the education and training of students. Well-qualified nurse
educators in South Africa enhance the quality of the development of
student nurses, and therefore enhance the quality of nursing care.
Nurse educator in practice incorporates the latest legislation and
applies didactics in theoretical as well as clinical nursing
education, using examples to illustrate the text. The title has
been specifically written to cover the requirements for
registration as a nurse educator at the South African Nursing
Council.

Ecotourism continues to be embraced as the antithesis of mass
tourism because of its promise of achieving sustainability through
conservation mindedness, community development, education and
learning, and the promotion of nature based activities that were
sensitive to both ecological and social systems. The extent to
which this promise has been realised is open to debate. Focusing on
an array of economic, social and ecological inconsistencies that
continue to plague ecotourism in theory and practice, the volume
examines ecotourism in reference to other related forms of tourism,
impacts, conservation, sustainability, education and
interpretation, policy and governance, and the ethical imperative
of ecotourism as these apply to the world's greenest form of
tourism. Ecotourism is a growing field attracting increasing
attention from students and academics. Fennell provides an
authoritative and comprehensive review of the most important issues
that continue to both plague ecotourism and make it one of the most
dynamic sectors in the tourism industry. It covers a comprehensive
range of themes and geographical regions. Building on the success
of prior editions, Ecotourism has been revised throughout to
incorporate recent research and benefits from the introduction of
real-life case studies and summaries of recent literature. An
essential reference for those interested in Ecotourism, the book is
accessible to students but retains the depth required for use by
researchers and practitioners in the field. New chapters on the
theory and application of animal ethics; community development in
sustainable tourism; and education and learning in the field have
added further value to an already very comprehensive volume. This
book will be of interest to students across a range of disciplines
including geography, economics, business, ethics, biology, and
environmental studies.

That branch of the Lake of Como, which turns toward the south
between two unbroken chains of mountains, presenting to the eye a
succession of bays and gulfs, formed by their jutting and retiring
ridges, suddenly contracts itself between a headland to the right
and an extended sloping bank on the left, and assumes the flow and
appearance of a river. The bridge by which the two shores are here
united, appears to render the transformation more apparent, and
marks the point at which the lake ceases, and the Adda recommences,
to resume, however, the name of Lake where the again receding banks
allow the water to expand itself anew into bays and gulfs. The
bank, formed by the deposit of three large mountain streams,
descends from the bases of two contiguous mountains, the one called
St. Martin, the other by a Lombard name, Resegone, from its long
line of summits, which in truth give it the appearance of a saw; so
that there is no one who would not at first sight, especially
viewing it in front, from the ramparts of Milan that face the
north, at once distinguish it in all that extensive range from
other mountains of less name and more ordinary form. The bank, for
a considerable distance, rises with a gentle and continual ascent,
then breaks into hills and hollows, rugged or level land, according
to the formation of the mountain rocks, and the action of the
floods. Its extreme border, intersected by the mountain torrents,
is composed almost entirely of sand and pebbles; the other parts of
fields and vineyards, scattered farms, country seats, and villages,
with here and there a wood which extends up the mountain side.
Lecco, the largest of these villages, and which gives its name to
the district, is situated at no great distance from the bridge,
upon the margin of the lake; nay, often, at the rising of the
waters, is partly embosomed within the lake itself; a large town at
the present day, and likely soon to become a city. At the period of
our story, this village was also fortified, and consequently had
the honour to furnish quarters to a governor, and the advantage of
possessing a permanent garrison of Spanish soldiers, who gave
lessons in modesty to the wives and daughters of the neighbourhood,
and toward the close of summer never failed to scatter themselves
through the vineyards, in order to thin the grapes, and lighten for
the rustics the labours of the vintage. From village to village,
from the heights down to the margin of the lake, there are
innumerable roads and paths: these vary in their character; at
times precipitous, at others level; now sunk and buried between two
ivy-clad walls, from whose depth you can behold nothing but the
sky, or some lofty mountain peak; then crossing high and level
tracts, around the edges of which they sometimes wind, occasionally
projecting beyond the face of the mountain, supported by prominent
masses resembling bastions, whence the eye wanders over the most
varied and delicious landscape. On the one side you behold the blue
lake, with its boundaries broken by various promontories and necks
of land, and reflecting the inverted images of the objects on its
banks; on the other, the Adda, which, flowing beneath the arches of
the bridge, expands into a small lake, then contracts again, and
holds on its clear serpentining course to the distant horizon:
above, are the ponderous masses of the shapeless rocks; beneath,
the richly cultivated acclivity, the fair landscape, the bridge; in
front, the opposite shore of the lake, and beyond this, the
mountain, which bounds the view.

Housley, Romance Junkies"
Can a woman run a business and provide for a family in Jamaica
in1692? Juliana Dutton intends to find out. With an ailing father
and a wastrel for a brother, she has no choice. But she must keep
her activities a secret or face destitution. When a nosey suitor
threatens everything, she spurns him and instead becomes engaged to
the town idiot, Lord Munthrope. But is he an idiot? The more her
problems push her closer to the man, the more she realizes he is
not who he seems.
Alexander Hyde, the Pirate Earl, is the most feared pirate in the
Caribbean-feared, successful, wealthy, handsome, and bored, so
terribly bored. When an unexpected event allows him to get close to
Juliana, a woman he has loved from afar for years, he takes it. But
leading a double life causes more problems than it's worth. A
restless crew and a long-time enemy out to capture and hang Alex,
put Juliana in grave danger.
As tremors rock the city of Port Royal, Juliana's faith in God is
equally shaken. Not only have things gotten worse, but she is
confused by her feelings for both Munthrope and the Pirate Earl.
Deception, intrigue, mutiny, death, betrayal, all attempt to tear
the lovers apart. But the final blow comes when a massive
earthquake strikes the city and threatens to sink it into the sea.
The Ransom is a journey not soon forgotten. . . "Cindy Vallar,

incredible images and fun activities to help children learn
everything they need to know about the fastest things on the
planet. 100 Facts Speed covers key topics about high-speed
machines, animals and people in easily-digestible, numbered facts.
Every page features amazing illustrations and photographs that
clarify difficult points for children. Essential topics covered in
100 Facts Speed: - Units of measure, the concept of relativity and
the idea of velocity - Naturally fast movers and man-made speed
machines - The fastest speed - the speed that light travels
Examples of 'I don't believe it' fascinating facts: - If sprinters
have a wind faster than 2 metres per second blowing them along,
their times cannot count as record-breakers. Otherwise they could
gain 0.2 seconds over 100 metres! - Tornadoes on Earth have wind
speeds of over 350 kilometres per hour. On planet Neptune, storm
winds blow over six times faster, at 2200 kilometres per hour! -
Head-to-toe swimsuits covered with thousands of tiny 'teeth', like
real shark skin, increase swimming speed but are banned in official
races. Activities to make learning accessible and interactive
include: - Host a worm Olympics by rolling up sheets of paper into
tubes and placing some worms at the 'start' line - see who wins the
race! - Quiz question: Which are faster - radio waves, microwaves
or X-rays? - Measure how important distance is for an object to
gain more energy by dropping a tennis ball down a ramp made of card
at different heights. Does it roll further from higher up? Author:
