Spesifiek geskryf om aan al die vereistes van die nasionale
Kurrikulum- en Assessering beleidsverklaring (KABV) te voldoen.
Sleutelterme word in rooi gedruk as dit vir die eerste keer
verskyn. ’n Lys van hierdie terme word ook in rooi aan die begin
van elke eenheid of hoofstuk gelys. Nuwe woorde is in blou en word
in die kantlyn verduidelik. Aktiwiteite help leerders om te
verstaan wat hulle geleer het. 'n Opsomming aan die einde van elke
onderwerp help leerders studeer. Die Formele Assesserings taak
(FAT) blokkie bevat take wat leerders voorberei vir die wat in die
klas voltooi moet word. Vrae aan die einde van elke onderwerp help
leerders met hersiening. ‘n Voorbeeld van ‘n eksamenvraestel aan
die einde van die boek sal leerders ook help oefen en leer oor
alles wat hulle nodig het om te weet.
Die reeks is volgens die Nasionale Kurrikulum- en Assesserings
beleidsverklaring (“CAPS”) geskryf. ’n Moontlike werkskedule is
ingesluit. Elke hoofstuk begin met ’n oorsig van wat onderrig word
en die hulpbronne wat jy benodig. Daar is advies oor die
voorgestelde pas wat jou sal help om die hele jaar se werk betyds
af te handel. Ons gee by elke onderwerp raad oor hoe om konsepte
bekend te stel en hoe om leerders met steierwerk voor te berei en
te ondersteun. Al die antwoorde word gegee; jy bespaar dus tyd
omdat jy nie die oefeninge self hoef uit te werk nie. ’n
Volkleurplakkaat en ’n CD propvol hulpbronne is ook ingesluit om
jou met onderrig en assessering te help. Addisionele voorbeeldvrae,
toetse of assesserings take, wat jy kan kopieer, sal jou help om
jou leerders effektief te assesseer.
The series was written to be aligned with CAPS. A possible work
schedule has been included. Each topic start with an overview of
what is taught, and the resources you need. There is advice on
pave-setting to assist you in completing the work for the year on
time. Advice on how to introduce concepts and scaffold learning is
given for every topic. All the answers have been given to save you
time doing the exercises yourself. Also included are a full-colour
poster and CD filled with resources to assist you in your teaching
and assessment.
Contaminated land policy is a key concern of governments and policy
makers across the globe, yet discussion has traditionally focused
on the particular experience of the United States. This major new
book develops a framework for assessing laws and regulations
regarding contaminated land and polluted properties, their clean up
and reuse, and the assignment of costs and responsibilities for
reclamation.In Contaminated Land, the authors, a European and two
Americans, lay out a framework for cross- national comparisons of
policy contexts as well as ways of examining the outcomes of
different approaches to contaminated land and systematically
compare approaches to this issue in both the EU and US. The use of
this framework leads to a reassessment of specific policies, such
as the polluter pays principle, which may be more successful in the
EU than it has been in the US, and subsidiarity which, while
problematic in Europe, may hold promise in a US application.
Specific issues discussed include the nature and extent of the
contaminated land problem, legal implications, regulation in the
US, the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Liability, Compensation
and Reclamation Act, European experience and EU environmental
policy, integrated comparative analysis and some lessons for the
future. Contaminated Land offers valuable insights on policy
responses to the problem of badly polluted land from the
perspectives of planning, economics and sociology. In particular,
this volume offers frameworks for comparison of different national
settings to help determine the preferred and most promising
approaches to contaminated land in any social, economic and legal
policy context.
Witnessing comes in as many forms as the trauma that gives birth to
it. The Holocaust, undeniably one of the greatest traumatic events
in recent human history, still resonates into the twenty-first
century. The echoes that haunt those who survived continue to reach
their children and others who did not share the experience
directly. In what ways is this massive trauma processed and
understood, both for survivors and future generations? The answer,
as deftly illustrated by Nancy Goodman and Marilyn Meyers, lies in
the power of witnessing: the act of acknowledging that trauma took
place, coupled with the desire to share that knowledge with others
to build a space in which to reveal, confront, and symbolize it. As
the contributors to this book demonstrate, testimonial writing and
memoir, artwork, poetry, documentary, theater, and even the simple
recollection of a memory are ways that honor and serve as forms of
witnessing. Each chapter is a fusion of narrative and metaphor that
exists as evidence of the living mind that emerges amid the dead
spaces produced by mass trauma, creating a revelatory,
transformational space for the terror of knowing and the
possibility for affirmation of hope, courage, and endurance in the
face of almost unspeakable evil. Additionally, the power of
witnessing is extended from the Holocaust to contemporary instances
of mass trauma and to psychoanalytic treatments, proving its
efficacy in the dyadic relationship of everyday practice for both
patient and analyst. The Holocaust is not an easy subject to
approach, but the intimate and personal stories included here add
up to an act of witnessing in and of itself, combining the past and
the present and placing the trauma in the realm of knowing,
sharing, and understanding. Contributors: Harriet Basseches, Elsa
Blum, Bridget Conley-Zilkic, Paula Ellman, Susan Elmendorf, George
Halasz, Geoffrey Hartman, Renee Hartman, Elaine Neumann
Kulp-Shabad, Dori Laub, Clemens Loew, Gail Humphries Mardirosian,

This book pulls together major critiques of contemporary attempts
to explain nature-society relations in an environmentally
deterministic way. After defining key terms, it reviews the history
of environmental determinism's rise and fall within geography in
the early twentieth century. It discusses the key reasons for the
doctrine's rejection and presents alternative, non-deterministic
frameworks developed within geography for analyzing the roles
played by the environment in human affairs. The authors examine the
rise in recent decades of neo-deterministic approaches to such
issues as the demarcation of regions, the causes of civilizational
collapse in prehistory, today's globally uneven patterns of human
well-being, and the consequences of human-induced climate change.
In each case, the authors draw on the insights and approaches of
geography, the academic discipline most conversant with the
interactions of society and environment, to challenge the
widespread acceptance that such approaches have won. The book will
appeal to those working on human-environmental research,
international development and global policy initiatives.
This book is devoted to the exploration of environmental
Prometheanism, the belief that human beings can and should master
nature and remake it for the better. Meyer considers, among others,
the question of why Prometheanism today is usually found on the
political right while environmentalism is on the left. Chapters
examine the works of leading Promethean thinkers of nineteenth and
early and mid-twentieth century Britain, France, America, and
Russia and how they tied their beliefs about the earth to a
progressive, left-wing politics. Meyer reconstructs the logic of
this "progressive Prometheanism" and the reasons it has vanished
from the intellectual scene today. The Progressive Environmental
Prometheans broadens the reader's understanding of the history of
the ideas behind Prometheanism. This book appeals to anyone with an
interest in environmental politics, environmental history, global
history, geography and Anthropocene studies.

With ever increasing computational resources and improvements in
algorithms, new opportunities are emerging for lattice gauge theory
to address key questions in strongly interacting systems, such as
nuclear matter.
Calculations today use dynamical gauge-field ensembles with
degenerate light up/down quarks and the strange quark and it is
possible now to consider including charm-quark degrees of freedom
in the QCD vacuum. Pion masses and other sources of systematic
error, such as finite-volume and discretization effects, are
beginning to be quantified systematically. Altogether, an era of
precision calculation has begun and many new observables will be
calculated at the new computational facilities.
The aim of this set of lectures is to provide graduate students
with a grounding in the application of lattice gauge theory methods
to strongly interacting systems and in particular to nuclear
physics.A wide variety of topics are covered, including continuum
field theory, lattice discretizations, hadron spectroscopy and
structure, many-body systems, together with more topical lectures
in nuclear physics aimed a providing a broad phenomenological
background. Exercises to encourage hands-on experience with
parallel computing and data analysis are included."
Global warming is a serious threat to the stability of world
climate and to economic prosperity in some regions. The book offers
a theoretical analysis which focuses on double dividend issues.
Moreover, the ecological tax reform in Germany and the options of
modern energy policy are described and evaluated. The volume
presents innovative model simulations and analyzes, in the context
of the model, the benefits of a modified tax reform, based on a
Schumpeterian approach. Finally, implications for the European
Union and other countries are discussed.

The authors, writing with the experience and technological
background of Electricite de France, an organisation at the
forefront of simulation methods, provide a comprehensive and
comprehensible treatment of the modelling and simulation techniques
currently in use. The text emphasises model design applied to power
plants producing energy, generators and motors carrying out energy
transformations and networks transmitting energy. The systems are
analysed considering each process, from steady state to fast
transients, with detailed explanation of the problem to be solved,
the choice of models and methods for optimising efficiency. Many
examples and references are provided. The book is essential reading
for anyone involved in power system engineering, from practising
design and development engineers to researchers and postgraduate
and advanced graduate students.
"Globalization" and "Identity" are an explosive combination,
demonstrated by recent outbursts of communalist violence in many
parts of the world. Their varying articulations highlight the
paradox that accelerating global flows of goods, persons and images
go together with determined efforts towards closure, emphasis on
cultural difference and fixing of identities. This collection
explores this paradox of a flowa and a closurea through a series of
detailed case studies in comparative perspective.
Leonard B. Meyer's writings on the theory, history, perception, and
aesthetics of music have inspired and provoked generations of
readers. "The Spheres of Music" makes available a selection of his
most important essays (originally published between 1974 and 1998).
Gathering them together in one volume not only enables the essays
to "converse" with and illuminate each other, but also allows Meyer
to revise, recant, and comment on the ideas they present.
With the same sensitive insight and searching intelligence he has
exhibited throughout his career, Meyer transcends the boundaries
that so often separate fields of inquiry. "The Spheres of Music"
joins music theory to history, history to culture, culture to
aesthetics, aesthetics to psychology, and psychology back to
theory. In so doing, the book highlights the complex
interrelationships at the heart of the creation, comprehension, and
history of music. Diverse and adventurous, "The Spheres of Music"
presents an intriguing and impressive collection of Meyer's work.
"Ever since the publication of his "Emotion and Meaning in Music" .
. . I have considered Leonard B. Meyer one of the keenest thinkers
about music among us."--Winthrop Sargeant, "The New Yorker"
In this influential book on the subject of rhythm, the authors
develop a theoretical framework based essentially on a Gestalt
approach, viewing rhythmic experience in terms of pattern
perception or groupings. Musical examples of increasing complexity
are used to provide training in the analysis, performance, and
writing of rhythm, with exercises for the student's own work.
"This is a path-breaking work, important alike to music students
and teachers, but it will make profitable reading for performers,
too."--"New York Times Book Review"
"When at some future time theories of rhythm . . . are . . . as
well understood, and as much discussed as theories of harmony and
counterpoint . . . they will rest in no small measure on the
foundations laid by Cooper and Meyer in this provocative
dissertation on the rhythmic structure of music."--"Notes"
." . . . a significant, courageous and, on the whole, successful
attempt to deal with a very controversial and neglected subject.
Certainly no one who takes the time to read it will emerge from the
experience unchanged or unmoved."--"Journal of Music Theory"
The late GROSVENOR W. COOPER, author of "Learning to Listen," was
professor of music at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
The behind-the-scenes story of how admen and sponsors helped shape
broadcasting into a popular commercial entertainment medium.
During the "golden age" of radio, from roughly the late 1920s until
the late 1940s, advertising agencies were arguably the most
important sources of radio entertainment. Most nationally broadcast
programs on network radio were created, produced, written, and/or
managed by advertising agencies: for example, J. Walter Thompson
produced "Kraft Music Hall" for Kraft; Benton & Bowles oversaw
"Show Boat" for Maxwell House Coffee; and Young & Rubicam
managed "Town Hall Tonight" with comedian Fred Allen for
Bristol-Myers. Yet this fact has disappeared from popular memory
and receives little attention from media scholars and historians.
By repositioning the advertising industry as a central agent in the
development of broadcasting, author Cynthia B. Meyers challenges
conventional views about the role of advertising in culture, the
integration of media industries, and the role of commercialism in
broadcasting history.
Based largely on archival materials, A Word from Our Sponsor mines
agency records from the J. Walter Thompson papers at Duke
University, which include staff meeting transcriptions, memos, and
account histories; agency records of BBDO, Benton & Bowles,
Young & Rubicam, and N. W. Ayer; contemporaneous trade
publications; and the voluminous correspondence between NBC and
agency executives in the NBC Records at the Wisconsin Historical
Society.
Mediating between audiences' desire for entertainment and
advertisers' desire for sales, admen combined "showmanship" with
"salesmanship" to produce a uniquely American form of commercial
culture. In recounting the history of this form, Meyers enriches
and corrects our understanding not only of broadcasting history but
also of advertising history, business history, and American
cultural history from the 1920s to the 1940s.
