Mention South Africa and it always arouses strong emotions and so a phone call from the British Council in 1985 inviting my husband and me to visit that country gave us a great deal to think about. Would we be supporting a detestable régime? Would we be safe? Would we be acceptable to the black community? How could we best help them? What could we hope to achieve? We decided to go and it proved to be the beginning of an interesting association with the British Council and black South African librarianship.

This paper examines the prospects for achieving universal primary education in the Sub-Saharan African countries. The principal finding is that, under present conditions, a large number of these countries may not achieve universal primary education even by the year 2020. A move towards this goal will call for a level of national effort which some of these countries can ill afford. It also calls for a strong willingness to treat the high levels of recurrent unit costs as a major policy issue....

Abstract The Visoke complex is one of the main Quaternary volcanic centres of the Virunga Range, located north of lake Kivu. Mineralogical (microprobe) data are given for two representative leucitite lavas; one sample contains a complex coarse-grained xenolith (phlogopite, diopside, leucite, titanomagnetite, perovskite and apatite) and megacrysts of pyroxene, phlogopite and olivine scattered in fine-grained leucite-rich host lava. Compared with the typical leucite-dominated, low-pressure...

Clay mineralogy and chemistry of seven pedons developed in Quaternary volcanic ashes under different moisture regimes in northern Tanzania have been studied. Total carbon, nitrogen and acid-oxalate soluble aluminum contents of soils increased and pH (H2O, M-KCl), exchangeable basic cations and available phosphorus contents decreased with increasing mean annual rainfall. High contents of clays in soil samples (410–860 g/kg) are believed to indicate advanced stages of weathering. An...

In 1981, the Egyptian government sought assistance from the World Bank's International Developmental Agency for the Cairo Univesity-IDA Third Education Project. The World Bank loan was designated for training faculty leaders capable of modernizing instruction at Cairo University and for equipping the faculties of agriculture and medicine with up-to-date scientific instruments, laboratory apparatus, and technology for the improvement of instruction. The project also supported a counterpart...

The present study assessed the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in 65 Nigerian medical students attending the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria. Their ages ranged from 17 to 28 years with a mean age for men of 20.9 years and for women of 18.8 years. Approximately 8% of the men and 0% of the women were current cigarette smokers, whereas alcohol use was observed in 14.6% of the men and in 0% of the women. The Nigerian men had significantly higher diastolic blood pressures than...

The Ventersdorp Supergroup (2700–2750 Ma) is comprised chiefly of mafic to intermediate subaerially erupted volcanics with smaller amounts of clastic sediments. The lower unit, the Klipriviersberg Group, consists of basal basaltic komatiites overlain by basalts which show a progressive increase in Mg number and Ni content and a decrease in incompatible element contents with increasing stratigraphic height. Volcanics of the overlying Platberg and Pniel Groups consist of basaltic andesites and...
