"An insider traces the details of hope and ambition gone wrong in the Giant of Africa, Nigeria, Africa's most populous country. When it gained independence from Britain in 1960, hopes were high that, with mineral wealth and over 140 million people, the most educated workforce in Africa, Nigeria would become Africa s first superpower and a stabilizing democratic influence in the region. However, these lofty hopes were soon dashed and the country lumbered from crisis to crisis, with the democratic government eventually being overthrown in a violent military coup in January 1966. From 1966 until 1999, the army held onto power almost uninterrupted under a succession of increasingly authoritarian military governments and army coups. Military coups and military rule (which began as an emergency aberration) became a seemingly permanent feature of Nigerian politics. The author names names, and explores how British influence aggravated indigenous rivalries. He shows how various faction...

It's easy to be gloomy about the future prospects for the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia. This book takes a constructive look at jungle conservation, arguing that implementing economic measures that value jungle trees is the way to sustain them and their biological values. The central thesis of the book is the need to inject a dose of economic realism into a subject that has been long on superlatives and emotion, but short on commercial reality. The book sets out an argument for the management of tropical jungles founded on an economic case that in part lies in the increasing prospects of sustainable, legally verified wood production and climate change abatement carbon credit trading. It also advocates that making trees too valuable to destroy is a critical piece of the jungle survival puzzle. It advances an argument for developing economic incentives to retain healthy, functioning, viable jungle ecosystems across Southeast Asia. Such a prescription will help to create a set of...

Firstly, rates of depression and anxiety disorders are increasing, with as many as one in five people either clinically depressed or anxious at any given time.

Die bevorstehende Osterweiterung der EU stellt erneut die Frage nach der Genese Europas als eines Kulturraums historisch gewachsener Gemeinsamkeiten. In verschiedenen Wissenschaften -Geschichte, Soziologie, "area studies" u.a. - wird das Problem des "europäischen Sonderwegs" und seiner bedingenden Faktoren seit Jahrzehnten diskutiert. Michael Mitterauer entwickelt eine neue und überraschende Antwort, indem er Europa mit anderen Kulturen vergleicht - insbesondere mit dem islamischen Raum und China. Abweichend von den derzeit dominanten Lösungsangeboten des Problems führt sein Weg zu Wurzeln, die weit ins Mittelalter zurückreichen. Das Problem der europäischen Sonderentwicklung beschäftigt die Wissenschaft schon seit vielen Jahrzehnten. Warum ist es gerade in diesem Kulturraum zur Industriellen Revolution gekommen? Warum haben sich hier Kapitalismus und Kolonialismus entwickelt? Warum wurden gerade hier parlamentarisch-demokratische Systeme begründet? Das vorliegende ...

Dieses Buch hatte auch den Titel "Abenteuer des Denkens" erhalten konnen, denn in das Abenteuer, mit klarem Denken einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Welt zu werfen, entfuhrt der Autor seine Leser. Er zeigt auf, dass grundlegende Fragen der Naturwissenschaften, die heute als beantwortet gelten, oft gar keine Antwort erhalten haben, sondern lediglich im Rahmen von Modellen behandelbar wurden, die selbst sehr oft mehr Fragen aufwerfen, als sie Antworten zu geben vermogen. Der Themenkreis ist dabei weit gespannt und reicht von offenen Fragen der Physik uber aktuelle Fragen der Biologie bis hin zu Fragen der Philosophie. Und was zunachst wie eine Kritik an der speziellen Relativitatstheorie erscheint, was falsch und sinnlos ware, entpuppt sich schon bald als erfolgreicher Versuch, die wichtigsten Paradoxa im heutigen Denken des Menschen aufzulosen. Leicht gemacht wird das als Print- und Kindleversion vorliegende Denkabenteuer dadurch, dass der Autor seine Leser so fuhrt, als war...
