Kontraktereg Algemene Beginsels volg 'n analitiese benadering tot die begrippe, beginsels en reels wat op kontrakte betrekking het, en plaas terselfdertyd kontrakte en die kontraktereg in 'n breer regswetenskaplike, grondwetlike en sosiale konteks. Die krag van Kontraktereg Algemene Beginsels le in die skrywers se omvattende gesamentlike kennis van die gemeenregtelike beginsels en die filosofiese onderbou van die kontraktereg, sowel as die invloed van die Grondwet as die bron van afdwingbare sosiale waardes en openbare belang. Die resultaat is 'n werk wat 'n grondige uiteensetting en ontleding van die teoretiese grondslag en struktuur van die Suid-Afrikaanse kontraktereg kombineer met 'n bespreking van die howe se toepassing van die beginsels. Waar die reg nog nie bepaal is nie, word uiteenlopende menings beoordeel en oplossings voorgestel, soms ook met verwysing na buitelandse jurisdiksies. Die werk besin ook oor die koers wat ingeslaan behoort te word om die kontraktereg in ooreenstemming met grondwetlike norme te ontwikkel. Voorstelle word gemaak oor die rol van goeie trou in die sluiting en uitvoering van kontrakte, synde een van die moontlike grondslae vir die ontwikkeling van die gemenereg. Hierdie vyfde uitgawe van Kontraktereg Algemene Beginsels neem kennis van die jongste ontwikkelings in die kontraktereg, veral met betrekking tot die uitwerking van grondwetlike jurisprudensie, goeie trou en nuwe wetgewing oor kontrakte, in die besonder die Wet op Verbruikersbeskerming. Die skrywers bespreek die jongste hofbeslissings om die betrokke regsbeginsels en wetlike bepalings te verduidelik.

This book demystifies and explains a subject that affects every one of us in our private lives and at work. Security is a practical discipline concerned with safeguarding lives, property, information, wealth, reputations, and social wellbeing. It is the basis of civilised society. People, businesses, and nations cannot thrive in its absence, whereas the right kind of security frees us to live fulfilling lives. But deciding what is needed, and then making it happen, is not easy. The threats to our security are complex and continually evolving, as criminals, hackers, terrorists, and hostile foreign states continually find new ways of staying one step ahead of us, their potential victims. At the same time, we are continually creating new vulnerabilities as we adopt new technologies and new ways of working. Those who do not understand the fundamentals of security, risk, and resilience open themselves, and those around them, to avoidable dangers, needless anxieties, and unnecessary costs. Inadequate security may leave them exposed to intolerable risks, while the wrong kind of security is expensive, intrusive, and ineffective. In his essential new book, world-leading security expert Paul Martin sets out the ten most important guiding principles of protective security and resilience. Clearly expressed in the form of simple but powerful rules of thumb, their purpose is to help solve complicated problems for which there are no textbook solutions. The rules offer a powerful toolkit, designed to work in many different situations, including the cyber domain. When we are faced with novel problems requiring complex decisions, it is easy to focus on the wrong things. These rules remind us what really matters. The psychological and behavioural aspects of security are key themes throughout the book. People lie at the heart of security. The criminals, terrorists, and hackers are social animals with complex emotions and psychological predispositions. So too are the victims of those attackers and the security practitioners who strive to protect us. The human dimension is therefore crucial to understanding security. The Rules of Security will help anyone with an interest in their own security and that of their home, family, business, or society. It will be indispensable to those in positions of responsibility, allowing them to understand how best to protect their organisation, people, and assets. It assumes no expert technical knowledge and explains the ideas in clear and simple terms. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in security. If you read only one book about security, it should be this one.

Informed by international law, international relations and environment management scholarship, this interdisciplinary analysis of environmental regimes in Asian subregions proposes a new regime for the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau based on China's cooperation with its south Asian neighbors. After evaluating the nine existing environmental regimes across the subregions of southwest, central, southeast and northeast Asia, Simon Marsden proposes a tenth regime for the cross subregion in south and east Asia known as the Third Pole. The role of China in connection with each of the existing agreements - as lender, dialogue partner or Party - is a key aspect of the analysis, considering it in developmental, legal and political contexts. Conclusions recommend future research to progress efforts in developing such a regime and caution the need for context in any legal transplant. This book will have a strong appeal for international environmental law and environmental planning and management researchers. Meanwhile those in international relations or international politics will find valuable insights in the book's exploration of relationships between the states of each subregion and China, whilst coverage of the regulation of oil and gas, hydroelectricity and exploitation of other resources will be of great interest to energy law scholars and practitioners.
