favourable reviews. It went through three impressions, was sold out
years ago and today is a collector's item. This second melange of
legal humour and piquant revelations of personalities in the law of
Southern Africa is almost entirely new, containing nothing that
appeared in the first volume except a number of brilliant
caricatures of which the temptation to reproduce was irresistible.

The traditional approach to cancer is that the patient must view
cancer as the enemy and engage in a war to vanquish that enemy. Ann
Wax, RN, argues that this approach is incorrect and invariably
leads to pain, self doubt, and depression. Instead, she argues that
one must find calm and inner-peace first, in order to promote
healing.

The second edition of Child Law in South Africa provides insight
into the profound impact of recent legislative changes and
developments in the associated regulatory frameworks, the judicial
interpretation of ground-breaking case law, and the latest research
findings in child law in South Africa. The work that has been done
at an international level is also incorporated as far as possible
within the confines of the topics addressed in this publication.
This new edition of Child Law in South Africa does not merely
follow in the path of its predecessor: this publication includes 11
entirely new chapters and 11 `new' authors - experts who did not
contribute to the previous edition. Even the `revised' chapters add
value as they systematically and critically deal with new knowledge
and enhance research. Child Law in South Africa is written by 22
experts in the field, edited by Professor Trynie Boezaart, an
internationally acknowledged researcher in child law, and
independently peer-reviewed. The book reflects the enormous scope
and dynamics involved in child law and is sure to encourage further
debate and analysis.
This book explores and elaborates three theories of public reason,
drawn from Rawlsian political liberalism, natural law theory, and
Confucianism. Drawing together academics from these separate
approaches, the volume explores how the three theories critique
each other, as well as how each one brings its theoretical arsenal
to bear on the urgent contemporary debate of medical assistance in
dying. The volume is structured in two parts: an exploration of the
three traditions, followed by an in-depth overview of the
conceptual and historical background. In Part I, the three
comprehensive opening chapters are supplemented by six dynamic
chapters in dialogue with each other, each author responding to the
other two traditions, and subsequently reflecting on the possible
deficiencies of their own theories. The chapters in Part II cover a
broad range of subjects, from an overview of the history of
bioethics to the nature of autonomy and its status as a moral and
political value. In its entirety, the volume provides a vibrant and
exemplary collaborative resource to scholars interested in the role
of public reason and its relevance in bioethical debate.
