The Women And International Development Annual, Volume 2 (Women and International Development Annual, 2)

This annual series, published in co-operation with the Women in International Development Program at Michigan State University, uses a multidisciplinary approach to explore women's experiences across a wide range of geographical areas, economic sectors, and societal institutions. The articles presented in each volume synthesize a growing body of literature on key issues, suggest priorities for research, and propose changes in development policy and programming. Each volume is divided into three major sections. In the first, contributors distill and interpret research in review articles; in the second - a trend report - they provide original analysis of existing data sets; and in the final section, they analyze a specific research concern from varying perspectives.

The Women And International Development Annual, Volume 2

The field of development is subject to shifts in paradigms, and it is important to examine systematically how these are realized in actual practice. Two currently favored approaches are participation and indigenous knowledge. In this volume's collected papers, development researchers and practitioners share their ideas and experience on the different forms taken by participation and knowledge, not limited to "indigenous" knowledge, in the practice of development. The "development encounters" they describe took place in sites ranging from villages in the Amazon, India, and southern Africa to research laboratories and corporate boardrooms in central Africa, Latin America, and the United States.  This timely and grounded account of participation and knowledge in the front lines will be of interest to a range of practitioners, analysts, and students of development.

This is the ultimate style guide to 20th century dining andsocial history in the West, as reflected in popular recipes and typesof foods, what people used in the way of cutlery, tableware, and tablesettings, and trends relating to styles of dining (picnics,smorgasbords, etc.). The book is divided into decades -each decade is represented by a separate chapter. The text describesparticular political and social events of each decade that influencedthefood and dining styles popular in that period. These coverglassware, cutlery, crockery, and to some extent furniture andtextiles. There is information about which companies and designers werein vogue, and interesting magazine and newspaper advertisements fromthe time also feature. The result is a book which works on two levels - firstly as a glossy historical overview of the time, and secondly as a reference book to design icons of the period.It provides a fascinating and unique angle on social history, combinedwith a slice of 'retro' nostalgia, and will be an inspirational andinformative guide for social historians, students and collectors.International in scope, this book will be a visual delight for anyoneinterested in western design in general.

This text presents recent advances in important areas of mucosal immunology, with special emphasis on the interactions of lymphoid and epithelial cells. The first of two sections reviews basic knowledge of the intestinal immune system, giving detailed information on the close interplay of enterocytes and lymphocytes in the transport of immunoglobulins, absorption, processing and presentation of antigens, and regulation of epithelium renewal by growth factors. The second section applies these new insights to knowledge of pathogenesis and treatment of a number of disease states which are sustained by an aberrant immune response at mucosal sites.
