Explains the applications of physics to technologies and techniques used in the rural third world. Each chapter deals with an area of physics, such as waves or heat transfer, and applies this topic to such rural development concerns as the design of a water tower or a solar water heater. Worked examples then relate the subject matter to other practical projects. Designed to supplement standard physics texts, this sourcebook includes questions and problems with answers, suggestions for practical work, visits, and visual aids, and chapter bibliographies.
