The eagerly awaited new children's book comes from award-winning author Beverley Naidoo, winner of the Carnegie Medal for The Other Side of Truth.
The Fundamentals of Human Embryology covers embryonic development, with a unique focus on adult anatomy.
Its goal is to impart to students a comprehensive overview of how the human embryo forms, not only as a basis for the student of human anatomy, but also as a link to abnormalities they may encounter in their clinical careers. Extensively illustrated with labeled line drawings, now enlarged for better visibility, this concise manual will meet the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Human Sciences.
In this Second Edition of the manual at the request of students and teachers, the authors have made the following changes:
- Increased the size of the diagrams
- Revised the text to comply with the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology changes to the Terminologia Embryologica
- Altered the sequencing of some topics to allow the development to flow more logically
- Included an appendix of coloured photographs of congenital abnormalities to help students form a more realistic idea of developmental abnormalities.
Never have seven people been so hunted. By assassins. By journalists and lawyers in search of the truth and then TRC investigators wanting justice for the victims’ families.
In 1986, seven young men were shot and killed by police in Gugulethu in Cape Town. The nation was told they were a ‘terrorist’ MK cell. An inquest followed, then a dramatic trial in 1987 and another inquest in 1989. Finally, the fact that Eugene de Kock’s Vlakplaas unit plotted and drove the operation was revealed at the Truth and Reconciliation ten years after the murders but Vlakplaas’s real agenda remained shrouded in mystery.
Hunting the Seven tells the story of the hunt for the truth of the Gugulethu Seven in cinematic style. It took a decade to get to the bottom of the killings.
Sifting through the evidence and original interviews with those involved, Roos-Muller reveals that it was Vlakplaas’s only operation in the Western Cape and an elaborate state-sanctioned snuff movie designed to keep the money rolling into the death squad’s slush fund.
For decades, ethnomusicologists across the world have considered
how to affect positive change for the communities they work with.
Through illuminating case studies and reflections by a diverse
array of scholars and practitioners, Transforming Ethnomusicology
aims to both expand dialogues about social engagement within
ethnomusicology and, at the same time, transform how we understand
ethnomusicology as a discipline. The second volume of Transforming
Ethnomusicology takes as a point of departure the recognition that
colonial and environmental damages are grounded in historical and
institutional failures to respect the land and its peoples.
Featuring Indigenous and other perspectives from Brazil, North
America, Australia, Africa, and Europe this volume critically
engages with how ethnomusicologists can support marginalized
communities in sustaining their musical knowledge and threatened
geographies.
This is the story of love, commitment and the flowering of the human spirit against the background of South Africa's apartheid. Frightened that their baby sister Dineo will die, thirteen-year-old Naledi and her younger brother Tiro run away from their grandmother to Johannesburg to find their mother, who works there as a maid. Their journey illustrates at every turn the grim realities of apartheid - the pass laws, bantustans, racism, the breakdown of family life. The opulence of the white "Madam's" house contrasts starkly with the reality that Naledi and Tiro face - that their baby sister is suffering from starvation, not an incurable disease. This new edition of Beverley Naidoo's classic story includes a special "Why You'll Love This Book" introduction by Michael Rosen, the Children's Laureate.

This insightful Modern Guide explores heterodox approaches to
modern wellbeing research, with a specific focus on how wellbeing
is understood and practised, exploring policies and actions which
are taken to shape wellbeing. It evaluates contemporary trends in
wellbeing research, including the sometimes competing definitions,
methods and approaches offered by different disciplinary
perspectives. Exploring the threats to wellbeing from the
environments we inhabit and the situations societies create and
endure, chapters particularly look at wellbeing inequalities and
the experiences of marginalised groups, demonstrating the
connection between wellbeing and political struggle. Provocative
commentaries from leading scholars plus chapters on original
theoretical developments and research studies across diverse world
regions reveal wellbeing research based on situated practices,
social differences and specific cultural contexts. This Modern
Guide assesses the influence and impact of wellbeing research on
policy and practice across a range of sectors and spaces,
including: wellbeing budgeting, nature-based interventions, urban
design, environmental resource management, prisons, housing,
international migration, and post-conflict situations. This will be
a useful read for scholars of human geography, social policy, urban
studies, anthropology, political science and environmental
economics. Policy makers will also appreciate the suggestions for
improvement to wellbeing policies and practices.
Widely considered the foremost French poet of his generation, Yves
Bonnefoy has wowed the literary world for decades with his diffuse
volumes. First published in France in 2008, The Anchor's Long Chain
is an indispensable addition to his oeuvre. Enriching Bonnefoy's
earlier work, the volume, translated by Beverley Bie Brahic, also
innovates, including an unprecedented sequence of nineteen sonnets.
These sonnets combine the strictness of the form with the freedom
to vary line length and create evocative fragments. Compressed,
emotionally powerful, and allusive, the poems are also
autobiographical-but only in glimpses. Throughout, Bonnefoy
conjures up life's eternal questions with each new poem. Longer,
discursive pieces, including the title poem's meditation on a
prehistoric stone circle and a legend about a ship, are also part
of this volume, as are a number of poetic prose pieces in which
Bonnefoy, like several of his great French predecessors, excels.
Long-time fans will find much to praise here, while newer readers
will quickly find themselves under the spell of Bonnefoy's
powerful, discursive poetry. Praise for Bonnefoy "Few exceptions of
contemporary French letters deserve the attention of the reading
public in America more than Bonnefoy...His writings are an
important lighthouse on the contemporary cultural
coastline."-Hudson Review "Bonnefoy's poems, prose, texts, and
penetrating essays have never ceased to stimulate both the writing
of French poetry and the discussion of what its deepest purpose
should be...He is one of the rare contemporary authors for whom
writing does not-or should not-conclude in utter despair, but
rather in the tendering of hope."- France Magazine
