Abstract: The economic and health considerations of infant feeding in developing nations are described. A theoretical model is presented which evaluates the value of breast feeding according to its overall benefits and costs. Breast feeding is deemed to be a cost effective feeding mode which promotes the health and nutritional status of infants. Numerical data are provided which illustrate the implications of hypothesized changes in breast feeding patterns in the Ivory Coast and Ghana.

A landmark in the debate on the future of public policy."—The Washington Post.

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR NONFICTION • An acclaimed journalist sets a new standard for bold, in-depth reporting in this first-hand account of life inside the penal system at Sing Sing. “Newjack is about as good as it gets—by turns gripping, funny, frightening, and sad.” —The Washington Post Book World When Ted Conover’s request to shadow a recruit at the New York State Corrections Officer Academy was denied, he decided to apply for a job as a prison officer himself. The result is an unprecedented work of eyewitness journalism: the account of Conover's year-long passage into storied Sing Sing prison as a rookie guard, or "newjack." As he struggles to become a good officer, Conover angers inmates, dodges blows, and attempts, in the face of overwhelming odds, to balance decency with toughness. Through his insights into the harsh culture of prison, the grueling and demeaning working conditions of the officers, and the unexpected ways the job encroaches on his own family life, we begin to see how our burgeoning prison system brutalizes everyone connected with it. An intimate portrait of a world few readers have ever experienced, Newjack is a haunting journey into a dark undercurrent of American life.

In "Shock of Gray," Ted Fishman explains the astouding economic and political changes we face as our world suddenly grows old.

This humorous book will entertain you for hours. Based on a small mill village in SC and surrounding areas it will make you laugh out loud.
