In a world where food security is key and the effects of climate
change, labour shortages and rising costs are a daily reality for
farmers across the globe, the quest for a satisfactory and viable
policy for agriculture has a continuing interest as relevant today
as when these 26 books were first published between 1928 and 1994.
Trading relations and trade deals in the sphere of agribusiness are
also once again under the spotlight following the UK’s departure
from Europe. Challenges for the 21st century are balancing the
needs of agronomics – the production of food under the most
economic, competitive yet sustainable conditions, alongside the
effective use of land to satisfy the multiple demands upon it. The
volumes in this set address these complex issues from a variety of
global viewpoints encompassing economic, political, geographic and
environmental perspectives.

Originally published between 1969 and 1976 these 11 volumes
covering Botswana, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Tanzania combine
historical approach with political analysis in an area of the world
and at a time when events were constantly evolving. Reliable
official sources of information were often unavailable to the
authors, many of whom had spent considerable time in the countries
they were writing about. Whether discussing the role of the
military in newly independent countries, history, language or
geography, what comes through clearly in this collection is the
sense of nation building and national identity across Africa at a
momentous point in the continent’s history. The books in this
set: Trace the remarkable expansion of Swahili Analyse the aims and
structure of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) provides a
synthesis of Yoruba and Igbomina history, culture and archaeology
Combine detailed technical studies of the diplomacy of the land and
waterborne warfare of pre-colonial West Africa. Assess Botswana’s
relations with other African states, particularly South Africa.
Describe the transformation of despised colonial defence force into
a Nigerian army with a popularly recognized reputation.

The best entries in an Oxford-based short story competition are
published in this collection. Each story reveals the joys,
anxieties and complex private lives of people travelling on the No
13 bus between Oxford Station and the John Radcliffe Hospital. This
is a book to dip into; it is a sequel to the successful Lucky 13
and will bring just as much pleasure to anyone who enjoys a good
read. Funds raised through the sale of Double-Decker are being
donated to the hospital's charity, Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals
Charitable Funds (registered charity 1057295), helping to provide
the best medical equipment, research and facilities for patients
and staff across our hospitals.
The private lives of strangers can be fascinating, as these tales
reveal. In them, the strangers are all passengers on the No 13 bus
leaving Oxford Station at 1.15pm on a summer's day, arriving some
40 minutes later at the John Radcliffe Hospital. During their
journey more passengers get on and others get off and they rarely
interact. But behind each inscrutable facade are the joys and fears
of complex private worlds and private thoughts. This is a book to
dip into. It will, of course, help pass the time on a bus journey
or even in hospital but it is intended to give pleasure to anyone
who enjoys reading about other people and lives which may be
exciting, sad or just plain different. All proceeds from the book's
sale are being donated to the Hidden Heroes Fund of the Oxford
Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds which supports staff
recognition, development and training across all the Trust's
hospitals.
A panorama of Christmas traditions around the world, from France to
Iran, Egypt to Mexico. Christmas traditions differ from culture to
culture, location to location, and family to family. In 24
Christmas Stories: Faith and Traditions from Around the
World, award-winning author Judith Bouilloc explores
present-day Christmas traditions, as well as the holiday's history
in many regions, brought to life by various artists. In Germany,
Anna opens the first window of her advent calendar and
wonders if Christmas will be here soon. In Lorraine, France, Rita
can't wait for Saint Nicholas Day (he'll bring little presents for
the good girls and boys, and potatoes for the naughty ones). In
Iran, Melchior trudges through the fog and is joined on his
travels by two other men who are following the brightest star in
the sky, guiding them to an unknown but special destination. In
Italy, St. Francis plans the very first living Nativity, determined
to share with his local friends the story of Jesus in the manger.
His Nativity scene goes on to inspire generations to come. In
Japan, Shusaku makes paper cranes in preparation of Christmas and
in honour of Sadako. In the United States, Trinity revises her
mother's to-do list to put the highest priority items at the top as
they get ready to welcome friends and family. Whether you
choose to read one story a night leading up to Christmas, or
multiple in one sitting, you're sure to learn something new about
Christmas and the many different ways it's celebrated around the
world every December.
This cornucopia of thrills and chills features 25 of the finest
English-language tales of the uncanny and macabre. In addition to
works by such stellar authors as Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft,
Arthur Machen, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Mary Elizabeth Braddon,
and Henry S. Whitehead, the book features three complete short
novels: A Phantom Lover by Vernon Lee, Serapion by Francis Stevens,
and The Ghost Pirates by William Hope Hodgson.
