Barbara Cole's artwork is collected by public and private
institutions and has been exhibited worldwide, including at the
Canadian embassies in Washington, D.C. and Tokyo, Japan. Cole, who
is often referred to as an inventor, uses a raw, hands-on
photographic process that is consistent with her belief that the
possibilities of photography are virtually limitless. Since the
early 1980s, she has channelled her appreciation for the camera
itself. She is dedicated to the history of photography by deviating
from automatic cameras and techniques. Barbara Cole uses
photography to play with notions of time, place, and identity. In
her numerous series, Cole often asks the questions: how do you
paint an image of timelessness? How do you capture the feeling of
weightlessness in an image? Her ethereal photography takes on a
quintessential painterly quality, with the transformation of
figures a predominant theme in her work. Over the past 30 years,
although she works with traditional photographic means, Cole's
approach and aesthetic has become closer to that of a painter. The
artist's work focuses on a powerful narrative, some with external
motifs and others with intense figure transformations that alone
tell the story. Cole's background in fashion and fashion editorial
naturally leads to a process that channels her experience into
creating a particular atmosphere with costumes and backdrops. Text
in English and German.

exclusion and inclusion to parents and their children * Both a
top-down and bottom-up look at SEN and inclusion

The Rhodesian Special Air Service, one of the most formidable
fighting forces in the world, operated almost exclusively across
the borders during the long bitter bush war, undertaking
deep-penetration missions against insurgents being harboured inside
neighbouring Mozambique and Zambia. There were missions into
Botswana too, and at one stage, SAS men were operating without
benefit of passports in all three neighbouring territories at the
same time. As the situation intensified, they were responsible for
some of the most audacious and highly sensitive missions of the
war.
The writer takes the reader from the early days in the Western
Desert to the formation of the Rhodesian SAS for service in Malaya,
then back to Africa where the action spans the days of the
Federation, the UDI era and finally the decolonization of Rhodesia
by the British in 1980.
This is the first book to detail the secret exploits of this elite
regiment and it has been based on rare first-hand interviews with
operators themselves. Some of their exploits may seem far-fetched,
even impossible, but then, truth is often stranger than fiction. It
is a history of high adventure and daring, courage and humanism, be
it driving through the streets of a neighbouring capital, knocking
out trains, bridges and installation or swooping out of the morning
skies then, with the ability to hit hard and fast, attacking and
taking their leave, the devastation complete, the mission
accomplished.
This edition—originally published in the mid-1980s and long since
out of print—is presented in a modern, attractive, upgraded format
and contains pictures previously not seen in colour.
Endophthalmitis refers to the inflammation of the intraocular
tissues and fluids of the eye and can be non-infectious or caused
by bacterial, fungal or parasitic infection. It can be classified
as exogenous (post-operative, post-traumatic or as a complication
of a corneal ulcer) or endogenous (secondary to hematogenous spread
from another infected site). This book discusses the clinical
manifestations, relevance of diagnosis, and involved species of
fungal endophthalmitis. It also examines anti-vascular endothelial
growth factor medications; prevention and treatment of
postoperative endophthalmitis; and a pharmacokinetic review of
antibiotics used in the treatment of endophthalmitis.
