Turning Point in Africa
The Turning Point in Africa (1982) is a significant study of British colonial policy towards tropical Africa during a critical decade, from the complacent trusteeship of the inter-war years to the strategy of decolonization inaugurated after the Second World War.

Japan and the Politics of Techno-globalism
"Techno-globalism" is the term used by policymakers to describe the process of opening government and Research and Development programs to foreign participation. This book focuses on Japan's approach to techno-globalism, in particular the policies of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). It also explores the politics underlying the approach to this issue in the triad of leading R&D centers - Japan, the United States, and the European Union. The author examines various theoretical approaches to the political economy of globalization, and he describes systems of innovation in Japan, the United States, and the European Union, emphasizing research linkages among forms, national labs, and universities.
The True Story of Logan Belt (Expanded, Annotated)
By most accounts, Logan Belt was a viscious, wanton murderer whose gang terrorized southern Illinois from 1870 to 1880. In this long-out-of-print book (1888), you'll read not only the life of Logan Belt but his trial, his threats to others, his participation in the Ku Klux Klan, and his eventual assassination. Readers have been fascinated by true crime stories for centuries. This book delves deep into the life of one former Confederate who became a real outlaw and desperado. Operating from a notorious hideout called Cave-in-Rock, he and his gang avoided justice until Belt was put on trial for the murder of Doc Oldham. He was subsequently acquitted for that crime but his other deeds are recorded here as well. According to the author, Belt was "the most daring desperado ever known to civilization." Judge for yourself when you read this lively account. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

British Colonial Development Policy After the Second World War
The concept of "development" is one of the lasting legacies of the late colonial era in Africa. Taking Sukumaland in Tanzania as a reference, this book explores British colonial ideas about rural "development" and examines the results of their application after 1945. Colonial attempts to change African systems of agriculture are discussed extensively and critically assessed. Other issues like the exploitative character of British colonial development policy in the postwar period, the role of cooperatives, and the connection between development policy and decolonisation are also addressed. This book is the published version of author Rohland Schuknecht's doctoral thesis.
