This volume is based on a series of lectures Dr. Johnson addressed to the 'youth of Britain'.

The global burden of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension, diabetes and cancers, and of common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, has a disproportionate impact on the low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) of Africa, Asia and Latin America. The pattern persists in African and Asian migrant populations in European and North American countries, despite the higher standards of living and improved health infrastructure. The consensus of experts is that pragmatic, cost-effective and sustainable interventions are required, and that these must prioritise the social determinants of NCDs as well as the social participation of affected communities. Despite the growing emphasis on the role of social processes in health system responses to chronic disease in LMICs, there has been no definitive volume that brings together LMIC perspectives on these issues. This book aims to address this major gap by presenting new conceptual and empirical perspectives on the interconnections between culture, ethnicity and chronic conditions in LMICs and their implications for research, intervention and policy. The chapters focus on lay and institutional meanings, experiences and responses to chronic conditions in selected countries in Africa, Europe and the Caribbean. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnicity and Health.

Low and middle income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America bear a significant proportion of the global burden of chronic non-communicable diseases. This book synthesizes evidence across countries that share similar socio-economic, developmental and public health profiles, including rapid urbanization, globalization and poverty. Providing insights on successful and sustainable interventions and policies, it shows how to slow and reverse the rising burden of chronic diseases in resource-poor settings.

The international and multidisciplinary practice GRAFT conceives of itself as a label for architecture, urban design, product design, and music. GRAFT calls itself a "hybrid office" and produces dynamic architectural designs for standard commissions; however, the architects also initiate their own projects and system solutions for tasks with a social, ecological, or esthetic emphasis. The book presents buildings by GRAFT in the fields of culture, offices, brand architecture, retail, and mobility. It contains about forty generously illustrated projects that document a wide range of work in which the respective corporate culture is incorporated in GRAFT's sophisticated architectural language. Dialectic essays focus on the practice's key themes, such as the debate on urban identity or mobility transition.

Air Commodore John Ebenezer Samuel de Graft-Hayford or Johnnie as he was fondly called, was the son of the Rev. Mark Christian Hayford, the Founder of the Gold Coast Baptist Church, and Mathilda Emma Goy, a German school teacher. Born in London in 1912, he received his education in Accra, Cape Coast, Germany and Scotland. At the age of 19, he joined the Gold Coast Civil Service where he remained for the next nine years. It was during this period that he took an interest in boxing fighting under the name of "Chocolate Kid" becoming the welterweight and middleweight champion of the Gold Coast and the middleweight champion of West Africa, retiring undefeated. On the outbreak of the Second World War, he enlisted in the Royal West African Frontier Force as a soldier rising through the ranks and in 1946 was commissioned, and had attained the rank of captain when demobilized in 1948. After a brief spell in the Colonial office in London, he was appointed Secretary/Accountant of the Gold Coast Cocoa Marketing Board where he spent the next nine years rising to the position of General Manager. After a brief spell with the Ghana Law School as its first Registrar, he was recalled into the armed forces by Nkrumah in 1960 as the first Commanding Officer of the people's militia Army Volunteer Force. Two years later, he was promoted to Brigadier and redesignated Air Commodore to be the first Ghanaian Chief of Air Force Staff. In 1963, he was transferred to the Ghana High Commission, London as its first Defence Adviser, a position he held for two years before going into exile. Following the coup in 1966, he returned to Accra and was appointed the National Organiser of the Workers Brigade, a role he carried out for five years until its disbandment. He was Chairman of the Ghana Legion, Chairman of the Ghana Boxing Board of Control, Vice-President of the African Boxing Union and a Member of the World Boxing Council. He acted as an adviser to Gen. Acheampong and President Limann, and was a Member of the Constitutional Assembly. In 1984, fearing for his well-being, he returned to the U.K. He had a full life and one in which he enjoyed many experiences in varying roles. The book paints an interesting picture of the Gold Coast to the modern state of Ghana and after. It encapsulates the corruption that he encountered during his life time, and also the ever changing political scene which frustrated him and of which he became a victim of on numerous occasions.
