As the nation approaches the fiftieth anniversary of its independence, however, the people's dream remains elusive. During its first five decades Kenya has experienced assassinations, riots, coup attempts, ethnic violence, and political corruption. The ranks of the disaffected, the unemployed, and the poor have multiplied. In this authoritative and insightful account of Kenya's history from 1963 to the present day, Daniel Branch sheds new light on the nation's struggles and the complicated causes behind them.Branch describes how Kenya constructed itself as a state and how ethnicity has proved a powerful force in national politics from the start, as have disorder and violence. He explores such divisive political issues as the needs of the landless poor, international relations with Britain and with the Cold War superpowers, and the direction of economic development. Tracing an escalation of government corruption over time, the author brings his discussion to the present, paying particular attention to the rigged election of 2007, the subsequent compromise government, and Kenya's prospects as a still-evolving independent state. 606 $aSocial history 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$y1963-1978 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$y1978-2002 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$y2002- 607 $aKenya$xSocial conditions$y1963- 615 0$aSocial history. 676 $a967.6204 700 $aBranch$b Daniel$f1978-$0704704 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781587403321 996 $aKenya$93834063 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03257nam 2200997z- 450 001 9910367741103321 005 20210211 010 $a3-03921-845-X 035 $a(CKB)4100000010106306 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/48290 035 $a(oapen)doab48290 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000010106306 100 $a20202102d2019 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aGas Hydrate: Environmental and Climate Impacts 210 $cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2019 215 $a1 online resource (182 p.) 311 08$a3-03921-844-1 330 $aThis Special Issue reports research spanning from the analysis of indirect data, modeling, and laboratory and geological data confirming the intrinsic multidisciplinarity of gas hydrate studies. The study areas are (1) Arctic, (2) Brazil, (3) Chile, and (4) the Mediterranean region. The results furnished an important tessera of the knowledge about the relationship of a gas hydrate system with other complex natural phenomena such as climate change, slope stability and earthquakes, and human activities. 517 $aGas Hydrate 610 $aactive margin 610 $aAmazon fan 610 $aArctic shelf 610 $abiogenic gas 610 $ablue growth 610 $aBouguer anomaly 610 $aBSR 610 $acarbon dioxide 610 $aChile Triple Junction 610 $aChilean margin 610 $aclathrites 610 $aclimate change 610 $aearthquake 610 $aEastern Mediterranean 610 $aecosystem 610 $aenvironmental impact 610 $agas hydrate 610 $agas hydrates 610 $agas seeps 610 $ageohazard 610 $ageohazards 610 $aglobal change 610 $agravimetric data 610 $ahydrate dissociation 610 $aisotopic composition 610 $aLevant Basin 610 $amagnetic data 610 $amantellic source 610 $amethane 610 $amethane cycle 610 $amethane emission 610 $amethane stability 610 $aMiocene 610 $amodeling 610 $amodelling 610 $amolecular composition 610 $amultidisciplinary 610 $anatural gas hydrate 610 $anorthern Apennines 610 $aocean acidification 610 $apermafrost 610 $apotential methods 610 $arisk assessment 610 $asalt migration 610 $aSantos Basin 610 $aSa?o Paulo Plateau 610 $aseep-carbonates 610 $aseepage 610 $aseismic interpretation 610 $aslope stability 610 $asubaqueous permafrost 610 $atemperature increase 610 $athawing 610 $athermogenic gas 700 $aGiustiniani$b Michela$4auth$01288167 702 $aVargas Cordero$b Ivan de la Cruz$4auth 702 $aTinivella$b Umberta$4auth 702 $aVasilev$b Atanas$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367741103321 996 $aGas Hydrate: Environmental and Climate Impacts$93020665 997 $aUNINA
