Places of workwould thus share the national task of providing skills for the economy.* A substantial amount of further training directed specifically at rural develop-ment requirements should take place in the rural areas.* Existing secondary and further-education schools and technical colleges shouldbe retained and expanded, but linked directly with the needs of the economy, lessemphasis being placed on what is traditionally known as 'academic' secondaryschooling.* Further Training Centres should be established, planned to operate in close co-operation with the needs of the other Ministries, notably Commerce, Agri-culture, and Industry, Each F.T.C. should develop close links with a particularsector or sub-sector of the economy.The main message of Riddell's valuable little book is that, apart from theestablishment of basic literacy and numeracy, 'education for development' is notsomething which happens in a school; it is something which happens at work.Hence to expand education we must provide not more schools but more work-places.University of ZimbabweM.

All the chapters (apart from ones onpre-colonial production, and the early role of the British South Africa Company,which are printed in both books, and West Australian gold, printed only in thelatter) are detailed summaries of the history, geology and production of individualmines.The first book covers twenty-one mines in Mashonaland and the second bookrepeats eight of these in addition to covering twelve other mines, mainly in theMidlands and Matabeleland. Written by a geologist for a mining readership ratherthan for historians, these brief surveys are nevertheless useful sources of reference.R.S.R.
