Product Description
Chapters: Clair Cameron Patterson. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 47. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Geography of Angola -Satellite image of Angola, generated from raster graphics data supplied by The Map Library Topographic map of Angola.The rock formations of Angola are met with in three distinct regions: The central plateau consists of ancient crystalline rocks with granites overlain by non-fossiliferous sandstones and conglomerates of Paleozoic age. The outcrops are largely hidden under laterite. The median zone is composed largely of crystalline rocks with granites and some Palaeozoic unfossiliferous rocks. The littoral zone contains the only fossiliferous strata. These are of Tertiary and Cretaceous ages, the latter rocks resting on a reddish sandstone of older date. The Cretaceous rocks of the Dombe Grande region (near Benguella) are of Albian age and belong to the Acanthoceras mamillari zone. The beds containing Schloenbachia inflata are referable to the Gault. Rocks of Tertiary age are met with at Dombe Grande, Mossamedes and near Loanda. The sandstones with gypsum, copper and sulfur of Dombe are doubtfully considered to be of Triassic age. Recent eruptive rocks, mainly basalts, form a line of hills almost bare of vegetation between Benguella and Mossamedes. Nepheline basalts and liparites occur at Dombe Grande. The presence of gum copal in considerable quantities in the superficial rocks is characteristic of certain regions.

Editorial Review

Product Description
After decades of civil war and instability, the African country of Angola is experiencing a spectacular economic boom thanks to its most valuable natural resource: oil. But oil extraction--both on- and offshore--is a toxic remedy for the country's economic ills, with devastating effects on both the environment and traditional livelihoods. Focusing on the everyday realities of people living in the extraction zones, Kristin Reed explores the exclusion, degradation, and violence that are the fruits of petrocapitalism in Angola. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Original, daring research. Beautifully written.
Oil politics, environmental impacts, civil war, Western oil companies, inequality: these are some of the subjects and themes explored by Dr. Reed in Crude Existence. In the book, Reed describes how both off- and onshore oil drilling has contributed to war, poverty and inequality in Angola. She describes the partnership between Western oil companies and the Angolan government, relating how the profits from oil fueled decades of civil war, and continue to allow a semi-authoritarian leader and his allies to reap copious rewards while the majority of Angolans remain impoverished.

Reed conveys an amazing depth of understanding, drawing on a year's worth of field research that only the most daring researcher could do, in some of the least hospitable situations on the planet. She brings attention to a corner of the globe infrequently visited by Western academics or journalists, Angola, where civil war raged until months before she began research. And within Angola, she focuses on Cabinda, a little-known province that has been attempting to secede from Angola since before its independence in 1975, maintaining constant and continued militarization. (Cabinda is the site of the 2010 Africa Cup killing of several Togolese football players.)

This book should be read by anyone interested in Africa, civil war, the impacts of oil, and the "resource curse." Unlike many academic books, it is a pleasure to read - Reed has a grace with language, and illustrates many of her academic points with vignettes and stories from her many interviews and experiences. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Angola," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Angola in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Angola when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Angola, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description

This work analyzes the social and environmental impact of colonial conquest and pacification of Africa through a case study of the Angolan-Namibian borderlands. These areas were exposed to three different systems of colonial expansion: German, Portuguese, and British (South African). This study demonstrates the interactions between social and environmental factors, structures and processes and shows that colonial conquest needs to be acknowledged as a major problem.

It includes in-depth analysis of the late 19th to 20th century processes of social and environmental change at the village, household, and individual levels. It illustrates how refugees managed to restore a workable environment without massive outside aid and despite colonial exactions.

Product Description

Angola has been brutalized by the civil war, which only ended in 1992. The war's adverse effect on every facet of Angola's post-independence life is clearly evident in the range of topics covered in this volume. The human cost of the war can be counted in the enormous loss of life and large-scale population displacement and in the continued postwar deaths and serious injuries inflicted by mines. The war also severely stunted economic growth and the development of necessary social services. However, since the end of the war Angola is slowly progressing. Many people have returned to their homes to continue their life. The task of rebuilding has been greatly assisted by humanitarian aid.

Readers will learn about the nearly 100 ethnolinguistic groups and their various ways of life. Oyebade shows how religion defines the cultural character of the country. Christianity, the dominant religion, is portrayed as more urban-based, popular among the educated elite and middle class. Indigenous religious practices, still popular particularly in the rural areas, are covered as well. Oyebade celebrates the prolific Portuguese-language literary output and the skilled Angolan artists. Discussion of the traditional foods, ceremonies, music and dance, and more rounds out the coverage.

L'Angola est un pays du sud-ouest de l'Afrique, limitrophe de la République démocratique du Congo, la République du Congo, la Namibie et la Zambie. Le pays est un quadrilatère reliant l'Afrique centrale francophone à l'Afrique australe anglophone. Ancienne colonie portugaise, c'est le deuxième pays lusophone par son étendue et le troisième par sa population. L’état angolais est né en 1975. Les frontières actuelles résultent de la colonisation européenne mais les nationalités africaines priment toujours sur le sentiment national. Ce pays lusophone est membre de la CPLP. ... Read more
