In a world where much of the power and wealth remains concentrated in the hands of a very few people, this book looks at how the history of African independence has touched all people-from refugees to heads of state. Author Tukufu Zuberi weaves exclusive interview excerpts and stories from many Africans he has met with old newsreels, current news and reports, and research into a larger narrative that takes readers throuAfricaPolitics and government1960-AfricaHistory21st centuryAfricaHistory20th centuryAfricaForeign relations1960-AfricaColonial influence960.3/2960.32Zuberi Tukufu1491784MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797375003321African independence3734430UNINA04132nam 22007812 450 991081724370332120151005020621.01-139-85401-11-107-23546-41-139-84588-81-139-84493-81-139-08844-01-139-84019-31-139-84257-91-283-81254-11-139-84138-6(CKB)2550000000708676(EBL)1057512(OCoLC)818750067(SSID)ssj0000755729(PQKBManifestationID)11463310(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000755729(PQKBWorkID)10748610(PQKB)10843975(UkCbUP)CR9781139088442(MiAaPQ)EBC1057512(Au-PeEL)EBL1057512(CaPaEBR)ebr10623133(CaONFJC)MIL412504(PPN)261287060(PPN)168514915(EXLCZ)99255000000070867620110519d2012|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFloods in a changing climateExtreme precipitation /Ramesh S.V.

This book provides methods for assessment of the trends in these events and their impacts. It also provides a basis to develop procedures and guidelines for climate-adaptive hydrologic engineering. Academic researchers in the fields of hydrology, climate change, meteorology, environmental policy and risk assessment, and professionals and policy-makers working in hazard mitigation, water resources engineering and climate adaptation will find this an invaluable resource. This volume is the first in a collection of four books on flood disaster management theory and practice within the context of anthropogenic climate change. The others are: Floods in a Changing Climate: Hydrological Modeling by P. P. Mujumdar and D. Nagesh Kumar, Floods in a Changing Climate: Inundation Modeling by Giuliano Di Baldassarre and Floods in a Changing Climate: Risk Management by Slodoban Simonović.International hydrology series.Precipitation (Meteorology)MeasurementFloodsMathematical modelsHydrologic modelsClimatic extremesClimatic changesPrecipitation (Meteorology)Measurement.FloodsMathematical models.Hydrologic models.Climatic extremes.Climatic changes.551.48/9011SCI081000bisacshTeegavarapu Ramesh S.
