A Tale of a Man, a Worm and a Snail
Schistosomiasis is Africa's second most common parasitic disease. Less than 20 years ago, over 200 million were infected. In many high-risk areas the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI) has been helping to tackle the disease by offering treatments to millions of children. This book tells the story of a man, Alan Fenwick, who founded the SCI to control the worms and snails and so improve the lives of many burdened with the disease as well as reducing the numbers infected. Over this period SCI and the Ministries of Health and Education in 16 countries delivered over 220 million treatments. Treatment coverage of up to 75% has been achieved. Widely recognised as a cost-effective and successful intervention, SCI's knock-on effects include improving overall physical health, school attendance and future prospects for millions of people.

The Causes and Impacts of Neglected Tropical and Zoonotic Diseases
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) afflict more than 1.4 billion people, many of whom live on less than $1.25 a day. While there are effective ways to manage NTDs, policy-makers and funders have only recently begun to recognize the economic and public health importance of controlling NTDs. The IOM's Forum on Microbial Threats held a workshop September 21-22, 2010, to discuss the science of and policy surrounding NTDs.
Prominent African Leaders Since Independence
Some of the most prominent leaders of the independence struggle in Africa are covered in this book.

Histoire des Fohobélé de Côte d'Ivoire
La recherche historique en Côte d'Ivoire (Afrique de l'Ouest) est, de nos jours, essentiellement axée sur l'histoire du peuplement. Elle vise ainsi trois objectifs fondamentaux : extirper l'histoire générale des peuples d'Afrique des légendes et des conclusions hâtives des études coloniales, établir le processus d'occupation de l'espace et dégager les repères identitaires pour les générations présentes, souvent désemparées par la modernité. Le présent ouvrage Histoire des Fohobélé de Côte d'Ivoire, une population sénoufo inconnue se situe dans cette démarche. En faisant une large place à la collecte et à la critique historique des sources orales, écrites et matériel...
La société sénégalaise entre le local et le global
Cet ouvrage constitue la première tentative d'envergure pour écrire une histoire sociale et politique du Sénégal depuis l'indépendance. Il complète et renforce les résultats proposés par la même équipe de recherches dans un volume ayant pour titre Le Sénégal contemporain (Karthala, mars 2002). Élaboré par des chercheurs de générations, de spécialités et de nationalités différentes, ce livre suit à la trace et dévoile les dynamiques sociales, politiques et économiques du pays. Il explore, de manière plus spécifique, une partie des contraintes locales et globales qui déterminent les changements observés dans la société sénégalaise. Il montre encore comment l'imag...
