Community development has lately gained much prominence, but the emphasis has remained on the economic and social welfare of communities, rather than the environment. By focusing on 'sustainable' development in Kenya, this study shows the importance of integrating ecological concerns in socio-economic and cultural development processes.

The British Industrial Revolution has long been seen as the spark for modern global industrialization and sustained economic growth. Indeed, the origins of economic history as a discipline lie in 19th-century European and North American attempts to understand the foundation of this process. William J. Ashworth questions some of the orthodoxies concerning the history of the industrial revolution and offers a deep and detailed reassessment of the subject that focuses on the State and its role in the development of key British manufactures. In particular, he explores the role of State regulation and protectionism in nurturing Britain's negligible early manufacturing base. Taking a long view, from the mid-17th century through to the 19th century, the analysis weaves together a vast range of factors to provide one of the fullest analyses of the Industrial Revolution, and one that places it firmly within a global context, showing that it was merely a short moment within a much larger and longer global trajectory. This is an important intervention in the debates surrounding modern industrial history and will be essential reading for anyone interested in global and comparative economic history and the history of globalization.

This book boldly unsettles the idea of globalization as a recent phenomenon-and one driven solely by Western interests-by offering a compelling new perspective on global interconnectivity in the nineteenth century. Jeremy Prestholdt examines East African consumers' changing desires for material goods from around the world in an era of sweeping social and economic change. Exploring complex webs of local consumer demands that affected patterns of exchange and production as far away as India and the United States, the book challenges presumptions that Africa's global relationships have always been dictated by outsiders. Full of rich and often-surprising vignettes that outline forgotten trajectories of global trade and consumption, it powerfully demonstrates how contemporary globalization is foreshadowed in deep histories of intersecting and reciprocal relationships across vast distances.
