The Law of Corporate Finance discusses, from a company law
perspective, the provisions of the Companies Act 71 of 2008
relating to the field of shares, securities, and corporate finance.
There have, thus far, been few major decisions of the courts
providing guidance on this technical branch of company law. The Law
of Corporate Finance unpacks the complexity of this field of law,
while also examining the Companies Regulations and the common law
principles preserved by the Companies Act. It offers a lucid and
comprehensive treatment of this notoriously difficult subject. The
Law of Corporate Finance is written to provide guidance to a wide
range of persons seeking a proper grasp of both the principles of
corporate finance as well as their practical application - from the
judiciary, legal practitioners and legal advisors to auditors and
accountants, from company directors and company secretaries to
academics and students, whether undergraduate or postgraduate. The
major company law topics in the field of corporate finance are
discussed and analysed in this book. A highlight of The Law of
Corporate Finance is that it includes a discussion of the legal
remedies available to investors when the rules relating to
corporate finance have been flouted. A further highlight is the
practical examples that illustrate how corporate finance rules work
and their shortcomings in specific situations. Due to the rapid
globalisation of corporate law, a treatment of the legal position
in leading foreign jurisdictions has been included, particularly
those that have moulded the provisions of the South African
Companies Act. These include English law, US law, Australian,
Canadian and New Zealand law. This unique perspective provides an
invaluable insight into the interpretation and application of the
corporate finance provisions of the South African Act. Anyone
seeking to understand the complex corporate finance rules will find
this book to be useful and illuminating.
From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt's cartoonist and
award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely
gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and
each other. At the Dalai Lama's residence in Dharamsala, India, an
unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning
meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many
miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites
the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of
the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and
small . . . With a galvanizing message about the future of our
planet-text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnell's masterful
illustrations-Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution,
reminding us that "we are indeed all members of a single family,
sharing one little house." Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth,
this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all
the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a
message of joy, hope and change. "There are only two days in the
year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is
called Tomorrow."

This is a groundbreaking study of the relationship between Christianity and collective violence in late nineteenth century China. Using American Baptist and English Presbyterian examples in the Guangdong province, the book examines the scale of Chinese conversions, the creation of Christian villages and the power relations between Christians, non-Christians and between different Christian denominations. The spread of Christianity needs to be understood in the context of intense violence within and between villages and lineages, and patterns of conversion often following the lines of existing communal divisions. This book is based on a very comprehensive foundation of data and the Protestant missionary and Chinese archival materials are supplemented with fieldwork data that were collected in several Christian villages.

This is the most comprehensive account of Gloucestershire's birds
ever produced, covering all the species recorded in the county in
modern times. There are detailed maps showing the distribution and
abundance of over 130 regular species, based on four years of
fieldwork carried out by hundreds of volunteers. Graphs, tables and
statistics illustrate the patterns of occurrence of many species,
including passage migrants and rarities. Also included are
descriptions of the bird habitats and the history of bird watching
and conservation in the county. Some of Britain's most prominent
bird artists, past and present, including Jackie Garner, Robert
Gillmor, Terence Lambert, Peter Partington, Peter Scott and Keith
Shackleton, have provided beautiful illustrations, which sit
alongside sumptuous photographs of many of the birds and the
county's landscapes. The volume includes a Foreword by His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales.
Offering diverse perspectives on Hawai'i's food system, this book
addresses themes of place and identity across time. From early
Western contact to the present day, the way in which people in
Hawai'i grow, import, and consume their food has shifted in
response to the pressures of colonialism, migration, new
technologies, and globalization. Because of Hawai'i's history of
agricultural abundance, its geographic isolation in the Pacific
Ocean, and its heavy reliance on imported foods today, it offers a
rich case study for understanding how food systems develop
in-place. In so doing, the contributors implicitly and explicitly
complicate the narrative of the "local," which has until recently
dominated much of the existing scholarship on Hawai'i's foodways.
With topics spanning GMO activism, agricultural land use trends,
customary access and fishing rights, poi production, and the dairy
industry, this volume reveals how "local food" is emplaced through
dynamic and complex articulations of history, politics, and
economic change. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Food, Culture, and Society.
The Dalai Lama on one of the most important spiritual practices to
develop wisdom and compassion. Based on three days of teaching in
London, May 1999, this book is an edited version of the Dalai
Lama's discourse on The Eight Verses on Generating Compassion. The
Verses are one of the most profound and sacred texts in the Tibetan
Buddhist tradition. The title of the book comes from the Tibetan
word for the Verses: 'lojong' - literally, transforming your mind.
The lucid, straightforward commentary on these teachings includes
instruction on how to transform difficult situations into
opportunities for spiritual growth. The author also offers
practical methods as to how to develop positive ways of thinking
and compassion.

This book takes a new look at the impacts of Christianity in the
late-nineteenth-century China. Using American Baptist and English
Presbyterian examples in Guangdong province, it examines the scale
of Chinese conversions, the creation of Christian villages, and the
power relations between Christians and non-Christians, and between
different Christian denominations. This book is based on a very
comprehensive foundation of data. By supplementing the Protestant
missionary and Chinese archival materials with fieldwork data that
were collected in several Christian villages, this study not only
highlights the inner dynamics of Chinese Christianity but also
explores a variety of crisis management strategies employed by
missionaries, Christian converts, foreign diplomats and Chinese
officials in local politics.
