Ida Greaves
Author: Barbara InghamPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000986446
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Ida Greaves, who was born in Barbados in 1907, is one of the "missing female voices" of early development economics. This biography, the first for Ida Greaves, attempts to construct her career and era before the past wholly disappears. The biography covers her early years in Barbados, her time at boarding school in England, at McGill University in Canada where she focused on human behaviour under the influence of changing social and political histories and also published an early path-breaking study of black migrants into Canada, and her later research at Harvard and Columbia in the United States and at the London School of Economics. Individual chapters follow her career acting as economic adviser to the Colonial Office in London, where she worked alongside Arthur Lewis, and at the fledgling United Nations in New York. She published in top journals and produced an outstanding study of the influence of colonial monetary systems on poor countries. This accessible biography provides unexpected insights into personalities and institutions during a critical period in late colonial history. The issues it raises of class and race, gender and inequality, poverty and unemployment, are of no less relevance today than they were in her lifetime.

Author: A Bibliography on Seed-eating Mammals and Birds that Affect Forest Regeneration
Author: Larry F. PankPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Forest regeneration
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Birds and mammals that feed on tree seed can seriously delay or prevent forest regeneration. Suitable methods to control these losses usually dictate whether reforestation by artificial seeding or natural seed fall is feasible. Emphasis was placed on references covering the protection of conifer seed, although pertinent material on the protection of rangeland and deciduous-tree seed was included. Citatations are arranged alphabetically by author and follow the form outlined in "Literature citations in publications of the Fish and Wildlife Service". Reference sources were restricted to journals related to forestry, mammalogy, and wildlife and technical papers and articles published by public and private institutions concerned with forest regeneration, written in English and appearing between 1900 and 1971
