Research is the hallmark of intellectualdevelopment and the hub of academiclearning in higher education. Learning inhigher education demands that thelearners looks for given ideas anddiscovers new information activated bynew ideas. Learning involves a properrealignment of the old and the new inorder to produce new knowledge fromexperience. The learner must balancethesis with antithesis to produce thesynthesis or resulting idea. Even thoughresearch is technical in approach, theapplication of language is central to it inthe sense that what is discovered, theproduct of findings, must be reportedthrough the medium of language.

Most second language learners ofEnglish have very brilliant ideas of whatto write if confronted with any writingtask, but they do not possess thenecessary skill in the use of English toeffect good writing. The major concernof this book therefore is to acquaint andequip learners wi th necessaryingredients for effective English usage.

A Season of Harvest

Eyes of Wind,

is a virginexploration of the poet’s traditional andlyrical sensibility, which was influencedby his childhood and adolescentexposure to the cult of magic, rituals,egungun, Igogo and harvest of festivalsin the grove of Iselu and Isaipen quarters,int eh ancient of Owo, Ondo State,Nigeria. It is an epic literary masterpiecewhose plot is woven around the ritualharvest celebration of a deceasedhunter’s son, Ogundele.

In I conveyed the power ofpoetic revels, the mystic charm thatsublime knowledge bestows on the poet.I utilised the word when made to bear theweight of life, in various ways, Idisplayed the oracle and its rhythm that isbeyond the natural. I explored the prodsof prophecies with words or moods thatare proactive. I reached all of life with thecolour of the written word.

These, as the author showed, were themost discernible ingredients of what hetermed the BMS Disease. Hence, theauthor, here, as in the , sought tocomfort the afflicted and afflict thecomfortable.

This book is a product of thirteenscholars none of whom has had less thanfive years teaching and researchexperience at the tertiary level. Itaddresses the multidisiciplinaryconcerns of communication studieswhich some have ignorantly pigeon-holded as mass communication. Muchof what this text is about reflects thethinking of the Uyo School ofC o m m u n i c a t i o n w h i c h s e e scommunication and other pedagogicalissues connected to it as too large to beboxed into a limiting psychologicalcloset which has today tended toseparate academic brethren. Essentiallythis text has been honed in thecommunication arts school where it isumbilically linked to the earlyphilosophy of late Professor S. O. Unohand his Ibadan School.

deals with theproduction, and the socio-political roleof the mass media. It gives an insightinto some of the methods used by themass media to bring information to thepublic, their socio-economic role, andthe extent to which they are prepared togo in that service to the society. Thebook recalls some in thepress written by the author to underscorethe types of public issues which aboundin Nigerian media practices.

isan intellectual package containing thedifferent arguments as well as solutionsproffered by esteemed scholars inNigerian socio-economic and politicalproblems. It explains the role of theNigerian mass media toward providingthe needed information network forsustainable national development.

The book alsocovers the perspective, technical andpublic relation skills needed by theemergent group of persons who areentering into publishing for the first time.The under-graduates, postgraduates, pro-fessionals and researchers will find thebook relevant in their respectiveendeavours.Moreso, the book will be of benefit togovernment officials, book- policymakers, libraries of tertiary institutionsand the general public.

This manual has been prepared especiallyfor those who want to improve theirwriting skills in the school of Journalismand Communications, University ofFlorida. It was written by Professor HughW. Cunningham, who has helped developthe course over the years.

provides anoverview of the skills relevant tojournalistic writing.

Government, Society and Economy: AnIntroduction to the Social Sciences

Effects of Structural AdjustmentProgramme on Labour Unions inNigeria

isessentially an introduction to the studyof the disciplines under social science tonon- social scientists. The use oftechnical expressions is therefore, aspractically as possible avoided.Nevertheless the book will be useful tosocial science students who require aneasy source of information.

will be inestimable value for allthe actors in the national industrialrelations system and students of labourrelations in Nigeria, labour economist,sociologists and academics. It examinedthe Structural Adjustment Programmeintroduced by the Military regime inNigeria in 1986, its effects on themembership, fund, administration andprogrammes of the industrial unions.The adverse effect of this programmewas the result which this publication hasto unfold.

The book has analytically dissectedNigeria from her era of boundlessoptimism in the 1960’s to that ofpessimism about the economy usingdifferent but intellectually related toolsof analysis with a central focus on thedecade of Structural AdjustmentProgramme (SAP).

All the contributors individuallyproffered the way forward out of thesocio-political and economic quagmirethe country has been plunged by SAP.Inquisitive scholars, practitioners andlaymen both within Nigeria and Overseawill find this book of great benefit.

The varied but vitally inter-dependentaspects of poultry production, like the roles ofhygiene and management, nutrition, diseaseprevention and control in production efficiencyare well highlighted and uniquely assembled inthe book. This together with a rare extension ofthe scope of a book through the inclusion ofmanagement and disease control practices inbreeders and hatcheries brings an essential bodyof knowledge in one composite piece to thedoorsteps of readers. Basic and applicableinformation on major diseases like coccidiosis,mycoplasmosis and Marek’s disease are alsowell covered in the text.
