Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the time of Adam Smith, there has been a voluminous literature concerned with the differing wealth of nations and the variation in the nature of economic growth, and several schools of thought have held precedence at different times. The fundamental mechanisms have been regarded by some as capital accumulation and investment, and by others as entrepreneurial ability. Modern World Development, first published in 1982, shows that the length of time under consideration materially affects the relative significance assigned to the factors involved; similarly, the size of an area cannot be ignored. Through an examination of the major theories of economic growth, the role of natural resources, the core-periphery model of world development, environmental change and the concept of ‘human capital’, Professor Chisholm has written a stimulating and important book which will appeal to students of economics, history and geography.

Download or read book Health and Medical Geography in Africa written by Yemi Adewoyin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume focuses on the evolution and current state of the sub-discipline of health and medical geography in Africa. It encompasses theoretical and methodological issues as well as the current teaching and research capacities of institutions offering programs in health and medical geography in Africa. Further, the book will review the level of adoption of the sub-discipline in State policies and practice and also provide practical illustrations, with case studies, of how studies in the sub-discipline are central to the actualization of Africa's development agenda. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between health and development. Through its direct and indirect impacts on labor productivity, population health and wellbeing matter for the social and economic development of households and national economies. Yet, health is not uniform in space. And so is development. Comparatively on many health and development indicators, Africa fairs poorly. The variation in health may present as differences in the occurrence and spread of diseases, the distribution of and access to healthcare facilities, and/or in health outcomes among the population. Reasons for these variations range from biology to the population’s levels of exposure and susceptibility to elements in their environment, including the social interactions taking place within the environment. The field of health and medical geography focuses on the spatial patterns and processes underlying these variations and provides pathways for understanding and addressing them. More specifically, the sub-discipline of health and medical geography focuses on, among others, how places (their characteristics and processes that go on in them) and environmental factors underlie and/or influence disease patterns, exposure and susceptibility to diseases, health variations, health behavior, health outcomes, and the provision of and access to healthcare services. This volume documents perspectives and applications in health and medical geography in Africa for academics, students, health practitioners, and development policymakers.

Book excerpt: The idea for this book has metamorphosed from inspirations gained from my parents and personal observations of the environmental, social, economic and political transformation taking place in Ali Ogba communities spanning over several decades. The main idea of the book dates back to several decades ago when I was a young man completing field work for my research as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the B. Sc. degree in Geography at the University of Nigeria. The field work was interrupted by the Nigerian - Biafra war but resumed after the war. The original idea was developed and additions made focusing on the design of Ali Ogba communities' settlement patterns. These manuscripts were put aside while pursuing advanced degrees in the United States until the nineteen nineties when issues of Ali Ogba sustainable development occupied my thoughts especially as each passing decade brought changes in the physical, socio-cultural, political and economic environment landscapes of Ali Ogba communities. The overarching goal is to document for posterity the Ali Ogba environment and way of life in the early part of the 20th century in contrast to the Ali Ogba of today with emphasis on the changes that have occurred and what they portend for the future of Ali Ogba communities in the contexts of 21st century Nigeria and global technological advances.

Download or read book Africa in the Post-2015 Development Agenda written by Leo Charles Zulu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a multifaceted examination of Africa's development into the post-2015 global agenda from a geographical perspective. As a diversified and highly applied discipline, geography has a lot to offer to global debates, nuanced analysis of problems on and the search for innovative solutions to advance the African development agenda beyond 2015. The end of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) era and the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in September 2015 mark an important turning point for Africa and an opportune time to examine new challenges and opportunities that it faces. The regional disparities in MDG progress affirm an important geographic tenet that the unique yet internally differentiated socio-cultural, economic, political, ecological, biophysical and historical context give Africa distinctive challenges and opportunities that demand particular approaches to development. This edited book presents innovative contributions examining Africa's development performance in diverse sectors during the MDG era as a basis for understanding prospects for its development in the SDG era and beyond. It offers new and innovative study perspectives and methodological approaches on urban transformation, development financing, food security, climate change, gender equality, health, and regional integration, among other topics, and useful insights for scholars, students and development practitioners. This book was originally published as a special issue of African Geographical Review, the journal of the American Association of Geographers' Africa Specialty Group, to mark the transition from MDGs to SDGs.
