Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

All students are required to write assignments. Despite this, there
seem to be few books available that provide concise guidelines as
to how to compile them. Those that are available are often outdated
and complicated, and do not illustrate well how the information,
once gathered, should be integrated and implemented. Assignment
writing uses practical examples to show clearly how to approach and
write an assignment. Contents include the following: The process of
assessing, planning, writing, editing and handing in an assignment;
Technical requirements, such as the use of scientific language,
abbreviations, tables and figures, as well as neatness and binding;
Referencing techniques and the compilation of a list of sources;
Formatting the document, from cover to cover. Assignment writing is
aimed at all students needing to produce assignments to the
standard required by tertiary institutions.
It has been very difficult over the years for collectors to know
just what has been produced from the works of Tolkien, and where it
can be purchased. There is not, and has never been, any 'official'
Lord of the Rings cataloguing. Clear and specific documentation has
been almost impossible to find, and any listing that has been
available has been a patchwork at best. Over the last few years,
the Internet has become a great source of assistance through
various webrings that connect the many Lord of the Rings fans. This
four-colour, highly graphic book will provide information on all
things Tolkien; books, calendars, toys and movie memorabilia. Both
the novice and die-hard collector will find this guide helpful and
like the new film trilogy from Peter Jackson, make us believe
again.

A productive writer writes regularly, produces goal-directed
written work and enjoys the process. Productive writing addresses
the problem of why some people publish with ease and others
struggle, and seeks to take the non-productive writer and turn him
or her into a prolific one. Important themes in the book are
dealing with writer's block, procrastination and making time to
write. An array of explanations, research and activities is
presented to encourage exploring, thinking, speculating, testing,
documenting, questioning and developing authority. Crafting the
document itself is just one part of the writing spectrum. The
increasing focus on research and publishing at universities and
universities of technology makes this book an important
contribution to the available literature on research. Addressing
throughput for postgraduate students and output for academic staff,
the book is aimed at both these categories. Productive writing
complements two earlier research books by Cecile Badenhorst,
Research writing and Dissertation writing, and focuses on important
aspects of research that are not covered in those books.
