Nick Bredie, Books, Fiction and Literature, Fiction, Literary, Not Constantinople, Fred and Virginia, two expatriates living in Istanbul and working at the university, come home one night to find their apartment occupied by a family of Greeks. Barred by a quirk of Turkish law from evicting them, Fred comes to a strange kind of understanding with their new squatters; looking to make his fortune before returning to the States, he starts a paper-writing racket with the Greek patriarch, selling term papers to his own university students.Between get-rich schemes and run-ins with Kurdish separatists, Fred watches the transformation of his new city as historic neighborhoods are gobbled up by greedy developers and the city's rapacious elite. Lauded by T.C. Boyle as utterly charming,Not Constantinople is the story of a region in transition and the uncertainty of life in a foreign country.

School Enrollment Decline in Sub-Saharan Africa
EN NWISBN: 9780821343128 bzw. 0821343122, in Englisch, World Bank Publications, neu.
Lieferung aus: Vereinigtes Königreich Großbritannien und Nordirland, in-stock.
The overarching objective of the World Bank's assistance to Sub-Saharan African countries is poverty reduction through sustained economic growth at a high level and improved social services. Past experience shows that a minimum level of educational attainment has been a prerequisite for the success of such a strategy. The current level of education development has been low, and the development of primary education has stagnated and even declined in some countries since the early 1980s. This paper examines the likely causes for deteriorating enrollment rates in Africa. It looks at the constraints in the demand for schooling and gives possible reasons for stagnation.
