"L'adolescence est devenue, au Bénin comme dans tous les pays d'Afrique sub-saharienne, une question de société. Ce livre, première grande synthèse sociodémographique sur ce sujet au Bénin, est fondé sur des analyses originales des données de l'enquête nationale réalisée par l'Institut National de la Statistique et de l'Analyse Economique en collaboration avec la représentation de l'UNICEF. Trois grands thèmes sont traités. 1/ Le vécu de l'adolescence : accès à la globalisation ; bien-être subjectif ; VIH/SIDA et sexualité ; tabagisme et consommation d'alcool ; discipline des enfants et violences conjugales. 2/ Le début de la vie féconde : mariages des enfants ; grossesses précoces ; soins prénatals ; poids à la naissance et allaitement. 3/ L'adolescence et la préparation du dividende démographique : fécondité et contraception ; soins postnatals et vaccination des enfants ; apprentissages préscolaires ; éducation et genre ; vulnérabilité sanitaire des ménages (eau et assainissement). La richesse des analyses et la rigueur méthodologique n'excluent pas une grande clarté, ce qui rend ce livre accessible aussi bien aux spécialistes qu'aux non spécialistes intéressés par cette question cruciale pour l'avenir du Bénin et de l'Afrique."--Page 4 of cover.

"When Sports Illustrated declared on the cover of a June 2014 issue that the Houston Astros would win the World Series in 2017, people thought Ben Reiter, the article's author, was crazy. The Astros were the worst baseball team in half a century, but they were more than just bad. They were an embarrassment, a club that didn't even appear to be trying to win. The cover story, combined with the specificity of Reiter's claim, met instant and nearly universal derision. But three years later, the critics were proved improbably, astonishingly wrong. How had Reiter predicted it so accurately? And, more important, how had the Astros pulled off the impossible?" -- Amazon.com.

One in every six persons in Asia and the Pacific has some form of disability. This amounts to 650 million men, women and children. The number is expected to rise over the next decades due to population ageing, natural disasters, chronic health conditions, road traffic injuries, poor working conditions and other factors. This publication presents the region and world with the first regional comprehensive progress report on participation of persons with disabilities in development opportunities. It derives its substance from the midpoint review of the current Asian and Pacific Decade of Persons with Disabilities, 2013-2022, and the implementation of the Incheon Strategy to "Make the Right Real" for Persons with Disabilities in Asia and the Pacific. It provides policymakers across different ministries, as well as civil society and persons with disabilities, with the chance to reflect on the current status of disability-inclusive development in the region, and set forward a path ensuring that persons with disabilities are included and empowered across all dimensions of sustainable development.

There is a long history of governments, businesses, science and citizens producing and utilising data in order to monitor, regulate, profit from, and make sense of the urban world. Recently, we have entered the age of big data, and now many aspects of everyday urban life are being captured as data and city management mediated through data-driven technologies. Data and the City is the first edited collection to provide an interdisciplinary analysis of how we come to know and govern cities and the implications of such a transformation. This book looks at the creation of real-time cities and data-driven urbanism and considers the relationships at play. By taking a philosophical, political, practical and technical approach to urban data, the authors analyse the ways in which data is produced and framed within socio-technical systems. They then examine the constellation of existing and emerging urban data technologies. The volume concludes by considering the social and political ramification of data-driven urbanism, questioning whom it serves and for what ends. This book, the companion volume to 2016's Code and the City, offers the first critical reflection on the relationship between data, data practices and the city, and how we come to know and understand cities through data. It will be crucial reading for those who wish to understand and conceptualize urban big data, data-driven urbanism, and the development of smart cities.

"In 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Gregg v. Georgia that the death penalty was constitutional if it complied with certain specific provisions designed to ensure that it was reserved for the 'worst of the worst'. The same court had rejected the death penalty just four years before in the Furman decision because it found that the penalty had been applied in a capricious and arbitrary manner. The 1976 decision ushered in the 'modern' period of the U.S. death penalty, setting the country on a course to execute over 1,400 inmates in the ensuing years, with over 8,000 individuals currently sentenced to die. Now, forty years after the decision, the eminent political scientist Frank Baumgartner along with a team of younger scholars (Marty Davidson, Kaneesha Johnson, Arvind Krishnamurthy, and Colin Wilson) have collaborated to assess the empirical record and provide a definitive account of how the death penalty has been implemented."-- Provided by publisher.
