Economic Progress and Prospects in the Third World combines an
elegant and persuasive summary of development progress over the
last 40 years with detailed case studies of two major developing
countries, Nigeria and India.Beginning with an overview of changes
in development theory and practice since 1945, the book
distinguishes three main phases: the 'Golden Age' of the 1950s and
1960s, the illusory debt-led growth of the 1970s, and the 'Lost
Decade' of the 1980s. It explains how successes in some of the
earlier phases led to difficulties later on. The authors then
describe the specific ways in which these changes have affected two
nations: Nigeria, a relatively open economy, India, a relatively
closed economy. In conclusion, they draw on the lessons of global
and domestic development for a discussion of prospects in the
1990s. This important study will prove invaluable to policymakers
and economists who seek to use the experience of the past to solve
the problems of the future.
This book presents the latest research results in the area of
secure localization for both wireless mobile ad hoc networks and
wireless sensor networks. It is suitable as a text for computer
science courses in wireless systems and security. It includes
implementation studies with mica2 mote sensors. Due to the open
spectrum nature of wireless communication, it is subject to attacks
and intrusions. Hence the wireless network synchronization needs to
be both robust and secure. Furthermore, issues such as energy
constraints and mobility make the localization process even more
challenging. The book will also interest developers of secure
wireless systems.

Edited with authority by the influential and respected Stephen
Chan, this unique collection of essays gathers together for the
first time both African and Chinese perspectives on China's place
in Africa. The book starts with an excellent introductory essay
from Stephen Chan, written in his usual elegant prose and featuring
some very fresh insights organised with great clarity. Featuring
useful historical context, this brave book analyses the "moral"
aspects of the policies and ensuing migration. The book completely
undermines existing assumptions concerning Sino-African relations,
such as that Africa is of critical importance for China; that China
sees no risk in its largesse towards Africa; and that there is a
single Chinese profile/agenda. The resulting collection touches the
issue of racism but is equally about moments of pure idealism and
'romance' in Sino-African history.
