| adam_text | HAVE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
CAUSED MORE PROBLEMS THAN
THEY HAVE SOLVED IN
TROPICAL AFRICA?
Tropical Africa is a complex and dynamic region. Occupying
a marginal position in the world economic system, the region
has seemingly insurmountable problems.
This book breaks through the complexities with a straightfor-
ward and systematic text supported by concise case studies.
Covering such topics as population, environment and rural
and urban Africa, it builds from an historical base to an
understanding of present day patterns and processes and an
assessment of future priorities and development strategies.
Tropical Africa will prove an invaluable resource for those
embarking on the study of this fascinating region.
Tony Binns is Lecturer in Geography at the University of
Sussex.
