Half of the worlds people live in urban areas; and roughly a third of these live in desperate poverty without access to basic amenities. Taking on the themes of UN-HABITATs Water and Sanitation in the Worlds Cities (2003); this new volume focuses on the deficiencies in the provision of water and sanitation where most of the populations of the developing world live: in towns and small cities. Drawing on extensive unpublished research and 15 commissioned papers from experts involved in designing and implementing innovative projects around the world; this is the first major study of the problems facing the smaller urban centres that are recognized to be of enormous importance by governments; international agencies; NGOs and service providers. Tackling these problems is a crucial part of development and of good governance; and critical to meeting the Millennium Development Goals. The volume will be essential reading for all professionals and researchers in the relevant fields and a valuable resource for teachers and students of urban development.

It is presented in a clear. logical sequence and provides valuable tips for getting the most out of your camera. It may be titled for "DUMMIES". but at no time does it talk down to its reader. You certainly are NOT a "DUMMIE" if you pick up this title.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Perfect!By John C. CurtisWell organized. contains accurate. concise and clear information and has DRAMATICALLY improved the "tricks" that I now use with my V1 and J1. In particular. I have attempted to push the V1 to match the functionality of my D7000 to the extent that it is possible; this book has given me clear indications of what is and is not possible and the implementation of some features that are simply not adequately described by Nikon in the user manual.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
