Hello Tim, here are some more references: http://www.zef.de/publications, then "Books/Series", there (...ZEF edits three book series...) Ecology and Development Series at Cuvillier Verlag, Göttingen; click this and scroll down to No. 4 (author: Kayuki Crammer Kaizzi) and 2. (author: Dougbedji Fatondji); both articels in PDF. Sorry, the direct link is not working or possible.
