as, critical discourse analysis, corpus-assisted
discourse model, socio-semiotic approaches and multimodal discourse
analysis, computer-mediated discourse analysis, appraisal theory,
as well as sociolinguistic and applied linguistic approaches. The
authors demonstrate how the Internet has become the space for
citizens' participation in the process of democratisation, as well
as the key driver of change in many developing nations. The process
of civic engagement which manifests through the verbal and visual
semiotic resources on different social networking spaces, such as
online newspapers feedback forums, Facebook, Badoo, Twooo, texting
and instant messaging, discussion forums, political cartoons, and
Charismatic religious sermons are explored. This book is a must
read for researchers who are interested in the discourse of online
civic engagement in the developing world.
A fierce and fresh debut novel, set over the course of two decades
in Nigeria, about sisterhood, fate and female resistance Twin
sisters Bibike and Ariyike are enjoying a relatively comfortable
life in Lagos in 1996. Then their mother loses her job due to
political strife and their father gambles away their home, and the
siblings are thrust into the reluctant care of their traditional
Yoruba grandmother. Inseparable while they had their parents to
care for them, the twins' paths diverge once the household
shatters: one embracing modernity as the years pass, the other
consumed by religion. Written with astonishing intimacy and wry
attention to the fickleness of fate, Black Sunday delves into the
chaotic heart of family life. In the process, it tells a tale of
grace in the midst of daily oppression, and of how two women carve
their own distinct paths of resistance.
The birthplace of modern humans, Africa, has the highest genetic
diversity in the world, yet it remains vastly understudied. With
biomedical research increasingly focused on human variation,
studying the large population size and number of mutations in
African genomes could unravel the complexity of phenotypic traits
underlying the biology of our species and hold huge potential for
scientific and medical advances. An initial chapter 'conceptualizes
Africa', providing relevant terminology. The first section covers
genetic history and population structure. The next section looks at
the genetic basis of common infectious diseases, such as
leishmaniasis, malaria and tuberculosis, with a final part
considering common non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes,
hypertension, obesity, heart disease and cancer. Gene environment
interaction under globalization and the burden of diseases of
lifestyle are included. For researchers and graduate students in
biological anthropology, genetic anthropology, human and population
genetics, and public health.
