Woza Albert! is one of the most popular and influential plays to
have come out of the South African cultural struggle of the 1980s
and a central work in the canon of South African theatre. Working
with the idea of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ taking place in
apartheid South Africa, the playwrights improvised a brilliant
two-man show consisting of 26 vignettes, commenting on and
satirising life under the apartheid regime. The play has become one
of the most anthologized and produced South African plays both in
South Africa, and internationally and is studied widely in schools
as well as universities. This Student Edition contains a commentary
and notes by Temple Hauptfleisch, Emeritus Professor at
Stellenbosch University, South Africa. METHUEN DRAMA STUDENT
EDITIONS are expertly annotated texts of a wide range of plays from
the modern and classic repertoires. A well as the complete text of
the play itself, this volume contains: * A contextualised
chronology of the play and the playwrights' lives and works * an
introductory discussion of the social, political, cultural and
economic context in which the play was originally conceived and
created * a succinct overview of the creation processes followed
and subsequent performance history of the piece * an analysis of,
and commentary on, some of the major themes and specific issues
addressed by the text * a bibliography of suggested primary and
secondary materials.
This new and fully revised edition of the A Biblical Hebrew
Reference Grammar serves as a user-friendly and up-to-date source
of information on the morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics
of Biblical Hebrew verbs, nouns and other word classes
(prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, modal words, negatives, focus
particles, discourse markers, interrogatives and interjections). It
also contains one of the most elaborate treatments of Biblical
Hebrew word order yet published in a grammar. Compiled by authors
with extensive experience in the teaching of Hebrew, the text is
rendered both easily accessible and a fascinating examination of
the language, building upon the initial publication by
incorporating up-to-date developments in the study of the Hebrew
Bible. This grammar will be of service both to students who have
completed an introductory or intermediate course in Biblical
Hebrew, and also to more advanced scholars seeking to take
advantage of traditional and recent descriptions of the language
that go beyond the basic morphology of Biblical Hebrew.

Bridging theory and practice, this accessible text considers
fashion from both cultural studies and fashion studies
perspectives, and addresses the growing interaction between the two
fields. Kaiser and Green use a wide range of cross-cultural case
studies to explore how race, ethnicity, class, gender and other
identities intersect and are produced through embodied fashion.
Drawing on intersectionality in feminist theory and cultural
studies, Fashion and Cultural Studies is essential reading for
students and scholars. This revised edition includes updated case
studies and two new chapters. The first new chapter explores

While the morale of an organization is an intangible element composed of feelings and attitudes of individuals and groups, the effects of morale include tangible and extremely important factors such as profits, efficiency, quality, and productivity. Low morale and its costliest indicator, high turnover, can be a tremendous drain on a company's finances. Managers often view morale as mysterious and unpredictable, when in fact it is a measurable, controllable expense. The High Cost of Low Morale explores the underlying causes of low morale and offers you field-proven, practical methods for increasing morale and reducing turnover in your organization.
This widely adopted text starts with the fundamentals--what is economic growth, what is development, and what is the relationship between these two concepts? The authors examine orthodox theories of growth grounded in different schools of economics (classical, neoclassical, Keynesian, neoliberal) before considering critical alternatives (Marxist, socialist, poststructuralist, and feminist). The book elucidates the basic ideas that underpin contemporary controversies and debates surrounding economic growth, environmental crisis, and global inequality. It highlights points of contention among the various theories andlinks them to historical and current world events.

Since its first publication, Teaching Secondary School Mathematics has established itself as one of the most respected and popular texts for both pre-service and in-service teachers. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the major changes brought about by the introduction of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics, as well as discussing significant research findings, the evolution of digital teaching and learning technologies, and the implications of changes in education policies and practices.
The mathematical proficiencies that now underpin the Australian curriculum -- understanding, fluency, problem solving and reasoning -- are covered in depth in Part 1, and a new section is devoted to the concept of numeracy. The chapter on digital tools and resources has been significantly expanded to reflect the growing use of these technologies in the classroom, while the importance of assessment is recognised with new material on assessment for learning and as learning, along with a consideration of policy development in this area. Important research findings on common student misconceptions and new and effective approaches for teaching key mathematical skills are covered in detail.
As per the first edition readers will find a practical guide to pedagogical approaches and the planning and enactment of lessons together with enhanced chapters on teaching effectively for diversity, managing issues of inequality and developing effective relationships with parents and the community.
This book is the essential pedagogical tool for every emerging teacher of secondary school mathematics.

The rapid diffusion of technology in tourism and hospitality,
coupled with the fragmenting and consolidating nature of tourism
and hospitality sector, has demanded an increased emphasis on
marketing communication strategies: how they can meet the changing
and challenging demands of modern consumers, and ultimately
maintain a company's competitive edge.
Marketing Communications for Tourism and Hospitality: concepts,
strategies and cases is the first text to discuss this vital
discipline specifically for the tourism and hospitality industry.
Using specific contemporary case studies, such as lastminute.com,
Starwood and Easyjet, it explains and critiques the practice and
theory with relation to this industry. It provides readers with a
critical theoretical overview of the role that communication places
in the delivery and representation of hospitality and tourism
services, and provides a practical guide to techniques and skills
needed to develop, understand, interpret and implement
communications strategies within a management context.

In Other Words has been the definitive coursebook for students studying translation for nearly three decades. Assuming no knowledge of foreign languages, it offers a practical guide based on extensive research in areas as varied as lexis, grammar, pragmatics, semiotics and ethics. It thus provides a solid basis for training a new generation of well-informed, critical students of translation.
Drawing on linguistic theory and social semiotics, the third edition of this best-selling text guides trainee translators through the variety of decisions they will have to make throughout their career. Each chapter offers an explanation of key concepts, identifies potential sources of translation difficulties related to those concepts and illustrates various strategies for resolving these difficulties. Authentic examples of translated texts from a wide variety of languages and genres are examined, and practical exercises and further reading are included at the end of each chapter.
The third edition has been fully revised to reflect recent developments in the field and includes a new chapter that engages with the interplay between verbal and visual elements in genres as varied as children’s literature, comics, film, poetry and advertisements.
This key text remains the essential coursebook for any student of translation studies.

Health Economics: An International Perspective is the only textbook to provide a truly international, comparative treatment of health economics. Offering an analysis of health systems across borders, the fourth edition of this key text has been updated and revised to take account of changes in a host of countries.
This edition features an expanded introduction, providing better grounding for many of the examples that come in subsequent chapters and making it easier for non-health care experts to see the links between the theory, the examples and the health care system components. It also boasts a restructured format, dividing the book into two broad sections: the first focuses on ideas and principles, along with evidence on their applications in the health sector, whereas the second focuses on introducing core tools and techniques used in applied health economics research.
Further updates to this edition include:
two new chapters on applied econometrics;
a new chapter on equity, focusing on equity in access to health care, paying particular attention to how access and need for health care are defined and measured in applied research;
a new chapter on emerging issues for health systems that are emanating from a series of global transitions both within (e.g. demographic change, epidemiological change, the global resolution on universal health coverage) and without the health sector (e.g. economic transitions).
Throughout the text, examples and illustrations are taken from a wide range of settings and world regions, providing a unique overview of the performance of different health systems.

Conclusion
/
Journalism is a pool staffed by distracted lifeguards and no matter how fancy your school is, your first week in a real newsroom will feel like a shove in the small of the back into 15 feet of water. Most of us come up for air eventually, but if you’re like journalist and educator Colleen Steffen, you may still be left feeling like all that training in inverted pyramids and question lists left something important out: you!
Journalism is people managing, wrestling truth and story out of the messy, confusing raw material that is a human being, and the messiest human involved can often be the reporter themselves. So it’s time to talk about it. Instead of nervously skirting the sizable EQ (emotional intelligence) portion of this IQ (intelligence intelligence) enterprise, Soft Skills for the New Journalist explores how it FEELS to do this strange, hard, amazing job—and how to use those feelings to better your work and yourself.
