Economic Growth
Today, the average person in the world lives a more comfortable life compared to the richest people in the last century and, in fact, their life is more comfortable than even the kings of the previous centuries. We owe this situation first and foremost to the high growth rates that gained momentum after the industrial revolution. Although high welfare level is not dependent upon economic growth alone, it is a prerequisite for welfare. Nobody craves equality in poverty. In this book, in addition to the theoretical development of economic growth, the sources and potential effects of economic growth have been analysed using various methods. As such, it will serve as an essential reference work for researchers and policy makers.

Words Out of Wood
Two dozen or so wooden tablets discovered on Easter Island late in the nineteenth century are all that remain of rongorongo--a series of glyphs thought to be the writing system of the island's lost people. In Words Out of Wood, M. de Laat explores the construction and use of these enigmatic figures and makes a compelling case that rongorongo, despite its resistance to decipherment, constitutes nothing less than a fully developed script. Reproduced here in clear, full-page illustrations, the glyphs stand alongside the great moai statues as lasting monuments of the inventiveness and artistry of the remote Pacific island.
Politics, Economy, and Society in Twentieth-Century Nigeria
Politics, Economy, and Society in Twentieth-Century Nigeria, by Ayodeji Olukoju and Tokunbo A. Ayoola, examines key social, political, and economic issues in Nigeria since the colonial period. This book brings together writings on colonial, postcolonial, and contemporary history of Nigeria that provide a panoramic view of diversity, bridge gaps in Nigerian history, and engage with pioneering scholarship in railway and social history in Nigeria by James Olawale Oyemakinde. Some of the themes and perspectives discussed throughout this collection include: contemporary challenges of poverty, unemployment, leadership and governance deficit, entrepreneurship, urbanization, and the underdevelopment of the agricultural and transport systems. Politics, Economy, and Society in Twentieth-Century Nigeria demonstrates that understanding the past helps to develop appropriate policies for contemporary challenges. As highlighted in this volume, it is important to appreciate the significance of context in historical explanation and in the application and adaptation of ideas across space and time.

Abelian Group Theory
A conference on Abelian Group Theory was held at the Manoa Campus of the University of Hawaii from December 28, 1982 to January 4, 1983. It was probably the best attended conference on Abelian Group Theory to date with 55 participants from allover the world and the busiest one with 49 talks. A special feature were general interest lectures by Hyman Bass, Columbia University, on "Non-linear Algebra", and by Claus Michael Ringel, Uni versiUit Bielefeld, on "Representations of Algebras". The Conference offered surveys by Laszlo Fuchs, Tulane University, on "Torsion Modules over Valuation Rings", Fred Richman, New Mexico State University, on "Mixed Groups", Paul Eklof, University of California a...
