Reinforced Concrete Design
This work provides a straightforward introduction to the principles and methods of design for concrete structures. It is directed primarily at students and young designers who require understanding of the basic theory and a concise guide to design procedures. The theory and practice described in the book are of a fundamental nature and will be of use internationally. Limit state concepts are used, and the calculations are in SI units throughout. The principal aim of the fifth edition has been to update the text to incorporate changes and amendments introduced in the 1997 version of BS8110 and to include new material such as pile cap design. A complete new chapter on composite construction has been introduced. Important equations that have been derived within the text are highlighted by an asterix adjacent to the equation number.
The Health of Adults in the Developing World
Sick adults consume often more than half of all resources allocated to the health sector. This volume draws attention to the causes and results of disease and ill health in adults in developing countries and to the burden they impose not only on individuals but on their families and society as well. Researchers and policymakers will find this work essential because of its useful data on adult morbidity and mortality, as well as its call for more information on problems and risk factors.
Differential Mortality
The decline of mortality in the less developed countries during the last thirty years has not been uniform across various strata of the national populations. Strongly pronounced differentials in survival chances exist between the urban white collar elites and the rural and city slum dwellers, and particularly affect women and children. This volume presents papers outlining new conceptual approaches and methodological issues related to the study of differential mortality, and explores such issues as the demographic impacts of famine and other disasters, the contribution of fertility decline to mortality change, and new health problems resulting from the aging of the population.

In Her Lifetime
The relative lack of information on determinants of disease, disability, and death at major stages of a woman's lifespan and the excess morbidity and premature mortality that this engenders has important adverse social and economic ramifications, not only for Sub-Saharan Africa, but also for other regions of the world as well. Women bear much of the weight of world production in both traditional and modern industries. In Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, women contribute approximately 60 to 80 percent of agricultural labor. Worldwide, it is estimated that women are the sole supporters in 18 to 30 percent of all families, and that their financial contribution in the remainder of families is su...
