Those featured in The Texture of Dissent were shaped and
preoccupied by the issues facing South Africans after the
Nationalist Party election victory in 1948 and most of the
academics included in this volume only became prominent from the
late 1990s. This volume draws on the ways in which public
intellectuals are involved in the ‘political work of social
change’ through defiant thought and action. Those assembled in
this volume are, in the view of the writers, people who ultimately
leave deep imprints on what it means to be human in a very complex
and divided society.
Who or what is a public intellectual and how are they created? What
is the role of the public intellectual in social, cultural,
political and academic contexts? What are the kinds of questions
they raise? What compels intellectuals to put forward their ideas?
The Fabric of Dissent: Public Intellectuals in South Africa is a
pioneering volume, representing a rich tapestry of South Africans
who were able to rise beyond narrow formulations of identity into a
larger sense of what it means to be human. Each brief portrait
provides readers with an opportunity to consider the context,
influences and unique tensions that shaped the people assembled
here. In its entirety, the book showcases an astonishing array of
achievements and bears testimony to the deep imprint of these
public intellectuals. As South Africans continue to grapple with
their past, present and future, it is clear that the insights of
these remarkable people into reimagining an inclusive society
continue to be relevant today.

The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an
overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the
introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient
background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the
Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen
for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity
the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis,
and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing
obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday
contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for
God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to
the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable
with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by
means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage
being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh
insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material,
and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her
own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and
vitality.
Initially, the only electric loads encountered in an automobile
were for lighting and the starter motor. Today, demands on
performance, safety, emissions, comfort, convenience,
entertainment, and communications have seen the working-in of
seemingly innumerable advanced electronic devices. Consequently,
vehicle electric systems require larger capacities and more complex
configurations to deal with these demands. Covering applications in
conventional, hybrid-electric, and electric vehicles, the Handbook
of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives provides a
comprehensive reference for automotive electrical systems. This
authoritative handbook features contributions from an outstanding
international panel of experts from industry and academia,
highlighting existing and emerging technologies. Divided into five
parts, the Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor
Drives offers an overview of automotive power systems, discusses
semiconductor devices, sensors, and other components, explains
different power electronic converters, examines electric machines
and associated drives, and details various advanced electrical
loads as well as battery technology for automobile applications. As
we seek to answer the call for safer, more efficient, and
lower-emission vehicles from regulators and consumer insistence on
better performance, comfort, and entertainment, the technologies
outlined in this book are vital for engineering advanced vehicles
that will satisfy these criteria.
Help students make the link between phonemic awareness (hearing
sounds in words) and phonics (the visual details of print) with
these 55, systematic lessons. Using big and small letter cards,
word boxes, and nursery rhymes--all designed as ready-to-go
reproducibles--children manipulate their own letters to make words
having high-frequency word patterns. Students then sort these for
common word patterns and write more words using the sounds they
have just practiced. Perfect for small-group practice, the lessons
are arranged by vowel patterns to help teachers pick and choose
what their students need. For use with Grades K-2.
At home in his igloo, Freddy's quiet morning gets interrupted when

this wordless graphic novel in which the artwork brings the story

Sam has a joyful story to tell, one completely her own, yet common to millions of families -- the story of how she was adopted. Most of all, it's a story about love. And in the end, Sam's story comes full circle, inviting young readers to share stories of how they were adopted.
The 5th edition of Jubb, Kennedy, and Palmer's Pathology of
Domestic Animals continues the long tradition of this classic set
of volumes as the most comprehensive reference book published on
the topic of pathology of the common domestic mammals, with
emphasis on disease conditions of cattle and small ruminants,
swine, horses, dogs and cats. Using a body systems approach,
recognized authorities in their fields provide overviews of general
characteristics of the system, reactions to insult, and disease
conditions broken down by type of infectious or toxic insult
affecting the anatomical subdivisions of each body system. Since
the publication of the 4th edition in 1993, much has changed.
Disease agents, such as Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type 2,
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV),
Porcine circovirus 2, Hendra virus, and Leptospira spp., have
emerged or further evolved. Molecular-based testing, including
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in-situ hybridization, have
allowed further understanding of pathogenesis of disease, and have
greatly furthered our diagnostic capabilities. Updated content
includes new and evolving pathogens and diagnostic techniques.
Updated bibliographies give readers new entry points into the
rapidly expanding literature on each subject. NEW! High-resolution
color images clearly depict the diagnostic features of hundreds of
conditions. NEW! Introduction to the Diagnostic Process chapter
illustrates the whole animal perspective and details the approaches
to systemic, multi-system, and polymicrobial disease. NEW! Coverage
of camelids is now included in the reference's widened scope of
species. NEW! Team of 30+ expert contributors offers the latest
perspective on the continuum of issues in veterinary pathology.
NEW! Expanded resources on the companion website include a variety
of helpful tools such as full reference lists with entries linked
to abstracts in Pub Med and bonus web-only figures. NEW! Full-color
design improves the accessibility of the text.

The topic of transparency in international investment arbitration
is gaining increasing attention. This in-depth commentary analyses
the UNCITRAL Rules on Transparency in Treaty-Based Investor-State
Arbitration, one of the most recent and innovative developments in
international law. Focusing on the application of these rules,
contributors analyse the issue of transparency in investment law
more broadly and provide in-depth guidance on how to apply the
UNCITRAL transparency rules. Chapters encompass all treaty-based
disputes between investors and state, examining the perspectives of
