The complex and dynamic interlinks between natural resource management (NRM) and development have long been recognized by national and international research and development organizations and have generated voluminous literature. However, much of what is available in the form of university course books, practical learning manuals and reference materials in NRM is based on experiences from outside Africa. Managing Natural Resources for Development in Africa: A Resource Book provides an understanding of the various levels at which NRM issues occur and are being addressed scientifically, economically, socially and politically. The book's nine chapters present state-of-the-art perspectives withi...

Two rival companies battled for the attention of the colourful financier, Robert Friedland, who controlled Voisey's Bay. The winner was the International Nickel Company (Inco) Ltd. In 1996, Inco confidently predicted th...
