Toward Interspecies Art and Design
Urbanization severely reduces opportunities for nonhuman habitation and undermines nonhuman subjectivities, aesthetic experiences, behaviors, traditions, and cultures. In response, humans need to reimagine cities as places for interspecies cohabitation. In this article, a team of architects and ecologists demonstrates that such reimagination depends on the cultural behaviors of multiple species. The authors illustrate the implications of this dep…

Preliminary Note on an Agricultural Innovation in Mando Chiefdom, Sierra Leone
This article describes a swamp rice development scheme initiated in Mando Chiefdom, Sierra Leone, in 1965.

Several reasons for this increasing acceptance of the program are discussed. The article offers corroboration of the findings o…
Business Failure in a Developing Town
Thirty-one business failures distributed among six types of enterprise (market woman, hawker, produce middleman, petty shopkeeper, large shopkeeper, and petrol station operator) were studied in the railroad town of Pendembu, Sierra Leone. The combined number of failures due to misuse of capital and overextension of credit equals those due to family obligations. This finding is contrary to previous studies linking entrepreneurial failure to the ex…
