In Susan Smith se eerste bundel, in die afwesigheid van sin, het
reeds ’n hele aantal gedigte oor die omgewing verskyn. In die nuwe
bundel word die omgewingsgesprek voortgesit. Die gedigte handel
egter nie oor bewaringsvraagstukke nie, maar oor die mens se
verhouding tot die aarde en die lewende wesens daarop. Soos die
titel aandui, word die aarde gesien as ’n soort vaartuig wat deur
die heelal reis. Dit is ook die boot waarmee die mens op sy
lewensreis vaar deur verskillende waters. Plante, veral bome, is
verwysingspunte op hierdie reis. Die woorde van die digter is
instrumente wat die vaart moontlik maak, dit beskryf en die
bedreigde lewendes help bewaar: die aarde is ’n eierblou ark wat
deur die melkweg veer waarin ons waterdeurdronge deur soutreen en
sleepmistonge hiermaals vaar en as bede om vergiffenis en genade
daagliks silwer woordspane deur water stuur.
First published in 1981, Ethnic Segregation in Cities argues that
race and ethnicity are fundamental to writing about the city, and
that economic patterns adapt themselves to race and ethnicity
rather than vice versa. The problem of ethnic segregation is a
burning one for both geographers and sociologists – geographers
because of the concern for all aspects of urban deprivation, and
sociologists because they are discovering that space and spatial
processes are important factors in influencing social segregation
or assimilation. The book brings together some of the main
contributors to the literature on spatial aspects of ethnicity from
both sides of the Atlantic. A variety of evidence from New York,
Detroit, Bradford and Blackburn address the question of whether
choice on the path of ethnic members, or constraints imposed by the
host society are determinant factors influencing residential
segregation. This book will be of interest to students of
sociology, human geography and urban studies.
This authoritative guide offers a vital overview including the
recent fundamental changes in the care of newborn babies. As well
as medical staff, key roles are now played by senior nurses,
clinical nurse specialists, pharmacists, advanced neonatal nurse
practitioners, nurse consultants, midwives, dieticians,
physiotherapists and speech therapists. The involvement of such a
diverse range of professional cultures in such a rapidly developing
area often leads to competing priorities, complicated by a lack of
established guidelines. There is also the added challenge of fetal
medicine - an important emerging allied specialty new to many
healthcare professionals. This book assists all professionals
involved in the provision of neonatal care in understanding the
genetic, physiological and biochemical mechanisms which have either
led to or are associated with the clinical conditions affecting
their patients. With comprehensive chapters on fetal medicine,
genetics, inherited biochemical disorders, fundamental
physiological concepts, the cardiovascular, renal and respiratory
systems, bacterial and transplacental infections, pharmacokinetics,
nutrition, and an overview of haemostasis, A Foundation For
Neonatal Care aids understanding of the continuum of developmental
physiology and pathology which is now required of neonatal care
providers.
'The alleviation of poverty and the protection of the environment
are both critical challenges for the vindication of basic human
rights for all of humankind. This relationship is however not
necessarily an easy one. While there is an inextricable link
between poverty and the degradation of the environment, a
sophisticated analysis of a problem needs to deal with those cases
where the need to increase economic opportunity for poor
communities may appear to conflict with fragile ecosystems or the
preservation of traditional practices. This collection provides the
most sustained engagement with these problems. Drawing on the
expertise of a range of distinguished authors, this book presents
the reader with an integrated global engagement with these
problems. In doing so, it represents a landmark effort towards the
creation of a coherent literature to deal with one of humankind's
most pressing challenges.' - Dennis Davis, Judge of the High Court,
South Africa This timely book explores the complex relationship
between the alleviation of poverty and the protection of the
environment. There is every reason to believe that these issues are
in many ways interdependent. However this book demonstrates that
there are situations where alleviation of poverty and the
protection of the environment appear to be in a fraught
relationship. The contributing authors illustrate that the role
played by law in this relationship, whether at the international or
national level, will vary depending on the situation and will be
more successful at pursuing environmental justice in some cases
than in others. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to
academics and students in environmental law and other environmental
disciplines, environmental policy makers and NGOs interested in
issues of poverty, environment and indigenous peoples.

The author's treatment of the works of the most subtle of all
film-makers analyzes the key elements of suspense, humour and tone
across the whole of the director's career. The book examines in
detail such films as "North by Northwest," "The Birds" and
"Notorious," amongst many others.

Elizabeth Taylor was one of the major film stars of the twentieth
century, embodying all the glamour and allure of Hollywood stardom.
Yet her achievements as an actress have often been overshadowed by
her beauty and tumultuous life off-screen. To redress this
imbalance, Susan Smith offers an illuminating study of Elizabeth
Taylor's work in film, exploring her fascinating trajectory from
child to adult star. Smith reveals the influence that Taylor's
early work exerted over her later career and the ways in which her
on-screen identity is profoundly rooted in her association with
animals and nature. Smith carefully unpicks what made Taylor such a
distinctive and dynamic on-screen performer - from the expressive
use she made of her eyes to the dramatic significance of her voice
- and considers the importance of certain professional
collaborations that Taylor forged during her career, most notably
her acting partnership with Montgomery Clift.
