Reviews 7 books on African pastoralism, an important yet presently underdeveloped economic resource.

The actions of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are examined as an example of the responsiveness of a public agency to changes in PO, determined through its issuance of airworthiness directives (AWDs) & newspaper coverage of airline safety in the New York Times, Washington Post, & Los Angeles Times between 1975 & 1979. It is shown that the number of AWDs issued by the FAA to the airline industry: (1) rises following an increase in public concern over aviation safety, as measured by the amount of newspaper coverage accorded the issue; (2) falls following a presumed increase in industry opposition to AWDs, as measured by the number of aircraft accidents that occurred in previous periods; & (3) does not increase following an increase in the number of safety defects discovered, as measured by the number of accidents & flights occurring in earlier periods. 1 Table, 8 References.
