Liberian Child in Exile
This book is entirely a work of fiction. In this sense, it completely reflects a figment of my imagination and not much more. However, the places named in the book are real. While some of the events mentioned in the story may tend to loosely mimic aspects of reality, they do not capture those actual experiences in terms of the real settings, manners, and sequences in which they occurred. Readers should note that there are three themes that permeate this book. They are friendship, family, and the virtues of education and collaborative undertakings as higher ethical aspirations.
A Critical Examination of Firestone's Operations in Liberia
This book is about a case study of Firestone Natural Rubber Company in Liberia. In this book issues of bureaucratic corruption, ethics and social alienation are directly confronted from a case study approach. Positivist and post-positivist approaches in the framework of a mixed methodology are adopted. This approach is justified in an attempt to generate comprehensive understanding of the research problem and its likely solutions.
The Mental Health Effects of Informal Caregiving: Emerging Research and Opportunities
Because progressive advancements to healthcare practices are leading to longer lifespans, an increased number of aging individuals now require constant care from practiced caregivers. The financial costs of in-home care can be quite high; therefore, many families are opting to stand in as caregivers, and this can lead to various impacts on their own social and psychological wellbeing. The Mental Health Effects of Informal Caregiving: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides autobiographical accounts and statistical data associated with the caregiving experience, as well as the methods to discern the positive psychological forces that shape the subjective wellbeing of informal caregivers. Highlighting topics such as institutional vs. informal caregiving, special healthcare needs, and veteran care, this book is ideally designed for psychologists, therapists, researchers, medical institutions, academia, and students seeking current research on the subjective wellbeing of informal caregivers.

An Analysis of Independent Restaurants Featuring Organic Food in Metropolitan Cities in the United States
This book is about independent restaurants that feature organic food on their menus in metropolitan cities in the United States. The authors hope that the current book has encapsulated a timely scholarly analysis that sheds an important light on some of the chief factors that impinge upon the successes and failures of these niched restaurants in the conduct of their operations. Readers should note that in writing this book, our working assumption hinged upon the notion that public policy makers should seek to expand the demand and supply of organic foods to benefit all segments of society, especially those who live in what some called food deserts across metropolitan centers in the United States. In pursuing our crucial analytic objectives, we ensured that the various chapters of the book dwelled essentially on the ethical, managerial and microeconomic factors (menu categories, average cost, revenue, risk-taking, profit etc.) that affected leadership and organizational goals in the context of the independent restaurants that were sampled in the study, whose findings are reported in this book.
Promoting Dialogue and Democracy in Post Conflict Liberia
Organization of the book The book has been organized into five chapters excluding these introductory sections. One important fact to mention here is that this book is a compilation of a series of microethnographic studies about adult learning and social change in Liberia. The idea of change through open systems of thought and democratic discourse runs through the book as an organizing theme. Chapter one maintains that through critical consciousness and dialectical thought processes as posited in the field of developmental psychology, human beings can become motivated and empowered, thereby enhancing a profound process of structural and institutional change. Thus, what weaves the different se...
Universities and Conflict
This book uses a series of case studies to examine the roles played by universities during situations of conflict, peacebuilding and resistance. While a body of work dealing with the role of education in conflict does exist, this is almost entirely concerned with compulsory education and schooling. This book, in contrast, highlights and promotes the importance of higher education, and universities in particular, to situations of conflict, peacebuilding and resistance. Using case studies from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, this volume considers institutional responses, academic responses and student responses, illustrating these in chapters written by those who have had direct expe...
The Pan-African Imperative
This book argues that the principles of Pan-Africanism are more important than ever in ensuring the liberation of the people Africa, those at home and abroad, and the rapid development of the African continent. The writings and practice of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s first post-independence prime minister and president, were key in laying out a vision for post-independence Africa. Now, in an effort to counter the deluge of neo-liberal thinking that has engulfed so much of the debate on African development in recent decades, Michael Williams illuminates just how important a role an Nkrumaist intellectual framework can play in providing an accurate diagnosis of, and effective solution to, Africa’s development crisis. This is done by examining Nkrumah’s vision of the critical role Pan-Africanism must play in the development of the continent. Raising vitally important questions about Africa’s development and the quality of life of its populations, this book will be a key text for researchers of African politics, development studies, and the Pan-African movement.
