In this volume of the African Development Perspectives Yearbook
series, the Research Group on African Development Perspectives
investigates the impact of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) on
economic reform processes in Africa. The analysis is structured in
such a way so as to reflect the opportunities and dangers of policy
reversals in the face of the GFC. The impact of the crisis on
different types and forms of governance in the region is
considered. The first question is therefore which macro-economic
policy instruments have to be applied in order to overcome the
crisis and to continue with sustainable development. The second
question is how the GFC has affected Africa's external economic
relations and if the path of opening up to the world markets is to
be continued. The third question raised is how the crisis has
affected social cohesion, impacted poverty alleviation strategies
and the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). All
these questions are discussed in the various contributions which
comprise general studies and country case studies. The book also
looks into the role of international financial institutions during
and after the crisis. (Series: African Development Perspectives

This book reviews the growing literature that is consistent with
the hypothesis that hormones can regulate auditory physiology and
perception across a broad range of animal taxa, including humans.
Understanding how hormones modulate auditory function has far
reaching implications for advancing our knowledge in the basic
biomedical sciences and in understanding the evolution of acoustic
communication systems. A fundamental goal of neuroscience is to
understand how hormones modulate neural circuits and behavior. For
example, steroids such as estrogens and androgens are well-known
regulators of vocal motor behaviors used during social acoustic
communication. Recent studies have shown that these same hormones
can also greatly influence the reception of social acoustic
signals, leading to the more efficient exchange of acoustic
information.
This monograph extends this approach to the more general
investigation of X-lattices, and these "tree lattices" are the main
object of study. The authors present a coherent survey of the
results on uniform tree lattices, and a (previously unpublished)
development of the theory of non-uniform tree lattices, including
some fundamental and recently proved existence theorems. Tree
Lattices should be a helpful resource to researchers in the field,
and may also be used for a graduate course on geometric methods in
group theory.

The classic collection of love sonnets by Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, along with new sonnets from S. H. Bass, editor of this
Spilt Wine Book.
Perhaps it started when one of our earliest ancestors emerged from
some forgotten cave grunting praises for the juice of found grapes
gone bad. Ever since, we homo sapiens have been praising,
condemning, defending, and metaphorically using and abusing wine in
our poetry. The wine poem has been around since the inception of
verse, leaving us with a collection of poetry that represents a
virtual history of the poetic arts: from the lyrics of ancient
Greece, accompanied by the ancient lyre, to the birth of free
verse, the "prose poem" - and beyond. 160 wine poems from around
the world. "Rhyme Makers" from Anacreon to Yeats, including Charles
Baudelaire, Amy Lowell, Li Bai, Du Fu, Horace, Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Lord Byron, Ezra Pound, William
Shakespeare, Omar Khayyam, Oliver Wendall Holmes, John Keats, Paul
Laurence Dunbar, G. K. Chesterton, Robert Louis Stevenson, D. H.
Lawrence, John Milton . . . from appellations that cover our globe.
THE PERFECT GIFT for the wine enthusiast A MUST ADDITION TO ANY
WINE LIBRARY
This collection of 18 research papers, dedicated to Pierre Lelong,
describes the state of the art on representative problems of
complex analysis and geometry. The book opens with an exposition of
the achievements of Pierre Lelong on plurisubharmonic functions,
closed positive currents, and their further study by other
mathematicians. Moreover, a list of eleven open problems is given.
All other contributions contain new results related, for example,
to the following items: - Capacities, product of positive currents,
L2 extension theorems, Bergman kernels and metrics, new properties
of convex domains of finite type - Non-compact boundaries of
Levi-flat hypersurfaces of C2, compact boundary problems as
application of compactly supported measures orthogonal to
polynomials, Hartogs' theorem on some open subsets of a projective
manifold, Malgrange vanishing theorem with support conditions -
Embeddings for 3-dimensional CR-manifolds, geometrization of
hypoellipticity, stationary complex curves and complete
integrability - Regular polynomial mappings of Ck in complex
dynamics, a direct proof of the density of repulsive cycles in the
Julia set. The book is aimed at researchers and advanced graduate
students in complex and real analysis, algebraic geometry and
number theory.
