The motivation for this particular law of obligations is the notion that the core assumptions of the dogmatic structure of each field, and of the law of obligations as a whole, can be expected to begin to show their imperfections more clearly the further one moves from the centre, and that this kind of examination affords an opportunity to reassess both the current premises in each field as well as the overall structure of obligations.

Psychology Research Methods is a foundational textbook designed for undergraduate and graduate psychology students studying research methodology. The book introduces the theory and practice of research methods in psychology, addressing primarily quantitative and qualitative approaches.

A unique feature of the text is its emphasis on the way in which social science researchers can utilise research methods to respond to contexts characterised by power imbalances, socio-economic disparities, and other inequalities. It frames research as a socially situated process that acknowledges the perspectives of the researched communities.

Ethical considerations are interwoven throughout the text, framing ethicality as a core aspect of both the researcher’s identity and the broader knowledge-production process. This ethical grounding reinforces the book’s commitment to social justice and its vision of research as a tool for meaningful societal transformation.

Case studies and practical exercises give students a feel for what real research is and illustrate how traditional methods can be creatively transformed to become more African-centred. This develops students’ critical thinking skills preparing them to identify, select, and apply contextually relevant methods to solve real-world problems. Students are encouraged to reflect on research methods, i.e., on what they are doing and why, rather than uncritically consume theory and processes.

The book provides a contextual way of utilising research methods to conduct socially relevant research in South Africa, which could extend across global contexts.

Women’s security in political, economic and social terms is directly linked to the pervasive problem of violence against women. Violence Against Women: Law, Policy and Practice seeks to understand this particular form of human rights violation, by situating violence against women in its historical, political, socio-economic and legal context in South Africa.

Whether in the private or public spheres, violence against women prevents women from realising a broad range of human rights that are central to full, inclusive and participatory citizenship. The authors of this volume reflect on the many forms of violence against women, the applicable laws and policies, and the challenges to effectively responding to this widespread violation of human rights.

Their contributions consider the role of law, policy and practice in relation to a broad range of themes including sexual violence, violence against women at the margins of systems and societies, and the impact on those who are working to defeat violence against women, whether as activists, practitioners or scholars.

This casebook provides undergraduate students with property law cases and materials accompanied by insightful and critical commentary.

The layout and structure of case reports and legislation are discussed and explained, and students are provided with practical hints and advice regarding the reading of cases and legislation.

Other cases are reproduced selectively to allow students to develop and exercise their skills in the reading and analysis of cases.

The ninth edition (2021) was updated with case law up to December 2020. In view of financial considerations, the decision was made to produce this edition in English only. In some instances, cases which were discussed in some detail in the eighth edition of the Introduction to the Law of Property were not discussed again in the Casebook, since the idea is that these two books should be used together. We, therefore, approached the updating of the Introduction and the Casebook as one integrated project instead of two separate books. Under its new authorship, it was also decided to provide unofficial translations of the Afrikaans decisions to make some landmark/important law of property cases accessible to a greater number of students. These translations are in no way meant to be quoted in any official capacity. It was merely translated for the benefit and use of students.

It was also decided to expand Part 6 and to include relevant legislation that is dealt with frequently in the law of property. The addition of this legislation would be specifically helpful to students when studying some aspects of the work.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.' Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiance Mina of the Count's supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts. Meanwhile in England, Mina's friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy's, Seward, and Lucy's fiance Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina's life. Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker's Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.

The aim of this book is to explain Aquilian liability in the South African law of delict to students encountering it for the first time. Aquilian liability is complicated. The rules determining it are to be found in the judgments of our courts, but exactly what rule a judgment created often is a difficult and controversial question. Even when the rule is easily established, it frequently is hard to figure out precisely what it means or how to apply it to a concrete set of facts.

Rather than shy away from these complexities, this book offers students a step-by-step guide through them. The book never presents students with a bald statement about what a rule is, what it means, or how to apply it. Instead, it backs up all its claims about the rules with detailed analysis of the cases. To help students come to grips with the meaning and application of the rules, the book works its way through a large number of examples, often using diagrams to facilitate better comprehension. When conflicting views about a rule exist or are possible, the book explains what they are and why one view is to be preferred.

Students who use this book will not only acquire an in-depth understanding of the rules of Aquilian liability. They will also acquire the ability to find out for themselves, and to engage in disagreement with others about, what those rules are, what they mean, and how they are to be applied.

Even though aimed primarily at students, this book will be of interest also to academics and practitioners. Not only does it provide a clear and accessible exposition of the leading cases on Aquilian liability and the rules which those cases have established, it also overturns a number of long-cherished but mistaken orthodoxies about Aquilian liability.
