 A New Social Contract for Peru: An Agenda for Improving Education, Health Care, and the Social Safety Net By Daniel Cotlear 2006 | 303 Pages | ISBN: 0821365673 | PDF | 3 MB This book examines the issues of accountability in the delivery of public services. Each chapter of the book incorporates, in addition to technical, economic, and statistical analysis, an analysis of the institutional context for service delivery. A common theme that cuts across this book is the issue of accountability as developed by the World Bank in its 'World Development Report: Making Services Work for Poor People' (2004). The main conclusion of the book is that, while Peru has made significant progress in both education and health care, there remain significant challenges to achieving greater equity and better quality of services, particularly for the poor. The book finds that Peru has achieved high levels of coverage in all levels of education and in some programs of basic health care and of social assistance. Still, the average quality of most of these programs is low, and health and education outcomes are extremely inequitable. The book recommends three types of interventions: a. quality standards and quantitative goals need to be set, b. accountability chains need to be established so that providers take responsibility for their services; and c. investments are needed to create and sustain the capacity to reach these goals.  Ryan Brown, "A Native of Nowhere: The Life of Nat Nakasa" English | ISBN: 1431405345 | 2014 | 225 pages | EPUB | 1274 KB Tracing the life of South African writer Nat Nakasa, this biography tells the story of how a quiet, serious African boy growing up in the sleepy coastal city of Durban in the 1940s became part of the generation of outspoken black South African journalists in the 1950s and 1960s. He challenged state-sponsored segregation in that way that only writers can, simply by keeping a detailed record of its existence. On a warm July morning in 1965, he stood facing the window of a friend's seventh floor apartment in Central Park West. Less than a year earlier, Nakasa had taken an "exit permit" from the apartheid government-a one-way ticket out of the country of his birth-and come to Harvard University on a journalism fellowship. Now he was caught in a precarious limbo, unable to return to South Africa but lacking citizenship in the United States, a place that he was beginning to feel offered little respite from the brutal racism of his own country. Standing in that New York City apartment building, he faced the alien city and the next thing anyone knew, he was lying on the pavement below. He was 28 years old. In a short but vibrant career as a writer and editor in the apartheid South Africa of the 1950s and early 1960s, Nakasa penned features for the country's most influential black news magazine,  A Sunday Affair 2023 WEBRip x264-ION10_Lori Language: English 937.58 MB | 01:36:16 | MP4 | 720x378 | MP4a-40-2, 48 Khz, 2 channels, 256 Kbps Genre: Romance | Drama iMDB info Provider: Lori.Yagami Two best friends, Uche and Toyin, fall in love with Sunday, a charming, yet flawed eligible bachelor.

Abigail Woods, "A Manufactured Plague?: The History of Foot and Mouth Disease in Britain" English | 2004 | pages: 242 | ISBN: 1844070808 | PDF | 5,1 mb Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is currently regarded as one of the world's worst animal plagues. But how did this label become attached to a curable disease that poses little threat to human health? And why, in the epidemic of 2001, did the government's control strategy still rely upon Victorian trade restrictions and mass slaughter?  Graham T. Dozier, "A Gunner in Lee's Army: The Civil War Letters of Thomas Henry Carter " English | ISBN: 1469618745 | 2014 | 368 pages | EPUB | 2 MB In May 1861, Virginian Thomas Henry Carter (1831-1908) raised an artillery battery and joined the Confederate army. Over the next four years, he rose steadily in rank from captain to colonel, placing him among the senior artillerists in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. During the war, Carter wrote more than 100 revealing letters to his wife, Susan, about his service. His interactions with prominent officers-including Lee, Jubal A. Early, John B. Gordon, Robert E. Rodes, and others-come to life in Carter's astute comments about their conduct and personalities. Combining insightful observations on military operations, particularly of the Battles of Antietam and Spotsylvania Court House and the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, with revealing notes on the home front and the debate over the impressment and arming of slaves, Carter's letters are particularly interesting because his writing is not overly burdened by the rhetoric of the southern ruling class.
