Food aid is a controversial form of development assistance and this book, first published in 1979, seeks to counter allegations from critics by taking account of both direct and indirect affects. Based on field research in Tunisia, Botswana, Upper Volta and Lesotho, it considers aid from the UK, EEC, USAID, the World Food Programme, Canada and France, and draws a number of policy-orientated conclusions about the impact of food aid on nutrition, consumer prices and agricultural production. In the light of the evidence from field studies it is shown that many of the claims advanced by food aid supporters and by critics cannot be sustained, and that the real impact of food aid is rather different from that assumed by the conventional wisdom on the subject.

The inspirational story of an ordinary man with an extraordinary amount of determination. Raised in Gary, Indiana, his only dream was to go to the University of Notre Dame. Though only 5'6" inches tall he earned nine letters in high school and graduated with honors. Rejected on three different attempts to get into ND, he finally gets in on a probationary basis. He walks onto the golf team, earns four letters and sets the course record of 64 that still stands. His life gets more amazing from there and it reads like a combination of Rudy, Forrest Gump and Tuesdays With Morrie. After achieving success in the corporate world, he revives a community college outreach program in Salem, Oregon and helps more than 600 businesses. Stricken with a fatal illness he dedicates his life to raising money to find a cure. No longer able to walk or talk, he keeps inspiring all by fighting to give so that a cure may be found. A inspiring story of commitment,passion, perseverance and a love of golf, family and Notre Dame

David is eleven years old. He's a happy, healthy and affectionate boy who loves school, Disney songs and climbing trees. But he's also profoundly autistic. David can only speak a few words and is barely capable of expressing his most basic needs. He's oblivious to danger; blind to other people's emotions and deaf to their pleas. A REAL BOY is David's story. With raw honesty Christopher and Nicola Stevens lay bare their experiences, which are harrowing, humorous and inspirational.

Half the world's population speaks a language that has evolved from a single, prehistoric mother tongue. First spoken in Stone Age times, on the steppes of central Eurasia 6,500 years ago, this mother tongue spread from the shores of the Black Sea across almost all of Europe and much of Asia. It is the genetic basis of everything we speak and write today-the DNA of language. Written in Stone combines detective work, mythology, ancient history, archaeology, the roots of society, technology and warfare, and the sheer fascination of words to explore that original mother tongue, sketching the connections woven throughout the immense vocabulary of English, with some surprising results. In snappy, lively, and often very funny chapters, Written in Stone uncovers the most influential and important words used by our Neolithic ancestors and shows how they are still in constant use today-the building blocks of all our most common words and phrases.
