A detailed account of the rich history and resilience of the Bakwena ba Mogopa, one of the most important traditional communities in South Africa.
This seminal and lucid work depicts the scope of social, political and economic change of the community from its earliest beginnings as the Kwena tribe migrating from East Africa to southern Africa, the birth of the tribe as a distinct and independent lineage in the 1600s, the impact of land dispossession of the Boer settlers as they advanced from the Cape Colony to the interior, the impact of Christianity, the racist and oppressive attitudes and policies of colonial governments, through to the hardships endured under the Union government and apartheid.
Mountains Of Spirit captures the role that the traditional leaders of the Bakwena ba Mogopa played in shaping the community and responding to challenges of the modern economy and constitutional democracy of South Africa. It is an important study of the tribal structures, the social, cultural and traditional practices, and the questions of land, minerals and mining rights of the Bakwena ba Mogopa.
A story spanning migrations, wars, land dispossession and restitution, intra-tribal rivalry, unrest, cultural disintegration, forced removals, pain and suffering and reintegration, Mountains Of Spirit reclaims the history of a people and evinces the fighting spirit and resilience of a resourceful community against immense odds.

You know you're having a senior moment when you decide it's time to
pull up your socks - and realize you forgot to put any on! Age is
just a number and you're only as old as you feel, but if you're
heading into your golden years and you're certifiably "no spring
chicken", you might benefit from browsing through the pages of this
tongue-in-cheek book to help you decide if your marbles just need a
polish or you've well and truly lost them! Inside you'll find
examples of classic "senior moments", such as: Ringing a friend to
ask them for their phone number. Getting annoyed at the fact that
your all-in-one remote won't open your garage door. Going to the
store for milk and coming home with a new dog collar, rawl plugs,
some plant pots that were on special offer... but no milk. Feeling
frustrated by your computer's instructions to "press any key", when
there's no "Any" key on your keyboard. With a sprinkling of
reassuring quotes from fellow old-timers, this collection will help
you see the funny side of getting older (but not necessarily
wiser).

Throughout American history, African American males have routinely
encountered circumstances or challenges that have impeded the
access needed to achieve their educational goals. In today's social
climate and dialogues surrounding equity in education, a resource
guide is imperative to prompt more informed discourse and robust
decision making as it relates to the African American male student
in education. Overcoming Challenges and Creating Opportunity for
African American Male Students is an essential reference source
that supports the development of more widespread solution-oriented
approaches to confronting, confirming, and mitigating any perpetual
disparities that may exist among these students. Featuring research
on topics such as access to education, racial battle fatigue, and
mentoring programs, this book is ideally designed for
administrators, policymakers, educators, scholars, researchers,
students, and academicians seeking coverage on the many factors
that influence African American male success in various educational
contexts.

Seasons 3 and 4 of the perennially popular British sitcom set in a
holiday camp in the late 50s/early 60s. In 'Nice People with Nice
Manners', Yvonne and Barry hold a party in their chalet for the
staff they consider to be 'socially acceptable'. But when Peggy
mixes up the invitations, they get a few unexpected guests. In
'Carnival Time', Joe enlists Ted's help in organising a float for
the town carnival. 'A Matter of Conscience' sees the staff at
Maplin's attempting to thwart the local council's plans to build a
new hospital right next to the camp by making as much noise as they
can. In 'The Pay-Off', the council is still determined to go ahead
with its plans to build the hospital, so Joe resorts to bribing the
local councillors. In 'Trouble and Strife', Ted's ex-wife is
demanding that he pay up his maintenance arrears. Ted has to act
quickly - and cunningly - to raise the cash in time. 'Stripes' sees
Joe promoting Gladys to Head Yellowcoat after a secret visit to the
camp. In 'Co-Respondent's Course', Jeffrey's wife sends her new
boyfriend to ask Jeffrey for a divorce. When Jeffrey is reluctant
to give grounds, her boyfriend decides to try to unearth some
evidence himself. 'It's a Blue World' sees Ted arranging a special
late-night showing of an adult film for the male campers. In
'Eruptions', Ted retaliates after having his act rudely interrupted
by a volcano in the ballroom. In 'The Society Entertainer', Spike
is a changed man after falling head over heels for one of the
female campers - much to the detriment of his act. Meanwhile,
Jeffrey has decided that Radio Maplin would benefit from having a
new voice on the airwaves. In 'Sing You Sinners', Jeffrey finds
himself standing in for the local chaplain to conduct the Sunday
Half Hour - with unnerving results. 'Maplin Intercontinental' sees
the troupe competing for a very special prize in this year's Best
Yellowcoat Competition: a transer to the new Maplin's Holiday Camp
in the Bahamas. In 'All Change', Joe appoints a new supervisor for
the Yellowcoats, but is less than delighted when he discovers that
she insists on having a chalet all to herself at the peak of the
season when the camp is filled to capacity.
