Impassable roads, poorly maintained railways, bankrupt airlines,
congested cities, and inefficient ports -- how do these conditions
inhibit the economic progress of developing countries? With case
material from Latin and central America, Southeast Asia, and
Africa, author David Hilling illustrates the differences in
transportation strategies and structures between the developed and
developing worlds. In examining such projects as inland waterways,
ports, railways, roads, and air and urban transportation networks,
Hilling emphasizes the relative importance of timing, location,
technology, and decision making structures in each case, and then
illustrates how these factors contribute to the success or failure
of economic development strategies.
For introductory sophomore-level courses in Linear Algebra or
Matrix Theory. This text presents the basic ideas of linear algebra
in a manner that offers students a fine balance between
abstraction/theory and computational skills. The emphasis is on not
just teaching how to read a proof but also on how to write a proof.
First published in 1988, Africa examines the varied pattern of
development in the continent, the progress and the disappointments
experienced, and the prospects. This picture is set firmly within
the frame of the continent’s geography. From a general synthesis,
the books moves to a country by country analysis of the
interdependence of geography and economic development. The
authors’ analysis of the effects of varied development strategies
in Africa leads them, in the final section, to discuss what lessons
maybe learned from these earlier initiatives and to assess the
changes in development policies that were later implemented. This
book will be of interest to students of geography, economics and
development studies.
In Giving Voice to My Music, David Wordsworth's engrossing
interviews take us into the world of twenty-four leading composers
of choral music, composers for whom writing for choirs is central
to their very existence. Here, they give voice to their
inspirations, their passions and the challenges they have faced in
working through the pandemic of 2020/21. They reveal how their life
experiences have influenced their compositions, how they choose and
relate to the texts they set, and how they interact with
commissioners, singers and conductors alike. Enhanced by an
extensive reference section and a revelatory list of the composers'
own favourite pieces, readers will discover music that has enriched
these composers' lives and encouraged their creativity. Giving
Voice to my Music will be relished by singers, composers,
conductors and above all audiences, for the new insights it offers
into works that are already well-known but also for its
introductions to new choral music that deserves to be better known.

Using a combination of existing and original research, this new
text provides a simple explanation for the low turnout in American
elections: rather than creating an environment conducive to
participation, the institutional arrangements that govern structure
participation, representation, and actual governance in the United
States create an environment that discourages widespread
participation. To explore this argument, the author examines the
origins and development of registration laws, single-member
districts, such as the Electoral College, and the separation of
powers and the impact these institutions have on turnout levels in
American national elections. To this end, the text employs a
narrative discussing the impact of institutions on turnout in the
United States and across nations, supported with extensive yet
accessible data analysis. Hill not only provides students with
explanations for the low turnout characteristic of American
elections, but also demonstrates the powerful impact of
institutions on political life.
Originally published in 1976. This book helps beginning and
practising teachers to operate effectively in multiracial schools;
its emphasis is on practical guidance for the classroom. It
presents a review of the salient features of teaching in
multiracial schools, comprising a brief description of the three
largest ethnic minority groups; a selected list of studies related
to the assessment of ability and achievement; language
difficulties, specifically for West Indian, Asian and Chinese
pupils, and for second-stage immigrant learners.
Powerful personal accounts from migrants crossing the US-Mexico
border provide an understanding of their experiences, as well as
the consequences of public policy Migrants, refugees, and deportees
live through harrowing situations, yet their personal stories are
often ignored. While politicians and commentators mischaracterize
and demonize, herald border crises, and speculate about who people
are and how they live, the actual memories of migrants are rarely
shared. In the tradition of oral storytelling, Voices of the Border
reproduces the stories migrants have told, offering a window onto
both individual and shared experiences of crossing the US-Mexico
border. This collection emerged from interviews conducted by the
Kino Border Initiative (KBI), a Jesuit organization that provides
humanitarian assistance and advocates for migrants. Based in
Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora-twin border cities connected
by shared histories, geographies, economies, and cultures-the
editors and their colleagues documented migrants' testimonios to
amplify their voices. These personal narratives of lived
experiences, presented in the original Spanish with English
translations, bring us closer to these individuals' strength, love,
and courage in the face of hardship and injustice. Short
introductions written by migrant advocates, humanitarian workers,
religious leaders, and scholars provide additional context at the
beginning of each chapter. These powerful stories help readers
better understand migrants' experiences, as well as the
consequences of public policy for their community. Royalties from
the sale of the book go to the Kino Border Initiative.
Every political aspirant and activist knows the media are
important. But there is little agreement on how an increasingly
diversified media operate in post-authoritarian transitions and how
they might promote, or impede, the pathways to a sustainable
liberal democracy in the 21st century. This book examines the role
of the media during Indonesia's longest experiment with
democratisation. It addresses two important and related questions:
how is the media being transformed, both in terms of its structure
and content, by the changing political economy of Indonesia after
the fall of Suharto? And what is the potential impact of this media
in enabling or hampering the development of democracy in Indonesia?
The book explores the relation between the working of
democratisation, by examining the role of ethnic identity and
nationalism; increasingly cheaper and diversified means of media
production, challenging state monopolies of the media; the reality
of personalised and globalised media; and the challenging of the
connection between a free media and democracy by global capitalism
and corporate control of the media. The book argues that the
dominant forces transforming Indonesia today did not arise from the
singular point of Suharto's resignation, but from a set of factors
which are independent from, but linked to, Indonesia's internal
politics and which shape its cultural industries.

Our series Cancer Prevention - Cancer Control continues to address
the causes and prevention of cancer. In this volume, Hill, Elwood,
and English bring together a rich resource summarizing the state of
science underpinning the primary prevention of skin cancer. While
skin cancer causes an increasing burden, particularly in
populations of European origin, our understanding of the role of
sun exposure together with the genetic components of skin cancer
continues to grow. Given the emphasis on evidence-based medicine
and public health prevention efforts, it is noteworthy that,
although we can all access the same evidence base, countries around
the world have had remarkably different responses to the
application of this knowledge to prevent skin cancer. The
outstanding contribution of the Australian public health community
to the scientific understanding of skin cancer etiology and the
translation of this knowledge into national prevention efforts
uniquely positions the editors to compile this volume focused on
the primary prevention of skin cancer. In so doing they draw on an
international team of authors to present a "state of the science"
summary of skin cancer prevention and to identify those areas where
uncertainty remains. To achieve successful prevention of cancer we
must translate our scientific knowledge base into effective
prevention programs. This book offers the reader keen insights into
the depth of our understanding of etiologic pathways for skin
cancer. This etiologic science base is complemented by rigorous
prevention science placing emphasis on the social context for
effective and sustained prevention efforts.
