This book examines the historical and current state of health and the health of the African people, including the Arab North, impacted by such factors as geography and natural elements, cultural and colonial traditions, and competing biomedical and traditional systems.

Historical Perspectives on the State of Health and Health Systems in Africa, Volume II

Mario J. Azevedo

Springer International Publishing AG
2017
sidottu
This book focuses on Africa’s challenges, achievements, and failures over the past several centuries using an interdisciplinary approach that combines theory and fact and evidence-based practices and interventions in public health, and argues that most of the health problems in Africa are not a result of scarce or lack of resources, but of the misconceived and misplaced priorities that have left the continent behind every other on the globe in terms of health, education, and equitable distribution of opportunities and access to (quality) health as agreed by the United Nations member states at Alma-Ata in 1978.

Historical Dictionary of Chad

Historical Dictionary of Chad

Mario J. Azevedo; Samuel Decalo

Rowman Littlefield
2018
sidottu
Having achieved its independence from France in 1960, Chad has run into a serious crises of national building, which have continued to haunt it to the present day, making it one of the poorest and most politically unstable countries on the globe. Chad is a country with sharp geographic and climatic contrasts that puzzle and fascinate the visitor, displaying first a monotonous but majestic portion of the Saharan Desert in the north, punctuated by plains and high altitudes displayed by the Tibesti mountains, where the highest point, Emi Koussi, reaches 11,204 ft.; the middle Central Sahelian zone, where pastoral transhumance lifestyle predominates but where and nut cultivation and harvesting is possible; and an endowed southern tropical zone where the forest and the savanna meet, blessed by several long-running rivers, most notably, the Logone and the Chari that empty their waters into centuries-old Lake Chad. Even though things in Chad seem to have improved during the past 10 years, most observers agree that the path to peace, reconstruction, and economic progress is still long and arduous. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Chad contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Chad.

Global Themes in World History since 1500 provides students with a concise, thematic approach to world history with emphasis on topics and themes representative of global patterns across time.

Throughout, students are provided with primary sources, discussion questions, images, timelines, glossary terms, and suggested additional readings and media to deepen the learning experience.An engaging, diverse, and accessible text, Global Themes in World History since 1500 is well suited to undergraduate courses in modern world history.

Pickles and Tarts

Pickles and Tarts

Mario J Savioni

"Pickles and Tarts" is a metaphor for men and women. "Tarts" are defined as "a dish baked in a pastry shell" (Merriam-Webster), but it can also be "a promiscuous woman: a woman who has many sexual partners, a prostitute," which is something the young woman, who picked an older man on a dating site, says in the story.

Escaping Paternalism

Escaping Paternalism

Mario J. Rizzo; Glen Whitman

Cambridge University Press
2019
sidottu
The burgeoning field of behavioral economics has produced a new set of justifications for paternalism. This book challenges behavioral paternalism on multiple levels, from the abstract and conceptual to the pragmatic and applied. Behavioral paternalism relies on a needlessly restrictive definition of rational behavior. It neglects nonstandard preferences, experimentation, and self-discovery. It relies on behavioral research that is often incomplete and unreliable. It demands a level of knowledge from policymakers that they cannot reasonably obtain. It assumes a political process largely immune to the effects of ignorance, irrationality, and the influence of special interests and moralists. Overall, behavioral paternalism underestimates the capacity of people to solve their own problems, while overestimating the ability of experts and policymakers to design beneficial interventions. The authors argue instead for a more inclusive theory of rationality in economic policymaking.

Mario J. Lanza

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
"Mario Lanza is one of the most astute students of the show." -Survivor: Fiji contestant Yau-Man Chan "I've read Mario's works for many years and consider him one of the foremost Survivor experts in the world." -Survivor: Amazon contestant Rob Cesternino "I think Mario needs to get a life." -Survivor: Micronesia contestant/crazy person Kathy Sleckman Mario Lanza has been one of the most popular Survivor columnists on the internet for more than fifteen years. His website that counts down the funniest moments in Survivor history, The Funny 115, to this day still has more than half a million readers. He is also the creator and one of the hosts of the popular long running podcast, The Survivor Historians. In this unique (and often irreverent) set of memoirs, Mario talks about how he got roped into the world of writing about Survivor, and what it is like to live your life as a popular internet writer. He also delves into more than seventy different essays about the history of the show, with an emphasis on the players and the events that made up the first three seasons of the historic Survivor franchise. He also makes his case for who he thinks should be inducted into the "real" Survivor Hall of Fame. No matter how much you think you know about the show, reading this book will make you into a smarter Survivor fan. Including a foreword by Rob Cesternino.
