Population and Overcrowding (Africa: Progress and Problems)
by Tunde ObadinaAfrica is the worlds poorest continent, and it also has the worlds fastest-growing population. Many observers have concluded that overpopulation is a root cause of Africas poverty, and that if the continent is ever to emerge from underdevelopment its rapid population growth will have to be slowed. This book examines those assertions, offering a wealth of statistical and other evidence to suggest that the link between African poverty and the size of Africas population is by no means definitive. The book also examines the important demographic trendssuch as rapid urbanization, elevated mortality rates from the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and continued high fertilitythat will help shape African societies in the decades to come.
Por conta própria
by P. D. Workman Juliano Timbó MartinsPOR CONTA PRÓPRIA Justine é louca? Todos acham que sim... Sua mãe. Os garotos da escola, os professores e os coordenadores também. Até os policiais que a pegam vagueando no meio da noite - e talvez principalmente eles. O psicólogo de Justine diz que ela é 'problemática', mas isso significa a mesma coisa. Ele acredita que os pesadelos vívidos e recorrentes dela, além do seu comportamento agressivo, apontam para algum trauma do passado; mas Emy, a mãe de Justine, não consegue explicar isso. Antes Justine tinha Christian, seu melhor amigo e parceiro de skate. Ele era o único que a aceitava. Talvez por que andar de skate seja o único momento em que Justine é realmente livre para ser ela mesma. Agora que Christian se foi... Justine tem o pensamento fixo de que chegou ao fundo do poço. Mesmo quando ela vê a sua vida girando num turbilhão cada vez mais fora de controle, Justine não pode desistir do seu sentimento de quem ela é - alguém muito diferente da amável filha que Emy espera que ela seja - para simplesmente se ajustar e ser feliz. Justine tem certeza de que Emy mantém em segredo a chave para quem ela realmente é. Mas, se este for o caso, Emy não quer abrir o jogo. À medida que PD Workman o leva para dentro da cabeça de Justine, você começa a imaginar o que, de fato, a faz agir da forma que age. Boa sorte, se você quiser tentar colocar o livro de lado antes de descobrir o porquê... - Tom Grusendorf, Jr. Este livro é uma história maravilhosa e repleta de reviravoltas... que vai fazê-lo continuar virando as páginas até altas horas da madrugada. O final vai surpreendê-lo. Uma história incrível. - Linda S. Nascida e criada em Alberta, P.D. Workman escreve instigantes livros de ficção dos gêneros de jovens adultos e suspense sobre doenças mentais, vício e abuso.

Por mí misma
by Florencia Lavorato P. D. WorkmanNo puedes escaparte de quién eres en realidad. ¿Está loca, Justine? Todos parecen pensarlo... Su madre. Los chicos en la escuela, y los maestros y administradores también. Incluso la policía, que la recoge de sus paseos nocturnos. Quizás ellos más que nadie. Su terapeuta alega que tiene 'problemas', pero todo es lo mismo. Él piensa que sus vívidas y recurrentes pesadillas, y su comportamiento atroz de algún modo apuntan a algún trauma de su pasado; pero Emma, su madre, no puede explicarlo. Justine solía contar con Christian, su mejor amigo y compañero de skate. Él era el único que la aceptaba tal cual era. Quizás porque en esos momentos, sobre su skate, Justine se sentía libre para ser ella misma. Pero ahora Christian se ha ido...Justine parece pensar que las cosas no podrían ponerse peor. Aún cuando su vida gira más y más fuera de control, Justine no puede renunciar a sí misma -alguien completamente diferente a la amorosa hija que Emma espera que sea- a encajar y ser feliz. Está segura de que Emma tiene la llave de su identidad. Pero si es así, no está hablando. --Este libro es una maravillosa historia repleta de giros y vueltas...te mantendrá pasando las páginas hasta altas horas de la madrugada. Un final impactante. Una historia genial. --A medida que PD Workman te sumerge dentro de la cabeza de Justine, comienzas a pensar ué es lo que hace que ella actúe de la manera en que lo hace. Buena suerte al tratar de dejar el libro hasta encontrar la razón...
