Integral Community Enterprise in Africa

By

The devastating effect of western economic models in Africa that followed is well documented. Integral Community Enterprise in Africa exposes the limitations of existing theories, such as capitalism, socialism and communism, and shows how western theories were imposed on Africa. Such imposition of concepts and ideas is not only demeaning but also unsustainable, serving only the interest of the elite.

Across the world, we are facing a crisis in education at all levels: for some communities, schooling remains inaccessible, and for others, educational institutions have become elite qualification factories.

What kind of knowledge do we need to survive in the present century and next? Do the current modes of knowledge creation and application address the challenges of the 21st century? How do we bridge the dichotomy between being and knowing, research and innovation, theory and practice?

Healing Plants of Nigeria – Ethnomedicine and Therapeutic Applications

By,

Healing Plants of Nigeria: Ethnomedicine and Therapeutic Applications offers comprehensive information on the use of herbal medicines in West Africa. Combining an evidence-based, ethnobotanical perspective with a pharmacological and pharmaceutical approach to phytomedicine, the book bridges the gap between the study of herbal plants’ pharmacological properties and active compounds for the development of clinical drugs and community-oriented approaches, emphasising local use. It demonstrates how the framework of African traditional medicine can be preserved in a contemporary clinical context.

The Healing Radiance of the Soul

By

ORDER FOR E-BOOK -The Healing Radiance of the Soul” is a transformative journey into the heart of holistic healing. The book’s poetic prose presents “la joie de vivre” as the ultimate purpose of wellness, weaving scientific revelations about elements and bio essences with the hidden wisdom of myths across cultures and religions.

Disease and Dietary Pattern in Edo Central Nigeria presents field research carried out in a semi-urban area of mid-western Nigeria. It considers the relationship between dietary habits, health information, and the changing pattern of chronic disease.

The book challenges the assumption that chronic diseases associated with affluence are limited to wealthy societies. It draws attention to the role that knowledge and access to clear health information can play in everyday dietary decisions, alongside broader social and economic circumstances.

By focusing on a specific Nigerian setting, the study offers material for readers interested in how public-health questions can be investigated within local communities. It may be useful as a reference for students, researchers, health professionals, administrators, and policy practitioners examining nutrition and community health.

Suggested readers

  • Public-health and nutrition students
  • Researchers studying health and society in Nigeria
  • Health educators, administrators, and policy practitioners
