Sedert 1994 het die nuwe grondwetlike orde die tradisionele en ortodokse reels van wetsuitleg soos handomkeer verander. Daar is now 'n nuwe woordeskat: Plain language-wetsopstelling en fundamentele waardes; grondwetlike oppergesag en menseregte; deursigtigheid en verantwoordbaarheid. Nou is wetsuitleg noodwendig beginselgedrewe en waardebelaai. In die uitgawe van wetsuitleg: 'n inleiding vir studente word al hierdie veranderings aan die hand van die 1996-Grondwet verduidelik. Die hoofstukindeling poog om tipiese wetsuitlegleerplanne aan Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite te weerspieel. Eerstens word studente bekend gestel aan wat wetgewing is, hoe dit in werking tree, en hoe dit tot 'n einde kom. Die invloed van die grondwet op wetsuitleg, asook 'n oorsig van die basiese wetsuitlegbenaderings, word bespreek. Die hoofstuk oor die teoretiese grondslae van wetsuitleg bevat ook kort besprekings oor die invloed van postmodernisme, dekonstruksie en die Critical Legal Studies-beweging op die lees en verstaan van tekste. Daarna word die toepassing van die praktiese (nuts and bolts) reels van wetsuitleg verduidelik. Aspekte soos grondwetlike simboliek en die eise van sosiale geregtigheid word ook in die laaste hoofstuk oor grondwetuitleg bespreek. Die handboek is 'n gebruikersvriendelike inleiding tot die basiese beginsels van wetsuitleg, en is hoofsaaklik op voorgraadse studente gemik. 'n Verklarende woordelys, die interpretasiewet 33 van 1957 en die Handves van regte in die grondwet word vir die gerief van studente ingesluit.

We've all heard of the big five, but what is the big six? Or the big twelve? Which is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere, and where is it situated? Who was the first South African to climb Mount Everest, and when and where was the first rugby match played in South Africa? The answers to all these questions, and many, many more, are to be found in Van Lill's South African miscellany. Categories such as nature, sport, politics and entertainment cover such diverse topics as South Africa's lighthouses, our political leaders, past and present, the nicknames of rugby players, the Johannesburg securities exchange and world famous musicians born in South Africa. This title will tell the reader about the biological diversity of South Africa, its wealth in gold, its mountains and conservation areas, its toll roads and cities, thus amply illustrating the richness and variety in this wonderful country.

Ons almal weet wat die groot vyf is, maar wat is die groot ses? Of die groot twaalf? Wat is die langste gebou in die Suidelike halfrond, en waar is dit gelee? Wie was die eerste Suid Afrikaner wat Mount Everest geklim het, en wanneer en waar was die eerste rugby wedstryd in Suid-Afrika gespeel? Die antwoorde op hierdie vrae, en op nog baie meer kan gevind word in Van Lill se Suid-Afrikaanse Trivia. Kategoriee soos natuur, sport, politiek en vermaak sluit sulke diverse onderwerpe in soos Suid-Afrikaanse lighuise, ons politieke leiers, verlede en hede, die byname van rugby spelers en wereldbekende musikante wat in Suid-Afrika gebore is. Die titel vertel die leser meer oor die biologiese diversiteit van Suid-Afrika, die land se rykdom in goud, berge en bewaringsgebiede, tolpaaie en stede en sodoende beklemtoon dit die rykdom en verskydenheid in hierdie wonderlike land.

EU member states lose hundreds of billions of euros to tax evasion every year. Tax crimes have a significant impact on the functioning of national and international economies and on the global financial system. Not only do they affect the actors involved and the state that has been deprived of tax revenues, but the citizens of those states suffer too. Tax Crimes and Enforcement in the European Union presents the findings of the EU-funded PROTAX project. Chapters written by leading experts discuss EU and national legal measures and institutional practices to counter anti-money laundering, corruption, organised crime, and tax evasion. Human factors and their role in countering tax crimes are also considered as well as whistleblower protection legislation which gives readers a rounded view of current practices within the EU. This book provides a timely and valuable comparative study of the legal and institutional background of the prosecution of tax crimes, as well as an analysis of legal measures and institutional practices to combat tax crimes on national and EU levels. It also contributes to the development of an advanced European Security Model for understanding human factors in countering tax crimes. It equips policy makers and law enforcement agencies with the dynamic toolkit they need to improve their understanding of tax crimes in the EU and provides solutions for preventing, detecting, and investigating tax crimes.

Dr Chris Barnard caused a world sensation in December 1967 by performing the first human heart transplant, transforming him overnight from an unknown surgeon into a household name. Although he wrote a number of books about himself, and his first wife, Louwtjie, wrote a book in reply to one of them, there has never been a full scale, objective biography of the man named by Time Magazine as one of only two South Africans on a list of people who had changed the world - the other being Nelson Mandela.
Chris Logan has conducted numerous interviews and done extensive research to uncover the real Chris Barnard. Logan covers Barnard's boyhood in Beaufort West, his medical training, his marriage to Louwtjie and his first fulltime job, to his becoming a surgeon, and finally succeeding in a human transplant. He discusses how Barnard became transformed into a social butterfly, wearing Italian suits and having affairs with celebrities such as Gina Lollobrigida and Francoise Hardy. He then fell in love with and married a 19-year-old model, Barbara Zoellner.
We see how he collaborated with Eschel Rhoodie's Department of Information; a period about which Logan has uncovered previously unpublished details.
His troubled relationships with children of his first marriage are described, and his divorce from Barbara due to his constant adultery. At the age of 65, he married another model, Karin Setzkorn, 24 who also divorced him. The lonely and dejected Barnard moved to Vienna where, inevitably, he became involved with an attractive lady doctor. He died in Cyprus having suffered an acute asthma attack, at the age of 78.
While the significance of the first heart transplant is still widely recognized today, Barnard remains a controversial figure.
This is the first serious assessment of the man.

Although many adults consider school to be a safe place, thousands of students suffer from some type of conflict at school each day--from name-calling and harassment to physical attacks. SCHOOL CONFLICT examines the contributing factors that lead to violence in schools and offers ways for young people to help prevent school conflicts that could otherwise lead to disaster.

Hierdie gesins- en inisiasieroman speel af in 'n spoorwegkampgemeenskap in Durban in die sestigerjare. Die verteller is die 13-jarige Timus, en saam met hom beleef ons sy inisiasieprosesse in 'n grootmenswereld, en sy waarnemings van die mense en lewe rondom hom. Timus is deel van 'n groot gesin wat dit nie breed het nie en waar die pa se beheptheid met die kerk ontstellende gevolge het. As jongste in die gesin is hy toegespin in sy eie droomwereld en ook agter by sy portuurs oor die soet en duister dinge van die lewe. Hy het 'n sterk verbeelding en sy weergawe van insidente verleen 'n magies-realistiese gevoel aan die gebeure in die roman.
