Originally published in 1968, this volume traces the history and
growth of Apartheid in South Africa. The acts which enforced
Apartheid - the Group Areas Act, Population and Registration Act
are given in full. The book also includes documents which reflected
reaction to these measures: Parliamentary debates, newspaper
reports and policy statements by the leading political parties and
religious denominations. The documents are headed by a full
historical and analytical introduction.
This insightful book collects empirical analyses and case studies
to clarify issues and draw policy recommendations for facilitating
greater regional trade through increased cooperation. Asia s rapid
development has been heavily dependent on markets external to the
region. However, given the unlikely timely recovery of the United
States or Europe there is an urgent need to develop domestic and
regional markets. While greater integration has long been a
regional goal, its importance has never been more pressing. To
facilitate trade and promote growth and regional integration, and
to counteract declining markets in other regions, Asian countries
have announced large expenditures for developing infrastructure.
Thus, a look at how investment in regional infrastructure promotes
and supports interregional trade growth has never been timelier.
While the focus is on informing policy-making in Asia, the findings
also have relevance for other regions. The detailed studies in this
book will be of particular interest to academic economists,
policy-makers, and the broader development community. Contributors:
N. Banik, D.H. Brooks, J. Gilbert, L. Shantong, S. Stone, A.
Strutt, T.S. Yean, H. Wang
Among the political ideologies generally considered to be of
continuing significance, anarchism alone has never been
implemented. Perhaps its rigors are too strong and its advocates
are too weak. That it is still considered worth studying is
testimony to its intellectual credibility, particularly its
single-minded emphasis on individual liberty. Obsession with
liberty and skepticism of government are as alive today as they
were in the nineteenth century. This book offers a comprehensive
introduction to anarchism in the United States, revealing its
historical roots and relevance to today's problems. The
relationship between anarchy and individualism in the nineteenth
century is well known. How this affected the larger system is what
the bulk of the anthology is about.
"Liberty "was a magazine featuring some of the outstanding
anarchist thinkers in America at the turn of the century. This
anthology offers a selection of writings spanning the magazine's
twenty-seven year life and features some of its major writers:
Benjamin Tucker, Victor Yarros, Steven Byington, John Beverley
Robinson, and Gertrude Kelly. The chapters are divided into four
sections: political theory, economic theories and reforms, social
implications, and strategies of individualist anarchism. The
authors criticize censorship, state support of patriarchal
marriage, and the general invasion of privacy. Though quite
radical, the writers were not revolutionaries in a conventional
sense; they emphasized passive resistance, rather than violent
assault, as proper.
The Individualist Anarchists is not merely of historical
Interest, but offers a fundamental critique of government and
authority--one that remains a relevant part of today's libertarian
movement. It will be of Interest to political theorists,
economists, sociologists, and scholars of American history; above
all, to those who may not yet have appreciated the worth of an
analysis made so many years ago.
One of the first books on general pathology written specifically
for veterinary nurses and those new to the subject. It builds on
prior knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry to explain
the pathological changes that occur in sick animals. The book
provides an understanding of the effects of various disease
processes, and relates these to clinical presentation, diagnosis
and prognosis, and treatment rationales. Presented in an easy to
read format, with many illustrations and summary boxes to aid
comprehension. Each chapter has a useful "test yourself" section to
test understanding.
This book explores the regulation of intimate relationships today.
Using historical and contemporary legal-political sources, the
author investigates the changing meanings and effects of
conjugality.
Conjugal Rites explores the legal shape of marriage as it has been
determined by countless decisions concerning entry and exit into
the ancient rite. Heather Brook examines the countless rules and
protocols governing marriage that make it valid in the eyes of the
law. She argues that the various sexual performatives associated
with marriage can establish, reinforce, or rupture conjugal unity
while exploring the historical and politcal regulations and
prohibitions marriage has faced. Brook unites past and present,
public and private, to investigate the changing meanings and
effects of conjugality, and challenge the way we think about sex,
gender and relationships.
Examining theatre economics, rhetorical acting, cross-dressing, the
staging of 'self', and the alignment of motherhood and work, this
book reveals how actresses drew on changing models of gender to
achieve phenomenal levels of success over the eighteenth-century.
By doing so it sheds new light on the cultural significance of
female performance.

This book analyses and draws policy implications from
infrastructure's central role in lowering Asia's trade costs.
Infrastructure is shown to be a cost-effective means of lowering
trade costs and thereby promoting regional growth and integration.
This book combines thematic and country studies, while breaking new
ground in quantifying infrastructure's impact on Asia's trade
costs. The contributors examine empirical estimates of Asia's trade
costs and infrastructure's influence on those costs while also
contributing to a better understanding of the region's logistics
challenges. The book includes interesting case studies of rapid
growth and congestion (in PRC), inland transportation challenges
(India), port competition in an archipelago (Indonesia) and
transportation modal switching as value-added rises (Malaysia) that
are policy- and project-relevant in their own right. The analysis
and policy implications in this book will be of interest to trade
and infrastructure policy-makers and academics at graduate and
higher levels involved in economic development or Asian studies, as
well as the broader development community.
Analysis of infrastructure's role in facilitating international
trade and consequently regional economic integration is still
rudimentary. This original book fills that knowledge gap by
exploring relevant concepts, measurement issues, aspects of the
implementation of trade-related infrastructure facilities and their
impacts on poverty, trade, investment and macroeconomic balances.
Continuing the series of books produced in association with the
Asian Development Bank Institute, this study explores the virtuous
cycle of infrastructure investment, trade expansion and economic
growth in developing Asia. Issues relating infrastructure, both
hard and soft, to trade facilitation and trade costs are defined
and examined, and the role of infrastructure in regional
cooperation to enhance intraregional trade is analysed. Empirical
estimates of trade costs in Asia suggest there is significant room
for infrastructure to lower those costs further. By approaching the
infrastructure-trade nexus at the regional level through
cooperative activities, this study shows it is possible to increase
the range of policy options and risk management opportunities.
Infrastructure and Trade in Asia will be of interest to trade and
infrastructure policymakers, academics at graduate and above levels
involved in economic development and Asian studies as well as those
in the development community interested in regional cooperation and
integration.

This book is an outgrowth of research contributions and teaching
experiences by all the authors in applying modern fluid mechanics
to problems of pollutant transport and mixing in the water
environment. It should be suitable for use in first year graduate
level courses for engineering and science students, although more
material is contained than can reasonably be taught in a one-year
course, and most instructors will probably wish to cover only
selected potions. The book should also be useful as a reference for
practicing hydraulic and environmental engineers, as well as anyone
involved in engineering studies for disposal of wastes into the
environment. The practicing consulting or design engineer will find
a thorough explanation of the fundamental processes, as well as
many references to the current technical literature, the student
should gain a deep enough understanding of basics to be able to
read with understanding the future technical literature evolving in
this evolving field.
