Corrosion Atlas: A Collection of Illustrated Case Studies, Third
Edition includes 679 case histories divided over 135 materials in
13 material groups, 25 systems (installations) and 44 different
phenomena. It is an essential reference work on the design,
fabrication, operation and maintenance of the extremely varied and
often very complicated systems and machinery used in today's
technology. Case histories, with cross-references and indexes, make
this book a critical resource in the solution of many corrosion
problems. In addition, it brings team members closer by presenting
a common language for all parties. Finally, the book serves as an
important educational aid for self-study. Because of its unique,
extensive, clear and beautifully produced material, the book
presents a much closer link between education and the practice of
corrosion prevention and control.
This volume contains interviews with fourteen contemporary South
African authors: Mariam Akabor, Sifiso Mzobe, Fred Khumalo, Futhi
Ntshingila, Niq Mhlongo, Zukiswa Wanner, Nthikeng Mohlele, Mohale
Mashigo, Lauren Beukes, Charlie Human, Yewande Omotoso, Andrew
Salomon, Imraan Coovadia and Fred Strydom. The conversations with
the writers are accompanied by vignettes of the authors' lives and
summaries of their works. In curating this book, Danyela Dimakatso
Demir and Olivier Moreillon step beyond pure literary theory and
analysis by allowing the authors to speak to and assess the
literary landscape, of which they form a part and which they
co-create. However, Demir and Moreillon also trace concepts and
terms that describe the current moment of South African literature,
such as post-transitional literature and literature beyond 2000. By
adopting a world-literary approach to (post)apartheid literature,
this book makes an important contribution to debates on
contemporary South African writing. In addition, Tracing the
(Post)Apartheid Novel beyond 2000 seeks to raise awareness of the
imbalance in both critical and public attention between literary
'big names', such as Andre P. Brink, J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer
and Zakes Mda, who are nationally and internationally celebrated,
and the younger and newer generation of South African writers, who
go largely unnoticed.
