Harrison, Paul

This classic bestseller is a comprehensive guide to the roots of mass poverty, the social strains and political instability that turn one developing country after another into disaster areas or dangerous flashpoints. Harrison examines climate and colonialism, land hunger, population growth, malnutrition, disease and illiteracy, and these realities are brought home through dramatic first-hand accounts. 

This report outlines the findings of the Coastal Livelihood Assessment for the Kuruwitu – Vipingo community, which lies on a Kenyan coast potentially significant for its marine biodiversity, as it has a distinct coral reef ecosystem with diverse coral assemblages which host a wide variety of tropical fish species as well as beaches that provide breeding and nesting sites for endangered sea turtles and birds.
