Описание:

Thomas Sankara, often called the African Che Guevara, was president of Burkina Faso, one of the poorest countries in Africa, until his assassination during the military coup that brought down his government. Although his tenure in office was relatively short, Sankara left an indelible mark on his country’s history and development. An avowed Marxist, he outspokenly asserted his country’s independence from France and other Western powers while at the same time seeking to build a genuine pan-African unity.

Ernest Harsch traces Sankara’s life from his student days to his recruitment into the military, early political awakening, and increasing dismay with his country’s extreme poverty and political corruption. As he rose to higher leadership positions, he used those offices to mobilize people for change and to counter the influence of the old, corrupt elites. Sankara and his colleagues initiated economic and social policies that shifted away from dependence on foreign aid and toward a greater use of the country’s own resources to build schools, health clinics, and public works. Although Sankara’s sweeping vision and practical reforms won him admirers both in Burkina Faso and across Africa, a combination of domestic opposition groups and factions within his own government and the army finally led to his assassination in 1987.

This is the first English-language book to tell the story of Sankara’s life and struggles, drawing on the author’s extensive firsthand research and reporting on Burkina Faso, including interviews with the late leader. Decades after his death, Sankara remains an inspiration to young people throughout Africa for his integrity, idealism, and dedication to independence and self-determination.

Описание: `They belong to each other in mood, in tone and by way of certain images and words that form a ricochet of echoes - not least the word "salt".` Mineral, eerie, sensory, the poems in the collection are experienced as encounters - some with the surety of daylight, others in dream-life - that refresh with the turning of each page.

Описание:

Electronic devices and circuits are employed by a range of industries in testing conditions from extremes of high- or low-temperature, in chemically corrosive environments, subject to shock and vibration or exposure to radiation. There are numerous challenges for the engineer to develop electronic components and devices that can operate in such difficult environmental conditions or in situations where long-term reliability is critical where a failure would lead to safety risks and substantial costs. Examples of such applications include aerospace and automotive engineering, chemical plants, oil-well drilling and implanted medical devices.

This book describes the diverse measures necessary to make electronics capable of coping with such situations as well as to gainfully exploit any new phenomena that take place only under these conditions. These precautionary measures begin right at the outset during the conception stage of an electronic circuit in reference to the conditions under which it is planned to function, and must be addressed at all stages commencing from device or circuit design to its fabrication and encapsulation, including proper choice of constructional materials. Superconducting electronics, which can function only at very low temperatures, is included. The book treats the subject in its entirety maintaining full rigour and lucidity of approach, covering both theoretical and experimental aspects in a comprehensive manner. Research endeavours of scientists have led to interesting technological breakthroughs in this swiftly progressing field, and the book provides up-to-date coverage of the topic for industrial and academic researchers.
