Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What have we learnt about the Nile since the mid-1970s, the moment when Julian Rzóska decided that the time had come to publish a comprehensive volume about the biology, and the geological and cultural history of that great river? And what changes have meanwhile occurred in the basin? The human popu- tion has more than doubled, especially in Egypt, but also in East Africa. Locally, industrial development has taken place, and the Aswan High Dam was clearly not the last major infrastructure work that was carried out. More dams have been built, and some water diversions, like the Toshka lakes, have created new expanses of water in the middle of the Sahara desert. What are the effects of all this on the ec- ogy and economy of the Basin? That is what the present book sets out to explore, 33 years after the publi- tion of “The Nile: Biology of an Ancient River”. Thirty-seven authors have taken up the challenge, and have written the “new” book. They come from 13 different countries, and 15 among them represent the largest Nilotic states (Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Kenya). Julian Rzóska died in 1984, and most of the - authors of his book have now either disappeared or retired from research. Only Jack Talling and Samir Ghabbour were still available to participate again.
Download or read book The Nile Basin written by Martin Williams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nile Basin contains a record of human activities spanning the last million years. However, the interactions between prehistoric humans and environmental changes in this area are complex and often poorly understood. This comprehensive book explains in clear, non-technical terms how prehistoric environments can be reconstructed, with examples drawn from every part of the Nile Basin. Adopting a source-to-sink approach, the book integrates events in the Nile headwaters with the record from marine sediment cores in the Nile Delta and offshore. It provides a detailed record of past environmental changes throughout the Nile Basin and concludes with a review of the causes and consequences of plant and animal domestication in this region and of the various prehistoric migrations out of Africa into Eurasia and beyond. A comprehensive overview, this book is ideal for researchers in geomorphology, climatology and archaeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The supply and management of fresh water for the world’s billions of inhabitants is likely to be one of the most daunting challenges of the coming century. For countries that share river basins with others, questions of how best to use and protect precious water resources always become entangled in complex political, legal, environmental, and economic considerations. This book focuses on the issues that face all international river basins by examining in detail the Nile Basin and the ten countries that lay claim to its waters. John Waterbury applies collective action theory and international relations theory to the challenges of the ten Nile nations. Confronting issues ranging from food security and famine prevention to political stability, these countries have yet to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of how to manage the Nile’s resources. Waterbury proposes a series of steps leading to the formulation of environmentally sound policies and regulations by individual states, the establishment of accords among groups of states, and the critical participation of third-party sources of funding like the World Bank. He concludes that if there is to be a solution to the dilemmas of the Nile Basin countries, it must be based upon contractual understandings, brokered by third-party funders, and based on the national interests of each basin state. “This excellent book makes a significant contribution to the rational discussion of Nile conflicts and should be helpful to many of the other 282 international river basins facing similar problems.”—Peter P. Rogers, Harvard University

Book Synopsis The Upper Nile Province Handbook by : C. A. Wills
Download or read book The Upper Nile Province Handbook written by C. A. Wills and published by Africa World Books Pty Limited. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE UPPER NILE PROVINCE HANDBOOKA Report on Peoples and Government in the Southern Sudan, 1931 compiled by C.A. Willis edited byDouglas H. JohnsonThis account of what used to be one of Sudan's remotest provinces provides the historical context forthe early classics of British social anthropology. It contains descriptions of local life by some of thefirst British officials to become conversant in the languages of the Dinka, Nuer, Shilluk and Anuak ? ata time when the anthropologist, E.E. Evans-Pritchard's fieldwork in the province had only just begun.It also includes documentation on the origins of the Jonglei Canal, one of the most controversialenvironmental engineering projects in modern Africa. With many of the region's previousgovernmental structures now obliterated by war, this record of the beginnings of civil administrationwill be of immense value to South Sudanese and the new nation of South Sudan.'While some of the detail of the Handbook'will appeal only to very dedicated Sudan experts, the textas a whole has a much wider colonial significance. It replicates, on a grand scale, many of the featuresof the (unpublished) District Books and handing-over notes of other colonial territories. Reading theHandbook reminds one of just how much British administration depended on the collection, collationand even the manufacture of information about the peoples over which it ruled'.The key documentswhich contain the ethnography of administrators and on which historians rely for their analyses aretoo rarely available outside the archives. We all owe a debt to Johnson and the British Academy formaking the handbook available, not merely as a source but also as a memorial to a world whosecontradictions remain even while its substance is fast being overlaid or destroyed by forces moreruthless than amateur ethnographers and ex-military administrators.'

Book Synopsis The Nile Development Game by : Mina Michel Samaan
Download or read book The Nile Development Game written by Mina Michel Samaan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-30 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces an analytic framework constructed upon the iterated Prisoners' Dilemma game to model and analyze transboundary water interactions along the Nile River. It presents a thorough and in-depth analysis of the historical path through which conflict and cooperation have been generated among the Nile riparians over large-scale developmental schemes. This is done through modeling water interactions in the basin as an iterated Prisoners' Dilemma game and employing process-tracing method to compare four distinguishable rounds of the game: the colonial round, the Cold War round, the post-Cold War round, and the post-2011 round. The book examines the influences of the changing political contexts at the domestic, regional, and global levels on the game outcomes. This framework is initially applied on several cases of international rivers worldwide, while the rest of the book is devoted to the Nile case. The book's central argument is that the riparians' interests, capabilities, and beliefs are heterogeneous in varying degrees and that the changing multilevel political contexts influence the level of such heterogeneities among the riparians, which ultimately drive the equilibrium dynamics in the Nile game to generate different conflictive and cooperative outcomes over time. Although the book's main conclusion indicates that the absence of economic interdependence and regional integration will transfer the game into tug-of-war, which will impose harsh punishment on the basin communities and ecosystems on the long term, the final chapter lists a group of recommendations addressed to the riparian states and international donors, exploring the way for boosting cooperation and preventing conflicts in the basin. Presenting clear theoretical, methodological, and policy implications, this book is appropriate for students and scholars of international relations, hydrology, and development studies.
Book Synopsis Sudan, Oil, and Human Rights by : Jemera Rone
Download or read book Sudan, Oil, and Human Rights written by Jemera Rone and published by Human Rights Watch. This book was released on 2003 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty years, southern Sudan has been the site of a tragic and brutal civil war, pitting the northern-based Arab and Islamic government against rebels in African marginalized areas, especially the south. More than two million people have died and four million have been displaced as a result. In 1999, anew element radically changed the war: Sudanese oil, located in the south, was firs exported by the central government. The human price of this bonanza is immeasurable. The government, using oil revenues and aided by co-opted southerners, rained a scorched earth campaign of mass displacement, bombing, and terror on the agro-pastoral southern civilians living in and near the oil zones. The displaced number in the hundreds of thousands.
