Reply of the Portuguese Government to the Case in Support of the Claim of Great Britain to the Island of Bolama on the Western Coast of Africa
The United States had been asked to adjudicate between Britain and Portugal in the dispute between these two countries over the ownership of the island of Bolama, now part of Guinea-Bissau. This is the Portuguese government's statement of its case. In 1870 the United States commission of adjudication, chaired by Ulysses S. Grant, awarded Bolama to Portugal.

Africa Yearbook Volume 14
The Africa Yearbook covers major domestic political developments, the foreign policy and socio-economic trends in sub-Sahara Africa – all related to developments in one calendar year. The Yearbook contains articles on all sub-Saharan states, each of the four sub-regions (West, Central, Eastern, Southern Africa) focusing on major cross-border developments and sub-regional organizations as well as one article on continental developments and one on African-European relations. While the articles have thorough academic quality, the Yearbook is mainly oriented to the requirements of a large range of target groups: students, politicians, diplomats, administrators, journalists, teachers, practitioners in the field of development aid as well as business people.
Creolization and Pidginization in Contexts of Postcolonial Diversity
This book deals with creolization and pidginization of language, culture and identity and makes use of interdisciplinary approaches developed in the study of the latter. Creolization and pidginization are conceptualized and investigated as specific social processes in the course of which new common languages, socio-cultural practices and identifications are developed under distinct social and political conditions and in different historical and local contexts of diversity. The contributions show that creolization and pidginization are important strategies to deal with identity and difference in a world in which diversity is closely linked with inequalities that relate to specific group memberships, colonial legacies and social norms and values.
Catalogue of the Smaller Arachnid Orders of the World
This authoritative catalogue will greatly assist readers in finding the correct taxonomic name for any given family, genus or species within each of the six arachnid orders treated. It contains a valuable summary of bibliographic information, enabling readers to access the worldwide literature for these smaller orders. The catalogue presents full bibliographic data on each of the taxa named thus far, treating over 1600 species. It contains the most current classification system for each group, some of which have not been catalogued on a world scale for over 70 years. A summary of taxonomic changes is included. This quality reference will be of immense value to arachnologists, systematists, taxonomists, ecologists and biodiversity professionals, especially those interested in tropical rainforest communities.

Western Africa and Cabo Verde, 1790s-1830s
'Western Africa and Cabo Verde, 1790s-1830s; Symbiosis of Slave and Legitimate Trades' addresses the collaboration of slave traders and shipmasters engaged in legitimate commerce. This monograph is the third volume of a trilogy treating the history of western Africa from the 11th to the 19th centuries. It follows 'Landlords and Strangers; Ecology, Society, and Trade in Western Africa, 1000-1630' (Westview Press 1993) and 'Eurafricans in Western Africa; Commerce, Social Status, Gender, and Religious Observance from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century' (Ohio University Press, 2003). All three monographs describe commercial, social, and cultural links between the Cape Verde archipelago, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, and Sierra Leone.
Administrative Subdivisions of Countries
In marked contrast to the United States, with its territorial stability, some countries, such as Bulgaria and Ethiopia, reorganize their regional subdivisions frequently. This large-format reference work simplifies the comparison of decades' worth of data from such countries: "With this book in hand, one can answer any administrative subdivision question about any state or province in the world from 1900 through 1998"--Abstracts of Public Administration, Development and Environment. For each country there is at least one table, and usually several. Histories of subdivision changes and lists of alternate names for subdivisions in each country add to the work's research value. All relevant national and international standards such as ISO and FIPS codes are listed, as well as time zones, populations, areas and capitals for each subdivision. There is a comprehensive index of names.
