Ameenah Gurib-Fakim served as the 6th and first female President of the Republic of Mauritius (June 5, 2015-March 23, 2018). She holds a BSc (Chemistry) from the University of Surrey and a PhD (Organic Chemistry) from the University of Exeter, UK. She has been awarded five Honorary Doctorates (DSc).A life-long scientist, academician, entrepreneur and an "accidental" President who came to the high office without any political affiliations. She was the first female Professor of Chemistry with an endowed chair at the University of Mauritius and became the first academician to have translated her research work on medicinal plants into an enterprise. She is also a mother of two grown children and is married to Dr. Anwar Fakim, a practicing surgeon.A prolific author, she has published on a diverse range of subjects, authored and co-authored books and scientific articles on medicinal plants. She is a sought-after speaker. Her 2014 TED talk on medicinal plants has garneredover a million hits and has been translated into 24 languages. In this autobiography, she retraces her journey from the small village of Plaine Magnien, where she grew up and given its ethnic, social and cultural diversity, she considers it to be a microcosm of the world. She takes the reader through her journey that has encompassed academic, entrepreneurial and political spheres, ultimately reaching the highest position in the country as President of the Republic. She also writes about the changing political vicissitudes in Mauritius. As the gender gap narrows and women's aspirations rise, her narrative offers compelling commentary and enduring lessons of experience that will find broad appeal among women in all professional walks of life. A firm believer in the notion that countries must invest in their young people and empower them with the tools of science and technology, she is devoting her post-Presidency life to advancing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education so that all Mauritians, indeed all Africans can stay economically, technologically and scientifically competitive in a rapidlytransforming global economy. This theme has been the leit motif of her life and remains very close to her heart.

A core political economy issue in the growth literature is how to structure the relationship between the public and private sectors to ensure optimal outcomes. While conventional arguments on the ability of the private sector to intrinsically generate efficiency gains remain valid, governments’ traditional role of providing an enabling environment to foster private risk taking for capital accumulation is no less important. African Policy Innovation and the Political Economy of Public-Private Policy Partnerships borrows from contemporary theories of policy change and raises some fundamental questions about the political economy of development in Africa. This book examines the current knowledge and research about the role of public-private policy partnerships in the policy innovation discourse. It contributes a comprehensive, cutting-edge analysis vis-à-vis the appropriateness of contemporary policy devices and paradigms, the compatibility of individualistic analytical frameworks with the African philosophy of Ubuntu, the debate on the rise of neoliberalism versus Africa's traditions and values, and the implications of path dependence for the African Renaissance. From local communities and NGOs to African governments and international development agencies, the author advances a multi-stakeholder development policy and programming framework which recognizes Africa's vastly heterogenous economies and societies. Covering topics such as policy diffusion, demographic shifts, inequality, rentier capitalism, industrial transformation, development finance innovations, venture capital ecosystems, tax policy and supply-side economics, ocean finance, the global minimum tax debate, and higher education under disruptive technologies, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for government officials, policymakers, entrepreneurs, business leaders, libraries, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

Novel Plant Bioresources: Applications in Food, Medicine and Cosmetics serves as the definitive source of information on under-utilized plant species, and fills a key niche in our understanding of the relationship of human beings with under-utilized plants. By covering applications in food, medicine and cosmetics, the book has a broad appeal. In a climate of growing awareness about the perils of biodiversity loss, the world is witnessing an unprecedented interest in novel plants, which are increasingly prized for their potential use in aromas, dyes, foods, medicines and cosmetics. This book highlights these plants and their uses. After an introductory section which sets the scene with an overview of the historical and legislative importance of under-utilized plants, the main four parts of the book are dedicated to the diverse potential application of novel plant bioresources in Food, Medicine, Ethnoveterinary Medicine and Cosmetics. Examples and contributors are drawn from Africa, Europe, the USA and Asia. The economic, social, and cultural aspects of under-utilized plant species are addressed, and the book provides a much needed boost to the on-going effort to focus attention on under-utilized plant species and conservation initiatives. By focusing on novel plants and the agenda for sustainable utilization, Novel Plant Bioresources highlights key issues relevant to under-utilized plant genetic resources, and brings together international scholars on this important topic.

A major literary moment: after being lost to history for more than a century, The Road to Dawn uncovers the incredible story of the real-life slave who inspired Uncle Tom's Cabin. -He rescued 118 enslaved people -He won a medal at the first World's Fair in London -Queen Victoria invited him to Windsor Castle -Rutherford B. Hayes entertained him at the White House -He helped start a freeman settlement, called Dawn, that was known as one of the final stops on the Underground Railroad -He was immortalized in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, the novel that Abraham Lincoln jokingly blamed for sparking the Civil War But before all this, Josiah Henson was brutally enslaved for more than forty years. Author-filmmaker Jared A. Brock retraces Henson's 3,000+ mile journey from slavery to freedom and re-introduces the world to a forgotten figure of the Civil War era, along with his accompanying documentary narrated by Hollywood actor Danny Glover. The Road to Dawn is a ground-breaking biography lauded by leaders at the NAACP, the Smithsonian, senators, authors, professors, the President of Mauritius, and the 21st Prime Minister of Canada, and will no doubt restore a hero of the abolitionist movement to his rightful place in history.
