Emi Koussi volcano is a wide ignimbritic shield-like volcano that results from the succession of three eruptive sequences, each one related to a caldera collapse. Activity occurred from 2.4 Ma to the recent Quaternary. The continental alkaline volcanics of Emi Koussi exhibit two bimodal lava series, silica-saturated (up to 11% normative quartz) and silica-undersaturated...

There is a growing interest in African philosophy in South Africa following the dismantling of legal apartheid.

On the other hand, they experience increasing demands from government and local communities to become responsive to the social, economical and political needs of mostly under-developed domestic societies. While the imperatives for...

In an attempt to understand the concerns that many Muslims have with music in school in the UK, I have visited various Muslim countries looking at their music education (Harris, 2003.) Egypt and Turkey present two interesting cases because although they both have a predominantly Muslim population, Egypt is ruled according to Islamic principles, whilst...
