New thinking about the management of public health services has stimulated a widespread movement for health sector reform across the world. This book examines the feasibility and desirability of common reforms in low income countries, based on in-depth case studies in Ghana, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand, and asks whether governments possess or can develop the capacities needed for these new and often complex roles. The book challenges conventional reform wisdom, and argues that reform approaches are needed that are more sensitive to the institutional characteristics of individual countries.

Feedback is a crucial concept of modern engineering, whose use has spilled over into many other disciplines. Dr Bennett traces the growing awareness of the importance and the significance of the concept of feedback in engineering and treats in detail the technical developments that contributed to his awareness. Beginning by studying the history of the control of prime movers, he examines in detail the 19th-century work on the stability problem. There follows an account of the development of steam and hydraulic servomechanisms and their application to the control of ships and aircraft.In the latter part of the book the development of electrical control systems from the arc lamp to the feedback amplifier is considered. The book ends with a brief outline of the theoretical work on circuit analysis which was to provide the background for the development that took place in the 1930s of techniques for the analysis of feedback systems.

Despite the large magnitude of the injury problem, limited attention has been paid to it, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This manual contributes to overcoming the shortfall in reliable and valid injury information by providing a methodology for collecting injury data in the community that is robust, reproducible and relatively easy. Its use would help in making the burden of injuries more visible as a public health problem. It therefore contributes to the first two steps of the public health approach in defining the size of the problem in the community and some of the risk factors.
