Africa south of the Sahara is a region of great variety. But most of its counties are poor by world standards, and nearly all have fast-growing populations. This title examines how this diverse region is dealing with the legacy of colonial rule and the challenge of providing food, water, housing, and work for its people.
Looks in depth at different regions of the world, their climate, economic development, religious groups, education, health and the political and social status of women. Includes tables, charts, diagrams and statistics with case studies. Features a range of maps, including landform, political, climate and population. Highlights major issues and challenges facing each region.
