Innovation Africa by Olugbenga Adesida, Geci Karuri-Sebina and Joaao Resende-Santos (eds.)
A review found Innovation Africa: Emerging Hubs of Excellence not only illustrates "Africa’s experience with innovation to date but also point[s] to its power for transformation. From the very onset, one is reminded that 'Africa is no longer the place it was in the past … the technological innovations taking place on the continent today offer the promise of transforming African countries from trading mainly in materials and commodities to trading in knowledge-intensive products.'".
A review found the book "is a timely and useful book, using what the author describes as a sociological approach. The book certainly has the potential to deepen our insights into the social phenomenon of health as presented by the social determinants of health research literature."2018

Mongolia, at the time, was in the grip of "the biggest peacetime, post-WWII economic collapse." Yet despite the many obstacles, Mongolia's pioneering online publishing projects inspired others.

Award-winning, it was called one of the "most admired" public sector websites in the UK at the time (2001 to 2003).2001
