Over the past four decades, policy makers and stakeholders have struggled with the challenge of promoting industrial development in low and middle-income economies in general, and in sub-Saharan African (SSA) in particular. With the rise of the Asian Drivers (China and India) and their increase in demand for raw materials to fuel growth, the turn of the millennium saw a commodity price super-cycle emerge, benefiting a number of resource rich countries in SSA. Faced with the specter of the Resource Curse, this book examines an industrial pathway where countries can Make the Most of Commodities. Bringing together ground-breaking research in the commodity sectors, this book uses case-studies to explore conduits for industrial development, focusing on backward and forward linkages, with policy advice for both governments and corporate sectors.

Through a series of short stories â stories beginning at his birth â Mo''s lack of understanding is revealed as he goes from school to school â ten before starting the 11th grade. His dull understanding of all things attributes to Mo''s dark side flourishing and he soon launches a war against society - particularly school and his teachers. After a very brief and unpleasant stint in the USAF, Mo encounters a Buddhist life philosophy which helps him to begin changing his life. At age 40 â when life is said to begin â in what appears to be karmic retribution, Mo becomes a middle school teacher. However, he is able to shine a light into his dark side and use what he finds there. He attempts to create value and to help himself and others. Raising his condition of life, Mo leaves the lower worlds to transform his karma â both good and bad â into a mission.

Building learning around rich, instructionally sound contexts was an overarching goal during the development of the Contexts for Learning Mathematics series. Throughout the series context is used to set the stage for learning. It establishes a terrain that will intrigue children and ignite their imaginations. The contexts are situations children can imagine - either realistic or fictional - that enable them to reflect on what they are doing and apply mathematical thinking to their own world. Contexts for investigations are typically developed with stories and pictures. These are carefully crafted to involve students in meaningful investigations of the big ideas, strategies, and models that shape mathematical thinking. * The images and texts are engaging and include age-appropriate children using mathematics to solve real-world problems. * The numbers referenced represent landmark numbers or number relationships that are significant and telling. * The models and metaphors within a context make relationships and strategies more tangible and explicit. The contexts for the five units in Investigating Fractions, Decimals, and Percents (Grades 4-6) are established through 16 vibrant posters (15"x24") that meld humor, intrigue, and good math sense.

Rather than adhering to the criteria of any one discipline''s approach to treating chronic pain, whether that of anesthesia, physical therapy, psychiatry or psychology, the editors overview a range of disciplines, and focus on the integration of those approaches to achieve what they term a "handbook", rather than a textbook, for the assessment of chronic pain from a multidisciplinary perspective. Issues confronting clinicians have been compounded by procedural problems and assessment indecision, but in Assessing Chronic Pain, Mike Morris creates a framework to guide specialists in all fields in approaching the patient suffering from chronic, non-malignant pain.
