The growing global demand for food, feed and bio-based renewable
material is changing the conditions for agricultural production
worldwide. At the same time, revolutionary achievements in the
field of biosciences are contributing to a transition whereby
bio-based alternatives for energy and materials are becoming more
competitive. Creating Sustainable Bioeconomies explores the
prospects for biosciences and how its innovation has the potential
to help countries in the North (Europe) and the South (Africa) to
move towards resource efficient agriculture and sustainable
bioeconomies. Throughout the book, the situations of Europe and
Sub-Saharan Africa will be compared and contrasted, and
opportunities for mutual learning and collaboration are explored.
The chapters have been written by high profile authors and deal
with a wide range of issues affecting the development of
bioeconomies on both continents. This book compares and contrasts
the situations of these two regions as they endeavour to develop
knowledge based bioeconomies. This volume is suitable for those who
are interested in ecological economics, development economics and
environmental economics. It also provides action plans assisting
policy-makers in both areas to support the transition to knowledge
based and sustainable bioeconomies.

The growing geriatric population in the United States has created
an increasing need for palliative medicine services across the
range of medical and surgical specialties. Yet, palliative medicine
lacks the resources to carry such a workload itself. Geriatric
Palliative Care addresses this need by encouraging individual
specialties to "own" the management of elderly with the same vigor
as they "own" other key management competencies within their
specialty. This clinically focused and highly practical handbook,
which compliments the more comprehensive text Geriatric Palliative
Care by Sean Morrison and Diane Meier (Oxford University Press,
2003), encourages this process of learning and ownership across
many medical specialties. Designed to be readable and easily
accessible to a range of health care providers, Geriatric
Palliative Care outlines specific strategies for caring for
specific palliative care issues common in elderly patients. The
handbook also provides evidence based advice for helping patients,
relatives, and staff cope with such issues as polypharmacy,
dementia and consent, multiple pathologies, home care, elderly
caregivers, and supporting the elderly in the place where they
would like to be.
Moving On bristles with the talent of writers from Zimbabwe. This
collection brings together twenty of Zimbabwe's finest
storytellers, from within the country and without. Many of the
characters in this anthology are themselves moving on: from the
chains of the past, from the loss of loved ones, from long-held
beliefs. Some from life itself and others to a brighter future.
Between the covers the reader will encounter the father who uses
his take on democracy to name the family dog, the villager who
desperately waits for shoes and salt to ward off witchcraft, the
young man who flees with the book, the boys who hide from the big
noise, and a host of other characters.

From survivor of genocide to conservation hero: A moving,
heartwarming memoir about a real-life chimpanzee whisperer-now the
subject of the award-winning documentary film Pant Hoot. Stany
Nyandwi's gift for communicating with chimpanzees is so special
that world-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall has called him a
"chimpanzee whisperer." His skills and devotion to these
creatures-our closest living relatives, with whom we share 98.7
percent of our DNA-have earned him international awards and sent
him on travels within Africa and around the world. But he began
life in poverty, born and raised in a dirt-floor, straw-roofed hut
in rural Burundi. The Chimpanzee Whisperer is the story of his
astonishing life journey. It is also an African story. Receiving
only an elementary education before he quit school, he suffered
injustice and tragic loss because of his ethnic group. He began
caring for orphaned and rescued chimps in Burundi. When the country
descended into civil war and genocide, he was forced to flee with
the chimps and endured long separation from his family. Continuing
to work with and learn about chimpanzees in Kenya, Uganda, and
later South Africa, he made himself into an incomparable authority.
His memoir has adventure, danger, and many unique and touching
stories about chimpanzees that show his bond with and understanding
of them. As told to award-winning author David Blissett, it reveals
a remarkable man who has refused to let circumstances defeat him.
Conditioned by hate, wounded by loss, he has lived for love, faith,
and compassion, giving new life, as Dr. Jane Goodall writes in her
foreword, "to so many chimpanzees whose families, like his own,
were torn apart by violence."
Meet the prostitute who gets the better of her brothers when they
try to marry her off, the wife who is absolved of adultery, the
hero who drowns in a bowser of cheap beer, the poetry slammer who
doesn't get to perform his final poem, and many more. The writing
in this collection of short stories from Zimbabwe, edited by Jane
Morris, is at times dark, at times laced with comedy. Set against
the backdrop of Zimbabwe's 'lost decade' of rampant inflation,
violence, economic collapse and the flight of many of its citizens,
its people are left to wonder - Where to now?
Bringing together the ideas of experts from around the world, this
incisive text offers cutting-edge perspectives on the risk analysis
and governance of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), supporting
effective and informed decision-making in developing countries.
Comprised of four comprehensive sections, this book covers:
integrated risk analysis and decision making, giving an overview of
the science involved and examining risk analysis methods that
impact decision-making on the release of GMOs, particularly in
developing countries; diversification of expertise involved in risk
analysis and practical ways in which the lack of expertise in
developing countries can be overcome; risk analysis based
regulatory systems and how they can be undermined by power
relationships and socio-political interests, as well as strategies
for improving GMO policy development and regulatory
decision-making; and case studies from developing countries
providing lessons based on real-world experience that can inform
our current thinking.
The short stories and poems in this collection were written by
students at King George VI School and centre for physically
disabled children in Zimbabwe's second city, Bulawayo. HIV and AIDS
have had a devastating effect on all the communities of Zimbabwe,
and those with disabilities have not been exempt from the effects
of the virus, as is reflected in many of the pieces in this
collection. The book clearly demonstrates both the talent of the
students and their concern about the issues facing their community
and wider society. Some of the stories and poems tell the stories
of their lives, some come straight from their imagination, and some
simply speak of their dreams for a better future.
