Food aid is a controversial form of development assistance and this
book, first published in 1979, seeks to counter allegations from
critics by taking account of both direct and indirect affects.
Based on field research in Tunisia, Botswana, Upper Volta and
Lesotho, it considers aid from the UK, EEC, USAID, the World Food
Programme, Canada and France, and draws a number of
policy-orientated conclusions about the impact of food aid on
nutrition, consumer prices and agricultural production. In the
light of the evidence from field studies it is shown that many of
the claims advanced by food aid supporters and by critics cannot be
sustained, and that the real impact of food aid is rather different
from that assumed by the conventional wisdom on the subject.

This report was prepared to guide the landscape rehabilitation of
the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training at
Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana.
The purpose of this cultural landscape report is to thoroughly
examine and document the physical development of the thirty-acre
portion of the Charlestown Navy Yard that is owned and managed by
the National Park Service. The report describes the evolution of
the landscape from its establishment as a navy yard in 1800 until
its closure in 1974 as well as changes during the period of
National Park Service (NPS) management from 1974 to present. This
site history is followed by a description of the current condition
of the property and an analysis of historical significance and
integrity. This includes an evaluation of the yard's historic and
contemporary landscape characteristics, such as changes in spatial
organization, circulation, and vegetation. With an understanding of
the historical fabric, the report then presents treatment issues
and recommendations related to security, accessibility, paved
surfaces, trees, lawn areas, lighting, and other site features.
Kenneth Williams was the stand-out comic actor of his generation.
Beloved as the manic star of" Carry On" films and as a peerless
raconteur on TV chat shows, he was also acclaimed for serious stage
roles. "Born Brilliant" will include much previously unseen
material from Williams's candid daily journal and also draw on rare
in-depth interviews with friends and colleagues. Since the
publication of edited extracts from his diaries, much controversy
has surrounded Williams's personal and professional lives. This
biography traces the complex contradictions that characterized an
extraordinary life and presents the first full portrait of a star
who was born brilliant.
