Since the Zuma presidency weakened crime intelligence, violent crime
surged, with murder rates rising over 75%. South Africa faces severe
femicide, and most murderers evade justice. Prisons fail by
perpetuating crime; harsher sentences do not help. Edwin Cameron, after
visiting prisons, advocates for reform. Along with colleagues, he
suggests abolishing minimum sentences, cash bail, and decriminalizing
drug use to improve safety and justice.
"Over the past two decades, Nene has gained a reputation both locally and internationally as a thought-leader in diversity and inclusion, values-driven leadership and transformation. She has authored numerous publications, including contributing to the book Leadership Perspectives from the Front Line. She is a member of the Diversity Collegium, a think tank of globally-recognised diversity experts. She is an associate lecturer at GIBS on Global Diversity and Unconscious Bias, as well as an associate lecturer on Transformation Strategy for the Stellenbosch Business School. She is a sought-after speaker for conferences around the world."
"The ideas and experiences shared by author Nene Molefi speak directly to the troubling prejudices and inequities that persist in our world. Diversity and inclusion are more pressing than ever. Injustices and deep social divisions persist, personally and systemically. Racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of fear and hatred are not isolated. They remain embedded and they demand courageous, deliberate work. In this book, Nene uses her own story to cast a bright light on the transformation journey. Nene’s book quite vulnerably takes the reader on Nene’s personal journey. In addition to the deeply personal content, each chapter ends with practical guidelines on how to lead inclusively. Nene’s book offers hope and substance in our vision of a diverse and inclusive and just society." —Justice Edwin Cameron
Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry III, Nine Volume Set describes
the fundamentals of metal-ligand interactions, provides an overview
of the systematic chemistry of this class of compounds, and details
their importance in life processes, medicine, industry and
materials science. This new edition spans across 9 volumes, 185
entries and 6600 printed pages. Comprehensive Coordination
Chemistry III is not just an update of the second edition, it
includes a significant amount of new content. In the descriptive
sections 3-6, emphasis is placed upon material that has appeared in
primary and secondary review literature since the previous edition
published. The material in other sections is newly written, with an
emphasis on modern aspects of coordination chemistry and the latest
developments. The metal-ligand interaction is the link between the
award of the 1913 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Alfred Werner, the
father of Coordination Chemistry, the 1987 prize for supramolecular
chemistry and the 2016 award for molecular machines. The key role
of coordination chemistry in the assembly of hierarchical nano- and
micro-dimensioned structures lies at the core of these applications
and so this Major Reference Work bridges several sub-disciplines of
chemistry, thus targeting a truly interdisciplinary audience.

Indian thought is well known for diverse philosophical and
contemplative excursions into the nature of selfhood. Led by
Buddhists and the yoga traditions of Hinduism and Jainism, Indian
thinkers have engaged in a rigorous analysis and
reconceptualization of our common notion of self. Less understood
is the way in which such theories of self intersect with issues
involving agency and free will; yet such intersections are
profoundly important, as all major schools of Indian thought
recognize that moral goodness and religious fulfillment depend on
the proper understanding of personal agency. Moreover, their
individual conceptions of agency and freedom are typically nodes by
which an entire school's epistemological, ethical, and metaphysical
perspectives come together as a systematic whole. Free Will,
Agency, and Selfhood in Indian Philosophy explores the contours of
this issue, from the perspectives of the major schools of Indian
thought. With new essays by leading specialists in each field, this
volume provides rigorous analysis of the network of issues
surrounding agency and freedom as developed within Indian thought.
The objective of this book is to outline the best practice in
designing, installing, commissioning and troubleshooting industrial
data communications systems. In any given plant, factory or
installation there are a myriad of different industrial
communications standards used and the key to successful
implementation is the degree to which the entire system integrates
and works together.
With so many different standards on the market today, the debate is
not about what is the best - be it Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus,
Devicenet or Industrial Ethernet but rather about selecting the
most appropriate technologies and standards for a given application
and then ensuring that best practice is followed in designing,
installing and commissioning the data communications links to
ensure they run fault-free. The industrial data communications
systems in your plant underpin your entire operation. It is
critical that you apply best practice in designing, installing and
fixing any problems that may occur. This book distills all the tips
and tricks with the benefit of many years of experience and gives
the best proven practices to follow.
The main steps in using today's communications technologies involve
selecting the correct technology and standards for your plant based
on your requirements; doing the design of the overall system;
installing the cabling and then commissioning the system. Fiber
Optic cabling is generally accepted as the best approach for
physical communications but there are obviously areas where you
will be forced to use copper wiring and, indeed, wireless
communications. This book outlines the critical rules followed in
installing the data communications physical transport media and
then ensuring that the installation will be trouble-free for years
to come.
The important point to make is that with today s wide range of
protocols available, you only need to know how to select, install
and maintain them in the most cost-effective manner for your plant
or factory - knowledge of the minute details of the protocols is
not necessary.
*An engineer's guide to communications systems using fiber optic
cabling, copper cabling and wireless technology
*Covers: selection of technology and standards - system design -
installation of equipment and cabling - commissioning and
maintenance
*Crammed with practical techniques and know how - written by
engineers for engineers"
There are many data communications titles covering design,
installation, etc, but almost none that specifically focus on
industrial networks, which are an essential part of the day-to-day
work of industrial control systems engineers, and the main focus of
an increasingly large group of network specialists.
The focus of this book makes it uniquely relevant to control
engineers and network designers working in this area. The
industrial application of networking is explored in terms of
design, installation and troubleshooting, building the skills
required to identify, prevent and fix common industrial data
communications problems - both at the design stage and in the
maintenance phase.
The focus of this book is 'outside the box'. The emphasis goes
beyond typical communications issues and theory to provide the
necessary toolkit of knowledge to solve industrial communications
problems covering RS-232, RS-485, Modbus, Fieldbus, DeviceNet,
Ethernet and TCP/IP. The idea of the book is that in reading it you
should be able to walk onto your plant, or facility, and
troubleshoot and fix communications problems as quickly as
possible. This book is the only title that addresses the
nuts-and-bolts issues involved in design, installation and
troubleshooting that are the day-to-day concern of engineers and
network specialists working in industry.
* Provides a unique focus on the industrial application of data
networks
* Emphasis goes beyond typical communications issues and theory to
provide the necessary toolkit of knowledge to solve industrial
communications problems
* Provides the tools to allow engineers in various plants or
facilities to troubleshoot and fix communications problems as
quickly as possible
Readers will use this knowledge to develop the required techniques
for design, installation and maintenance of their own fiber optic
systems.
* Ideal for those with some background in communications but
without previous knowledge of fiber optics
* Provides a comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of fiber
optic systems and their individual components
* Places emphasis on practical techniques of component installation
and system design
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the
suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the
Internet. TCP/IP uses several protocols, the two main ones being
TCP and IP. TCP/IP is built into the UNIX operating system and is
used by the Internet, making it the de facto standard for
transmitting data over networks. The TCP/IP suite of protocols has
become a dominant technology due to its widespread use and
reliability, while Ethernet is fast becoming a de facto industrial
networking standard.
* A practical hands-on book that covers troubleshooting and
maintenance of TCP/IP networks
* Provides a solid understanding of the application of TCP/IP from
an engineering perspective
* Complete coverage from networking fundamentals to
Internet-enabled control systems

This book raises in a new way a central question of Christology:
what is the divine motive for the incarnation? Throughout Christian
history a majority of Western theologians have agreed that God's
decision to become incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ was made
necessary by "the Fall": if humans had not sinned, the incarnation
would not have happened. This position is known as
"infralapsarian." A minority of theologians however, including some
major 19th- and 20th-century theological figures, championed a
"supralapsarian" Christology, arguing that God has always intended
the incarnation, independent of "the Fall."
Edwin Chr. van Driel offers the first scholarly monograph to map
and analyze the full range of supralapsarian arguments. He gives a
thick description of each argument and its theological
consequences, and evaluates the theological gains and losses
inherent in each approach. Van Driel shows that each of the three
ways in which God is thought to relate to all that is not God -- in
creation, in redemption, and in eschatological consummation -- can
serve as the basis for a supralapsarian argument. He illustrates
this thesis with detailed case studies of the Christologies of
Schleiermacher, Dorner, and Barth. He concludes that the most
fruitful supralapsarian strategy is rooted in the notion of
eschatological consummation, taking interpersonal interaction with
God to be the goal of the incarnation. He goes on to develop his
own argument along these lines, concluding in an eschatological
vision in which God is visually, audibly, and tangibly present in
the midst of God's people.
In the early 1900s, the language of America was becoming colloquial
English-the language of the businessman, manager, and professional.
Since college and high school education were far from universal,
many people turned to correspondence education-that era's distance
learning-to learn the art of speaking and writing. By the 1920s and
1930s, thousands of Americans were sending coupons from newspapers
and magazines to order Sherwin Cody's 100% Self-correcting Course
in the English Language, a patented mail-order course in English
that was taken by over 150,000 people.
Cody's ubiquitous signature advertisement, which ran for over
forty years, promised a scientifically-tested invention that
improved speaking and writing in just 15 minutes a day. Cody's ad
explained that people are judged by their English, and he offered
self-improvement and self-confidence through the mail.
In this book, linguist Edwin Battistella tells the story of
Sherwin Cody and his famous English course, situating both the man
and the course in early twentieth century cultural history. The
author shows how Cody became a businessman-a writer, grammatical
entrepreneur, and mass-marketer whose ads proclaimed "Good Money in
Good English" and asked "Is Good English Worth 25 Cents to You?"
His course, perhaps the most widely-advertised English education
program in history, provides a unique window onto popular views of
language and culture and their connection to American notions of
success and failure. But Battistella shows Sherwin Cody was also
part of a larger shift in attitudes. Using Cody's course as a
reference point, he also looks at the self-improvement ethic
reflected in such courses and products as theHarvard Classics, The
Book of Etiquette, the Book-of-the-Month Club, the U.S. School of
Music, and the Charles Atlas and Dale Carnegie courses to
illustrate how culture became popular and how self-reliance evolved
into self-improvement.
