This book provides a new inter-disciplinary look at the practice and policies of conservation in Africa. Bringing together social scientists, anthropologists and historians with biologists for the first time, the book sheds some light on the previously neglected but critically important social aspects of conservation thinking. To date conservation has been very much the domain of the biologist, but the current ecological crisis in Africa and the failure of orthodox conservation policies demand a radical new appraisal of conventional practices. This new approach to conservation, the book argues, cannot deal simply with the survival of species and habitats, for the future of African wildlife is intimately tied to the future of African rural communities. Conservation must form an integral part of future policies for human development. The book emphasises this urgent need for a complementary rather than a competitive approach. It covers a wide range of topics important to this new approach, from wildlife management to soil conservation and from the Cape in the nineteenth century to Ethiopia in the 1980s. It is essential reading for all those concerned about people and conservation in Africa.

Corgis, often considered a smaller breed, are actually medium-sized dogs with a rich history as hardworking companions. Related to Dachshunds, they possess more energy than one might expect from their size and have a sharp intellect, especially when food is involved. Originating in Wales, they were bred for various farm tasks, including herding and pest control. While not as energetic as larger breeds, Corgis are far from sedentary. They exhibit a charming independence, often doing things their way, and can be mischievous, cleverly hiding their antics from owners. There are two types of Welsh Corgis: the Pembroke and the Cardigan. The Pembroke is more popular, known for its friendly and affectionate nature, while the Cardigan tends to be quieter and more reserved, often suspicious of strangers. However, each Corgi is unique, and personality traits can vary widely regardless of type. Easily recognized by their long backs, short legs, and fox-like faces topped with large ears, Corgis are a delightful breed. They are suitable for first-time dog owners and provide a rewarding challenge for those interested in training. With their friendly demeanor and adaptability, Corgis make excellent companions for a wide range of people.

La 4e de couverture indique : Cet ouvrage, à la fois complet et concis, a pour objectif d'offrir aux étudiants de 1er cycle des filières économiques, commerciales une introduction conceptuelle aux statistiques et à leurs applications. L'ouvrage comporte treize chapitres traitant de façon simple et claire les sujets majeurs en statistiques, de l'analyse des données à l'analyse de la régression simple et multiple, en passant par la théorie probabiliste, les méthodes d'échantillonnage, l'estimation par intervalle et les tests d'hypothèses. La compréhension des concepts statistiques présentés dans cet ouvrage ne requiert aucun outil mathématique autre que la connaissance de l'algèbre. L'un des atouts de cet ouvrage est son orientation clairement affichée vers l'application concrète des statistiques au travers d'exemples récents issus du monde économique réel, illustrant les concepts statistiques présentés dans chaque chapitre ou encore au travers d'exercices fondés sur des données réelles. L'objectif de cette démarche est de montrer aux étudiants comment les statistiques participent à la prise de décision quasi-quotidienne dans les entreprises. L'accent est mis sur l'utilisation pratique des différents outils statistiques, grâce à la présentation des techniques de programmation sous trois logiciels : Excel 2013, StatTools et Minitab.
