This important book examines the factors that influence economic growth and sustainable development in countries with a significant natural resource sector. It addresses the key issue of how to make the primary sector sufficiently productive to provide for investment in both itself and other sectors of the economy.Using individual country experiences as well as cross-country analyses, the authors highlight some of the successful policy measures which have been applied to economies with an abundance of natural resources. They also consider the management of natural resources and sustainable development from a local perspective. In conclusion, they argue that these types of economies need pro-active government policies, successful cooperation between private and public institutions and a gradual process of upgrading of skills and technology in order to achieve sustainable development.This book will be welcomed by development economists and natural resource economists as well as policymakers and planners in government and international agencies.

During the Great Depression in Boston, a young family without parents rose above hardships to show the true dignity of poverty and the power of their relationships. Arthur's gentle connection with others and humorous exploits, softly convey the story's spiritual undercurrent. Injured by a severe blow, he died temporarily and was swept into a mystical light. Journeying through heaven, Arthur received an important message that he was told to help others and was miraculously revived. He returned from heaven with ideas about how powerful we truly are and how to overcome our deepest fears. Those who believe in Arthur's fantastical adventure, see their own lives changed. Through conversations with Arthur, many begin to understand that their sense of power comes from within themselves, and that they don't need to fear anything again. Arthur develops a warm friendship with a lovely, yet reclusive, woman who believes in him and is deeply changed by his message of hope. This uplifting story, sprinkled with both funny and bittersweet episodes, will touch the heart of anyone who reads it.
