Opis

Kenya Coast Handbook is dedicated to the Kenya Coast and its hinterland. The region, a popular tourist destination, is considered by many to be relatively undeveloped, despite the presence of Mombasa, the country's second largest town and a key East African seaport. This book explores developmental possibilities in the region taking into account physical resources and environment, ethnicity, politics, tourism, education and nutrition. Its twenty-five chapters detail the region's history, economy, human resources, and prospects for development. The book, which contains a large bibliography and statistical information section, is a standard work for anyone with a professional interest in the East-African coastal region in general and the Kenya coast in particular.
