Everyone wants to lose weight, feel better, and live longer. But what if that was just the beginning? What if you could use specific workouts to prevent, improve, or cure what ails them?As Dr. Jordan Metzl says, "Exercise is medicine." Now he puts that philosophy--along with cutting-edge research and a motivational bedside manner--into a groundbreaking book delivering a head-to-toe list of maladies that affect quality of life for millions. He then offers the specific exercise prescriptions that will help fix them--from type 2 diabetes to depression, from arthritic joints to PMS, from addiction to sleep apnea.The Exercise Cure received has a simple approach to weight loss and better health for everyone. The book offers an exhaustive (and exhausting) collection of fun, fat-torching, life-changing workouts that can be tailored to any fitness level."Doctors have long focused on the treatment of disease. Now we have a manual that highlights a means of prevention. As Dr. Metzl touts, exercise is one of the world’s most effective medicines." --Sanjay Gupta, MD, chief medical correspondent, CNN

This book examines the politics of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) in Namibia. CBNRM and similar forms of conservation across southern Africa have long been studied for their potential benefits as domestic policy tools to help improve sustainable development. However, they have often failed to achieve their stated goals. By assessing the initiation, design, implementation and outcomes of CBNRM, the book argues that communities are often unable to attain the degree of empowerment that these forms of resource governance promise. It also considers the impact of climate change on CBNRM programmes, and the responses of international actors involved in their governance. In doing so, the book demonstrates how the power imbalances that are built into the global political economy have ensured that those most marginalized in society are no better off as a result of this new form of resource governance. It will appeal to all those interested in CBNRM,conservation studies and environmental governance in Africa, as well political economy and international relations.

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: HD, , course: Master of International Business, language: English, abstract: Yamato Co.Ltd has been an innovator and market leader in the express small package delivery industry of Japan for 30 years. Its strong domestic position opens up the possibility of international expansion to achieve sustained growth. The business opportunity to develop an intranet of logistics in cities across Asia, Oceania and Africa is open but is time sensitive and relative to the following points:1. Infrastructure (roads, traffic congestion, internet penetration, potential service and logistics partners, urbanization and density of population)2. Overhead (human resource, fuel, electricity and other transport costs)3. Political (stability, rule of law (safety of delivery), open to foreign investment)4. Wealth (consumption rate, consumer price index)5. Cultural (demand for convenience and reliability over cost, adoption of onlineretailing, attractiveness of point of deliver pay)In this dissertation I argue that Yamato should focus on its core competency of small packages when formulating international expansion strategies and not its legacy services such as specialist freight forwarding and packing for Japanese manufacturing firms.
