Knowledge, Productivity, and Innovation in Nigeria
Nigeria has a bold national vision of becoming one of the world s top 20 economies by 2020. However, despite being the 8th most populous country in the world, it ranks 41st in terms of GDP and 161st in terms of GDP per capita. Nigeria has long depended on oil for its exports and government revenues. This dependence has led to rent seeking and a reluctance to examine potential avenues for economic diversification. The authors of 'Knowledge, Productivity, and Innovation in Nigeria' believe that the goal of becoming a top-twenty economy can only be achieved if Nigeria makes the transition to a new economy rooted in the 21st century that harnesses the power of knowledge and avoids a static oil-b...

Africa's Fourth Industrial Revolution
Examines the meaning, drivers, and implications of the growth of new technologies, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution for Africa.
Africa: Still Rising?
After decades of unsatisfying performances, economic growth took off in many sub-Saharan states at the beginning of the 21st century. More recently, however, the end of the commodity cycle – particularly with the oil price drop – and the rise of jihadist violence rocked the “Emerging Africa” boat. Is this the beginning of the end for sustained growth in the region? This Report investigates the economic impact of these new challenges upon Africa’s frontier markets. It shows that the positive economic trajectory of recent years is being negatively affected, particularly for oil-exporting countries. However, while more caution is needed, Africa’s growth prospects on the whole remain fairly good – at least for now. But there is an increasing need to understand the specific risks that individual countries face and the opportunities that they offer, as well as to re-assess the potential of each specific sector of economic activity. The three largest economies in the region – Nigeria, South Africa and Angola – are all under pressure. Others, including Ethiopia, Mozambique and Kenya, are still projected to achieve remarkable growth rates.
Dédale et Icare
Voler, à s’en brûler les ailes Quelque temps après avoir été couronné roi de Crète, Minos ordonne à Dédale de construire le Labyrinthe pour y enfermer le monstre à qui sa femme a donné le jour. Mais lorsqu’il apprend que l’architecte l’a trahi en permettant la fuite de sa fille Arianne, il décide de l’enfermer dans sa propre création en compagnie de son fils, Icare, condamnés à errer jusqu’à la mort dans la prison la plus élaborée jamais conçue. L’ingénieux Dédale a pourtant une idée géniale : s’envoler à l’aide de plumes collées sur leur dos. Mais avant cela, il met en garde Icare : ne pas voler trop près du soleil, sous peine de se brûler les ailes...
The Medici Conspiracy
The story begins, as stories do in all good thrillers, with a botched robbery and a police chase. Eight Apuleian vases of the fourth century B.C. are discovered in the swimming pool of a German-based art smuggler. More valuable than the recovery of the vases, however, is the discovery of the smuggler's card index detailing his deals and dealers. It reveals the existence of a web of tombaroli -- tomb raiders -- who steal classical artifacts, and a network of dealers and smugglers who spirit them out of Italy and into the hands of wealthy collectors and museums. Peter Watson, a former investigative journalist for the London Sunday Times and author of two previous expos's of art world scandals,...
Scientific Advances in Reconstructive Urology and Tissue Engineering
Scientific Advances in Reconstructive Urology and Tissue Engineering is a comprehensive overview of reconstructive urology that spans male and female, pediatric, neuro-urology and trauma. Traditionally, this field has been focused solely on surgical principles with little attention to basic and translational research. However, recent advances in acellular matrices, scaffolds, stem cells and tissue engineering have changed this focus. This publication is the perfect bridge and definitive tome of the advances that will move the translational and basic science of reconstructive urology forward and allow readers to implement the findings in clinical practice. Through the use of both current case...
Ethnicity and Nationalism in Italian Politics
This work examines the rise of new parties in Northern Italy claiming self-government upon the basis of a national and cultural distinctive North. By all accounts "peripheral" nationalism is an old and political conflict, but it is also a political breakthrough, a product of contemporary trends.
