Between 1968 and 1976 the undisputed highlight of Top of the Pops
was its nubile dance troupe Pan's People. In the era before music
videos this legendary group and their choreographer Flick Colby
filled in for absent bands. In the process they become better
remembered than many of the records they danced to. Now, to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of Top of the Pops, Babs, Cherry,
Dee Dee and Ruth - the surviving members of the classic line-up -
are going to tell their remarkable story. This is a compelling,
surprising and ultimately moving memoir from eyewitnesses to the
golden age of pop music.
First published in 1982, Education in Africa offers a comprehensive
treatment of the development of education in Africa. Until now only
scattered documents on educational growth in individual countries
have been available; works devoted to Africa as a whole have tended
towards the general and have, by and large, been written by outside
observers. This book is a collection of illuminating syntheses of
major trends in educational development in Africa, by renowned
African educationists, and is the first attempt to supply the need
for a comprehensive book on African education written from an
African viewpoint. All but one of the chapters were written
specially for the book by leading African educators each of whom
has had a distinguished career and wide experience in education in
his or her own country; they represent eleven nations in all. The
volume is designed for African students, teachers and
administrators and will also be welcomed by educational planners
and by scholars working in the fields of comparative education and
the history of education. It will be of special interest to
departments, institutions and faculties of education in all the
universities and colleges of education in Africa, and to educators
and students worldwide who are concerned with comparative African
education.

Originally published in 1974, a comprehensive history of Nigerian
Education, from early times right through to the time of
publication, had long been needed by all concerned with Education
in Nigeria, students, teachers and educational administrators. No
one was better qualified than Professor Fafunwa to provide such a
book, and in doing so he gave due emphasis to the beginnings of
Education in its three main stages of indigenous, Muslim and
Christian Education. Nigerian Education had been considered all too
often as a comparatively recent phenomenon, but this book points
out from the start that 'Education is as old as Man himself in
Africa' and that both Islam and Christianity were comparative
newcomers in the field. A historical treatment of these three
strands which have combined to make up the modern Educational
system was vital to a clear understanding of what was needed for
the future, and most of the first half of the book is concerned
with these Educational beginnings. The imposing of a foreign
colonial system on this framework did not always lead to a happy
fusion of the systems, and the successes and the failures are
examined in detail. There was no shortage of documentary evidence
in the form of reports and statistics during the decades prior to
publication, but this evidence was frequently scattered and
inaccessible to the student, so that the author's careful selection
of key evidence and reports, often drawn from his own personal
experience, will be invaluable for those wishing to trace the
development of Education in Nigeria up to the early 1970s. A
knowledge of the history and development of the Nigerian Education
system, of the numerous and intensely varied personalities and
beliefs which have combined and often conflicted to shape it, is
indispensable to all students in colleges and universities studying
to become teachers. It is this knowledge that Professor Fafunwa set
out to provide, drawing on his wide experience as teacher writer
and educationalist.

The Micro-Tomographic Atlas of the Mouse Skeleton provides a unique
systematic description of all calcified components of the mouse. It
includes about 200 high resolution, two and three dimensional m CT
images of the exterior and interiors of all bones and joints. In
addition, the spatial relationship of bones within complex skeletal
units is also described. The images are accompanied by detailed
explanatory text, thus highlighting special features and newly
reported structures. The Atlas fulfils an emerging need for a
comprehensive reference to assist both trained and in-training
researchers.
Principles of Bone Regeneration is a timely publication that
addresses the modern aspects of bone healing and repair. This
exciting new volume details the convergence of the different
experimental and clinical approaches designed for the study and
treatment of bone healing in its diverse forms and under varying
conditions. Bone healing is affected by a multitude of genetic,
environmental, mechanical, cellular and endocrine variables which
eventually lead to changes in gene expression that enhance the
guided action of osteoblasts (and chondroblasts) to lay down bone
that restores, or even improves, the skeletal load bearing
capacity. Recent breakthroughs in understanding the regulatory
aspects of bone formation and resorption, in both research and
clinical arenas offer new modalities to induce, enhances and guide
repair processes in bone for the benefit of millions of patients
with conditions such as nonunion fractures, critical size defects,
orthodontic tooth movement, periodontal bone loss, intraosseous
implants and deformed bones.
This edited volume explores several issues relating to parametric
segmentation including robust operations, model selection criteria
and automatic model selection, plus 2D and 3D scene segmentation.
Emphasis is placed on robust model selection with techniques such
as robust Mallows Cp, least K-th order statistical model fitting
(LKS), and robust regression receiving much attention. With
contributions from leading researchers, this is a valuable resource
for researchers and graduated students working in computer vision,
pattern recognition, image processing and robotics.

***BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2022 SHORTLISTED TITLE*** An insider's view
of the challenges that big businesses face in the developing world:
the opportunities, pitfalls, political and personal challenges
involved. Babs Omotowa has spent his life rejecting the status quo.
His own career disproves the unthinking perception that Africans
underperform in global businesses, and his insistence that issues
such as community development, corruption, transparency and
pollution belong on the corporate agenda alongside financial
targets has helped big businesses to revolutionize their approach
in the developing world. The remarkable story of 'Hurricane Babs' -
from storeroom keeper to global VP - showcases the issues that big
businesses face in developing countries and reveals how
multinational companies and leaders can best navigate these
challenges: with integrity and courage.

This work is a collection of Carl Wenicke's lectures on
neuropsychiatry translated into English for the first time.
Beginning with basic concepts about normal brain function, the book
moves to clinical topics, dealing first with chronic mental
disorders and 'paranoid states', and then to the more complex area
of acute mental disorders. Many of the featured topics are still
clinically relevant, and matters of contemporary debate. Carl
Wernicke is one of the pioneers of neurology and psychiatry;
clinicians, researchers and historians will find this of great
interest.
This Handbook provides solutions to the fundamental issues
associated with wells and reservoirs experiencing sanding problems,
especially in deepwater environments. Sand Management is a massive
challenge for the petroleum industry as it extends its exploration
activities to new frontiers. Challenging ultra deepwater, High
Pressure-High Temperature (HP-HT) and Arctic environments require
engineers to drill more complex wells and manage more complex
reservoirs, the majority of which are prone to massive sand
production. Covering such fundamentals as how to maximize
individual wells and field development performance, as well as how
to minimize operational cost, non-productive time and guarantee
flow assurance across the entire composite production system from
reservoirs through the wellbore to the topside and flow lines, this
handbook explains that the biggest challenge facing operators is
the shortage of sand management personnel and helps companies
realize the value of their assets.
