Crosswind has discovered a new tribe of people. This is exciting, but not momentous. After all, there are already five tribes of feathered people who live near enough to trade with. This new tribe, however, has no feathers. They are mammals, and if the individual had not succeeded in teaching her bits of its language, she would not have believed such a thing possible. When the mammal found her injured and grounded, it offered food, protection, and the fundamentals of its language, allowing her partner, Quickwit, to return home and seek help. Mark Rollins has come with his parents to settle on a planet the government of Earth calls Tigris. It's a great adventure. Full of exploration and helping his parents build a new life. Then he found Crosswind and discovered she was a person, with feathers. The friendship between them grows, spurring efforts to link their two cultures. Yet differences hold hurdles to true peace between their peoples, and in the end, Crosswind will betray her human friend by destroying the human colony's technology, and Mark will have to decide whether to take revenge and subject her to punishment or to choose forgiveness and keep her secret. In the end, he chooses to keep her secret and let the hardship inflicted on his own people go unpunished.

Development Studies and Colonial Policy

By: Barbara Ingham,Colin Simmons

First Published in 1987. This volume is the product of a number of meetings held by the Third World History and Development Study Group, which is one of several study groups sponsored by the Development Studies Association. The Group was formed in 1978 at the Development Studies Association Conference held at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. It comprises people who for one reason or another wish to raise the status of historical work within development studies, seeking to redefine the scope and enlarge upon its role. The present collection of essays represents research which has been done both on procedures and methodology in development studies, and on colonialism as a historical process relevant to the study of underdevelopment.

Self-Efficacy Shapes Modernization

Evidence from Smallholder Farmers in Ghana

By: Barbara Drosten

Self-efficacy (SE) is the critical link between environment, culture, institutions, modernization, and development. It enables adaptive learning from environmental stimuli, and fosters agency, cooperation, goal setting, openness, opportunity recognition, and longer-term planning. SE can be regarded as fertilizer for any policy measure. Research amongst smallholder farmers in South Ghana shows that historical return on investment culturally bequeathed investment SE, which largely influences today's farming investment and household income. SE is well malleable and perceptive to intentional promotion.
