The Business Analysts completely dissolves the perception that the IT industry dictates to businesses what IT systems they will use and dispels the myth that business users and IT technicians are from different planets. It suggests how to create an environment in which everybody works together in an exciting and refreshing way – a paradigm shift in the way business analysis projects are done.

The IT industry has to move to a point where it realises that the users of IT systems and the technical personnel are both equally responsible for getting the system to work. The users of the IT system should be an integral part of the team when the system is being put together. This, unfortunately, is not the norm within the industry. It is the business analyst’s responsibility, among others, to make sure that communication flows freely between all the parties involved.

This book gives the business analyst the tools and techniques to find out what the business users of IT systems really need and to guide the project to meet those needs.

The fourth edition of Organization Theory & Design provides students with an understanding of the different approaches to designing and managing an organization.

This book of questions, exercises and problems has been prepared to accompany the textbook, A Concepts-based Introduction to Financial Accounting, by David Kolitz. It has corresponding chapters for ease of reference. Questions, Exercises and Problems in Financial Accounting can also be used independently of the Kolitz text as a tutorial tool for financial accounting courses at a tertiary level.

The questions are multiple choice and ensure understanding of a topic before moving on to the exercises and problems. The exercises are generally shorter and less complex than the problems, and can be used to develop proficiency in a topic in which students are expected to reach the standard of the problems. Where the level of the course dictates, the exercises can be used instead of the problems. The problems are longer and more complex in nature, requiring an in-depth understanding of the topic.

In addition, there are three revision sets (after chapters 10, 16 and 21) which provide comprehensive coverage of material covered in earlier chapters. These are also excellent exam preparation material.

In The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusion of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status.

Die Nederlander, Mulder, en die Suid-Afrikaner, Donald, hernu hulle weer hul vriendskap en verken weer hulle gevoelens van weleer: daar is 'n gedeelde liefde, vriende wat verraai is en ideale wat verloen is. Mulder, wat in Parys woon, besluit om in die Kaap te kom bly, terwyl Donald sy stryd voortsit in 'n verstikkende klein vissersdorpie.

'Oh Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat.'

When it comes to matters of the heart, Marianne is passionate and romantic and soon falls for the charming, but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, in contrast, copes stoically with the news that her love, Edward Ferrars is promised to another.

It is through their shared experiences of love that both sisters come to learn that the key to a successful match comes from finding the perfect mixture of rationality and feeling.

Evidential Aspects of Law Enforcement will assist law enforcement officers with gaining a clear understanding of the legal principles involved in the gathering of evidence, whether on crime scenes or during further investigations.

The book also explains the importance of effecting an arrest to facilitate the gathering of evidence from a suspect (such as fingerprints and DNA), and how the conduct of the enforcement officer may affect investigations.

Denis Cowen (1917-2007) is renowned for his work on negotiable instruments. Selected Essays presents readers with other facets of his life's work. His seminal essays and articles helped define areas of law such as constitutional law, environmental law, law of property and statutory interpretation. As a public intellectual in the liberal tradition, he spoke with great timeliness, insight and insistence, during apartheid, about the need for a court-enforceable bill of rights, academic freedom and pre-publication censorship.

Cowen on Law: Selected Essays spans more than 50 years of his lively, contentious and beautifully constructed texts. Leading legal thinkers introduce newly-accessible texts and provide us with a contemporary, evaluative lens. The book reveals to readers a fascinating mind. It also serves as an engrossing reflection on South Africa's legal past as well as the intersection of law and society.
