Excerpt: The Ghana national football team, popularly known as the Black Stars, is the national association football team of Ghana and is controlled by the Ghana Football Association. Before gaining independence from Great Britain in 1957, the country played as the Gold Coast. Although the team did not qualify for the senior FIFA World Cup until 2006, they had qualified for five straight Olympic Games Football Tournaments when the tournament was still a full senior national team competition. The team have won the Africa Cup of Nations four times (in 1963, 1965, 1978, and 1982), making Ghana the second most successful team in the contest's history, behind Egypt. The Olympic Team, the Black Meteors, in 1992 became the first African country to win a medal at football. After going through 2005 unbeaten, Ghana won the FIFA most improved team of the year award and they reached the second round of the 2006 Germany World Cup. The Ghana Amateur Football Association was founded in 1957, soon after the country's independence, and was affiliated to both CAF and FIFA the following year, Englishman George Ainsley being appointed coach of the national team. In 1960 the Black Stars played Spanish giants Real Madrid, who were at the time Spanish, European and intercontinental champions, and drew 33. Charles Kumi Gyamfi became coach in 1961, and Ghana won successive Africa Cup of Nations titles, in 1963 and 1965, and achieved their record win, 130 away to Kenya, shortly after the second of these. They also reached the final of the tournament in 1968 and 1970, losing 10 on each occasion, to DR Congo and Sudan respectively. Their domination of this tournament earned the country the nickname of "the Brazil of Africa" in the 1960s. The team had no success in FIFA World Cup... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1029620 ...

Product Description
Participation of stakeholders at the local level(local participation) is evolving worldwide as amechanism to address complex environmental problemssuch as lagoon resource management.This book examines how local authorities and civilsociety have responded to lagoon resource policyimplementation challenges by introducingparticipation and empowerment as a tool to solve theproblem. The book further examines how lack ofparticipation of relevant stakeholders in policyformulation on the 'commons'undermines the policyimplementation phase. In theory, participation holds promise to addressconflict, however in practice, a number of factorsthat feed into conflict sometimes characterize theprocess of participation in many local communities.It is a potential contradiction that althoughstakeholders' involvement in decision-making isproposed as an approach to manage conflict, inpractice the process usually reveals tensionsinherent in the collision of diverse interests amongstakeholders. These tensions could emanate fromhistorical antecedents, ineffective information flowin the community, and low-levels of communication. ... Read more

Further Along the Journey
John M. Chernoff's "Exchange Is Not Robbery" continues the adventures of Hawa, the West African bar girl introduced in "Hustling Is Not Stealing", which appeared several years ago. The two volumes are best read continuously, giving the reader the benefit of Chernoff's comprehensive and fascinating introduction to the first book.Hawa's vibrant personality and humor continue, but as she returns to Burkina Faso, the tone darkens somewhat. She moves between Ouagadougou and the village where her sick father lives, making observations about the sexual politics of being an "ashawo" and the economic stresses of the independent lifestyle she has chosen.Hilarious, but awful at the same time, are the stories of her encounters with French men (of whom she has a very low opinion!) and the lengths to which she must go just to survive.Awful but not hilarious at all is the oppressiveness of village life for women. Hawa never becomes bitter, but she expresses a greater sense of what her autonomy has cost her.This volume is also rich with folklore and magic, which blend seamlessly into the harshest realities.This book, like its predecessor, is unique and absolutely wonderful. I was sorry when it ended. ... Read more

Each book focuses on a particular child's day: from waking up, through breakfast, going to school, learning, travelling home, playing and getting ready for bed. Nii Kwei gets up at six o'clock sharp every morning.

At 7.30 he goes to school in a taxi. Later, on his way home, he goes to Abraham's material store with his mother and enjoys looking at all the bright colours and bold patterns. He ends the day playing football with his cousins, back at the compound. ... Read more

A wonderful legacy for my belated father Theodore Dowuona-Hyde
This book is about the daily life of one of the children (Nii Kwei) who resided at 'Minnie Lodge.''Minnie Lodge' name comes from Wilhelmina (my grandmother). Minnie Lodge was my father's family house and was a house full of people, love, fun and compassion.Sadly, Mr. Theodore Dowuona-Hyde, a very humble man, passed on April 18, 2009 at the age of 97.May he rest in eternal peace.

A good read for those not familiar with the daily routine of a Ghanaian child;s life such as Nii Kwei, who is now a teenager. A nice story and informative.I shall especially treasure the pictures of my dear Dad in his dressing gown.Precious!Thank you for publishing this and thank you Gladys and William Sanniez for allowing the authors to come into your life for the day and observe your son Nii Kwei! The book for me, will also be an heirloom for my children and grandchildren. ... Read more
