But you have to do the work to keep your profits and values aligned.)

Collective Labour Law is the most thorough and comprehensive single
work available on the law governing the often-tempestuous
relationship between organised labour and employers in South
Africa. The book covers topics such as the recognition of trade
unions as bargaining agents, how organisational rights are acquired
and lost, the collective bargaining process, strikes and lock-outs.
Examples drawn from the case law, with which the book is copiously
illustrated, provide the reader with insight not only into the law
but also into the events that led to the conflicts which ended up
in the courts. The book is written in the clear and readable style
for which the author has become acclaimed, and each topic is
extensively illustrated with examples drawn from the case law.
Collective Labour Law forms one volume of a quartet by the author,
which together covers the entire field of labour law as it has
developed in South Africa to date. The book is also available in
electronic form, which is updated quarterly.

vet afraid to tell her parents that she's gay. Although she seems
to have it all - friends, success, popularity - skilled vet Sara
(Perkins) she still hasn't gotten around to telling her elderly
parents about her sexual orientation. With her 40th birthday
approaching, she's given an ultimatum by her friends to tell her
parents when they next visit in six weeks, or they will. Help is at
hand, however, as in order to help the process along and allay
Sara's rising dread, her friends have saved up to provide her with
some sessions with oddball lifestyle guru Toria (Joanna Scanlon).

beyond her years. Eddie's best friend is aging former model Patsy
Stone (Joanna Lumley) who drinks and smokes non-stop. June

The Marriage and Matrimonial Property Law Amendment Act (3) of
1988, together with the Divorce Act (70) of 1979, has brought about
fundamental changes to the South African law of marriage. Prior to
its enactment, black persons had been almost entirely excluded from
the operation of the Matrimonial Property Act (88) of 1984, and it
was only in 1988 that the Amendment Act (3) extended the
ameliorations of 1984 to their civil marriages. This book discusses
the ramifactions of this in detail, as well as dealing with the
implications of the South African constitution. It refers to
comparative law and the literature that describes important and
similar developments in other jurisdictions.

This timely Research Handbook examines the evolution of smart
growth over the past three decades, mapping the trajectory from its
original principles to its position as an important paradigm in
urban planning today. Critically analysing the original concept of
smart growth and how it has been embedded in state and local plans,
contributions from top scholars in the field illustrate what smart
growth has accomplished since its conception, as well as to what
extent it has achieved its goals. Providing an overview of the
history of smart growth, the book further examines its changing
governance over time, and the new horizons for smart growth,
exploring ways to confront contemporary challenges in urban
planning. Illuminating key issues in the field, from urban sprawl
to gentrification, that the original principles failed to address,
this insightful Handbook advocates for the expansion of smart
growth principles to meet the emerging challenges of the modern
world, concluding with an agenda for a "smart growth 2.0".
Informative and comprehensive, this Handbook will prove to be
essential reading for researchers, academics and students of urban
planning. Its proposals for the future evolution of smart growth
will also serve as an accessible and up-to-date reference point for
urban planning professionals, activists and policymakers.
