L'épidémie du sida constitue un des défis majeurs de l'afrique contemporaine. Des millions d'hommes, de femmes et d'enfants ont déjà été emportés par cette maladie et, si aucun traitement n'est mis à la disposition des populations, le bilan risque d'être plus lourd encore dans les années à venir. Le sida est un phénomène qui intéresse non seulement les médecins, les virologistes et les épidémiologistes, mais aussi les spécialistes des sciences humaines, attentifs aux aspects politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels de l'épidémie. Diagnostiqué pour la première fois en 1981, le sida est également un objet d'histoire. Quand et comment a commencé l'épidémie ? Pourquoi le sida touche-t-il davantage l'Afrique que les autres parties du monde ? Comment expliquer les variations des taux de séroprévalence au sein du continent africain lui-même ? Que savons-nous des facteurs politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels qui favorisent la diffusion du virus ? Quelles raisons donner au recul du sida dans un pays comme l'Ouganda ou à son relatif non-développement au Sénégal ? C'est à ces questions que les auteurs du présent volume tentent de répondre. Originaires d'Afrique, d'Europe et d'Amérique du Nord, ils apportent une contribution originale à l'étude de l'histoire du sida en Afrique subsaharienne. Certains sont historiens de métier. Les autres, épidémiologistes, anthropologues, sociologues et spécialistes du développement, ont accepté de réexaminer les thèmes qui leur sont familiers dans une perspective spécifiquement historique.

For the past two generations, extensive research has been conducted on the determinants of homosexuality. But, until now, scant attention has been paid to what is perhaps the most mysterious--and potentially illuminating--variation of human sexual expression, bisexuality. Today, as ignorance and fear of AIDS makes greater awareness of all forms of sexual behavior an urgent matter of private and public consequence, leading sex researchers Martin Weinberg, Colin Williams, and Douglas Pryor provide us with the first major study of bisexuality. Weinberg, Williams, and Pryor explore the riddle of dual attraction in their study of 800 residents of San Francisco. Fieldwork, intensive interviews, and surveys provided a wealth of data about the nature of bisexual attraction, the steps that lead people to become bisexual, and how sexual preference can change over time. They found that heterosexuals, more often than homosexuals, become bisexual; that bisexual men and women differ markedly in their sexual behavior and romantic feelings; that most bisexuals ultimately settle into long-term relationships while continuing sexual activity outside those relationships; and they also explain why transsexuals often become bisexual. Moreover, the authors discovered that as the AIDS crisis unfolded, many bisexual men entered into monogamous relationships with women, and bisexual women into more lesbian relationships. Recent media accounts attest that a growing number of researchers and writers are narrowing the fundamental cause of sexual preference to a single factor, biology. But if, as this study shows, learning plays a significant part in helping people traverse the boundaries of gender, if past and present intimate relationships influence their changing preferences, and if bisexual activity is inseparable from a social environment which provides distinctive sexual opportunities, then a mosaic of factors far more complex than those previously considered must be entertained in explaining the fuller spectrum of sexual preferences. Dual Attraction is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of sexuality since the original Kinsey reports and Bell and Weinberg's 1978 international bestseller, Homosexualities. It is must reading for all those interested in the study of sexual behavior--especially now, since the onset of AIDS.

It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.
