Since 1994 South Africa has undergone a steady erosion of its
indigenous built environment, with a concomitant loss of indigenous
building technology and its specialised terminology. This glossary
is based on the premise that you cannot understand the culture of a
people unless you have a grasp of the nuances and hidden meanings
of their language and brings together in one single volume the
terminologies that are used by southern Africa's rural builders. It
covers the terminology used by indigenous builders as well as
subsequent colonial white settlers including buildings of the
so-called Cape Dutch, English Georgian, Victorian and Indian
Traditions. The text is set out in alphabetical order. It comprises
of each term in its original language, its translation where
appropriate into isiZulu, and its definition in English and
isiZulu. One of the strengths of this book is its visual component
of accompanying sketches that expertly illustrate the terms. This
book is designed not only to assist in the teaching of
architecture, but also to aid others who are interested in the
field. Researchers and practitioners in disciplines such as
anthropology, archaeology, culture studies and building science
will find it a valuable addition to their libraries.
This state-of-the-art Research Handbook presents a comprehensive
overview of the key strategic challenges that firms face when
dealing with digital markets, platforms, and products and services,
from old strategy questions in need of different solutions to
entirely novel issues posed by the new competitive digital context.
Bringing together contributions from international experts in
digital strategy, the Research Handbook depicts the contours of the
major threads of investigation that shape the digital
transformation process at firm, platform, market, and industry
levels. Chapters explore the fundamentals of digital strategy and
digitization, the design of digital organizational architectures,
how value is created and captured through data strategies, and the
manifold challenges that firms face in the digital era. From the
impact of Big Data analytics and AI on management thinking and
practice to the nature of digital competition and user engagement
on social media platforms, the Research Handbook takes stock of
emerging issues and advancements in digital strategy research and
ultimately considers how future digital strategy frameworks might
be cultivated. This timely Research Handbook will be an invaluable
tool for students and scholars of strategic management,
international management, entrepreneurship, and technology and
innovation management. Its discussion of how digital strategy
relates to traditional strategy frameworks will also benefit
executives, entrepreneurs, and consultants with an interest in
better understanding the state of the art of digital strategy.
Over the past 30 years, merger control has become well-established
around the world with broad consensus around its ambit and
objectives. That consensus has fractured in recent years.
Enforcement today is at a critical juncture, facing an array of
challenges and calls for reform unprecedented in their scope and
intensity. Authored by leading legal practitioners, economists,
enforcers, and jurists, this timely Research Handbook on Global
Merger Control discusses various critiques that have been made and
considers an array of jurisdictional, procedural, substantive, and
other issues that are generating intense debate across the
antitrust community. These include the scope and objectives of
merger control, whether merger control can be reconciled with
industrial policy, whether the consumer welfare standard is an
appropriate tool for substantive assessment, whether merger control
should be used to meet broader policy objectives, and whether
existing rules and presumptions are appropriate for the digital
age. This Handbook will be of great value to anyone interested in
global merger control, digital markets, industrial policy, and the
role of public interest considerations. It provides an excellent
tool for academics and practitioners looking to gain a rounded view
of current issues in global merger control and an understanding of
how enforcement is likely to evolve.
This wholly new edition of the Research Handbook on International
Marine Environmental Law provides an authoritative examination of
international law relating to the protection of the marine
environment. Rather than merely revised and updated, this new
edition provides completely new and original chapters that
critically engage with current legal issues surrounding activities
that harm the marine environment, including marine pollution,
seabed activities, exploitation of marine biodiversity and climate
change, and with the different legal tools and mechanisms,
including environmental impact assessments and compliance and
dispute settlement mechanisms, used to protect the marine
environment. New chapters also address legal issues relating to the
role of technology and marine scientific research as well as the
application of principles such as public participation. Each
chapter goes beyond a survey of existing law to identify
shortcomings in the legal regime and details further work needed to
ensure effective regulation and management of human activities that
affect the marine environment. Written by eminent scholars and
practitioners, the Research Handbook on International Marine
Environmental Law is a vital resource for scholars and government
and policy practitioners, as well as for lawyers, policy advisers
and advocates who work at intergovernmental organisations and
non-governmental organisations that address marine environmental
issues.
Urban planning is deeply implicated in both the planetary crisis of
climate change and the personal crises of unhealthy lifestyles.
Worldwide health issues such as obesity, mental illness, growing
health inequalities and climate vulnerability cannot be solved

unsustainable conditions are being built into the physical fabric
of cities, a new awareness and strategy is urgently needed to
putting health and well-being at the heart of planning. The
Routledge Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-being
authoritatively and comprehensively integrates health into
planning, strengthening the hands of those who argue and plan for
healthy environments. With contributions from international leaders
in the field, the Handbook of Planning for Health and Well-being
provides context, philosophy, research, processes, and tools of
experienced practitioners through case studies from four
continents.

The history of sexuality has progressed from its earlier marginal
status to a central place in historiography. Not only are its foci
of research intriguing, but the field has initiated important
theoretical advances for the discipline as a whole, especially
through the work of Michel Foucault. The editors of this new
four-volume Routledge collection define sexuality in a broader
sense than sexual identity, to include sexual emotions, desires,
acts, representations, and relationships. And while the history of
sexuality began in the American and European spheres, the volumes
also integrate studies of Asian, African, and other sexual
cultures. Similarly, the collection integrates studies from early
periods (such as classical Greece and Rome and the medieval era)
with modern histories of sexuality. The editors of this new

liability, beginning with a fundamental explanation of what the
company is, through depictions of corporate liability in theory,
and on to the key areas of liability in practice. While including a
timeless distillation of the guiding principles, each contribution
explores the emerging boundaries of corporate liability issues so
as to bring understanding to new levels. Cross-jurisdictional and

Bringing together scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this
fascinating and timely Research Handbook provides diverse
perspectives on the law and practice of adoption. It examines how
adoption laws differ between countries and cultures, and the
ongoing effects of adoption on the child, the birth parent(s), and
the adoptive parent(s). This Research Handbook documents the
history of adoption legislation and offers comparative perspectives
on the implementation of full adoption in England and Wales, in
contrast to the use of simple adoption in other European countries.
Chapters examine the challenges facing adoption law; from adoption
without parental consent and anonymous birth, to transracial and
intercountry adoption, as well as discussing the human rights of
the child during and after the adoption process. Providing an
abundance of global research on all aspects of the topic of
adoption, Nigel Lowe and Claire Fenton-Glynn offer a comprehensive
guide to the past, present, and future of adoption law. The
Research Handbook of Adoption Law will be an indispensable resource
for students and researchers of family law and social work, as well
as human rights lawyers, legal practitioners in the field of

This comprehensive and stimulating Handbook examines the
contribution of political economy to public policy. It provides an
overview of several strands of critical political economy,
supported by case studies from OECD countries, Latin America, South
Africa, and South and East Asia. With discussions on key theories
of political economy, the Handbook introduces cultural and feminist
political economies, engaging critically with ordoliberalism and
New Public Management. Chapters feature discussions on political
economic approaches to the global division of labor,
financialization and dispossession in Latin America, ecological
perspectives on sustainability in China, global exploitation chains
in agriculture, and postcolonial criticisms of economic
development. The Handbook concludes with an exploration of the
relationship between political economy and social policy, global
health, and public policies. Providing a combination of critical
engagement with the various theories of political economy and their
application to key economic policies, this will be essential
reading for students and academics in comparative politics,
economics and finance, international relations, political economy,
public policy, and political science. Policymakers interested in
addressing socially and environmentally unsustainable practices
will also find this an illuminating and informative resource.
