This is the first comprehensive study of Hadendowa Beja pastoralism
in Sinkat Province, Eastern Suda. The book discusses the effects of
the drought in the 1980s and shows the strategies for survival and
for pastoral rehabilitation. The various chapters deal with the
effects of drought and of human activities on the natural
environment; how pastoral migration patterns were affected and how
links to commodity and labour markets aggravated the effects of
drought; socio-cultural changes are dealt with as well, following
increased interaction between regional populations. The final
chapter discusses planning problems in the region and argues that
in areas such as the Red Sea Hills, the recurrent pastoral
disasters cannot be blamed only on the pastoralists and their
activities, but must be related to wider economic and political
contexts, in which the pastoral groups are becoming increasingly
marginalised. The book is based on material from the Red Sea Area
Programme, a joint research venture between the universities of
Khartoum and Bergen.
This book is a reprint of the fourth edition, published in 1989, of
the Textbook of Pollen Analysis and is unique in its approach as it
discusses both the practical and theoretical aspects of palynology.
It uses palynological techniques as tools for solving problems in
quaternary geology, ecology and archeology. This edition of this
standard reference has the same objectives as the earlier ones but
the objectives have been widened, particularly the archaeological.
There are over 130 illustrations and the identification keys have
been thoroughly revised and are now illustrated. "Will certainly
benefit all in understanding the principles of pollen analysis. All
students, palynologists and libraries should have it as a text book
for reference." Marine Geology "Classic and much-used text book ...
will remain an indispensable book for those interested in
paleoecology and practicing pollen analysis." The New Phycologist
"Unsurpassed in its restriction to basic principles, breadth of
coverage, clarity of expression and emphasis on ecology." Review of
Paleobotany and Palynology
