Perspectives on the Law of Partnership in South Africa examines the
most problematic issues in the law of partnership. It investigates
specific issues in the area of partnership law, painting a broader
picture of all the other relevant areas involved. In following a
`perspectives' approach - presenting a historical and a comparative
perspective - the book offers a detailed consideration of complex
areas of partnership law while at the same time exploring the law
in general. Topics discussed range from the history and development
of partnership law to perennial classical favourites such as the
leonine partnership, the triple contract and universal partnership
proper, all three of which contributed to the delineation of the
partnership concept. Aspects of the law in general that are
discussed in detail include: Legal status and its attendant entity
and aggregate theories, representation and mutual mandate,
partnerships en commandite, anonymous, limited and limited
liability partnerships, the removal of the limit on the number of
partners, partnership sequestration, the dual priorities rule.
Perspectives on the Law of Partnership in South Africa is offered
as a scholarly book for the subject specialist with the expectation
that it will also invigorate interest in and advance research on
the law of partnership.

Collection of two comedies. In 'No Strings Attached' (2011), when
long-time friends Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher)
decide to add a physical dimension to their relationship and move
into 'friends with benefits' territory, they agree to keep things
strictly casual and on a 'no strings' basis. But before long both
of them find things becoming more complicated than planned as those
pesky emotions get in the way. In 'Morning Glory' (2010), a sparky,
ambitious young television producer spies an opportunity to claw
her way up the career ladder when she is offered a job on
'Daybreak', the worst-performing morning chat show in the ratings.
Her decision to hire veteran newscaster Mike Pomeroy (Harrison
Ford) to host the show meets with scepticism from network executive
Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) and co-host Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), and
with little enthusiasm from Pomeroy himself, who is obliged by his
contract to take this less-than-promising gig. Can Becky overcome
the poor ratings and in-fighting to bring the team together and
transform the show into something to be proud of?

An unfortunate consequence of the restructuring of teacher
education in South Africa over the past 15 years has been the
virtual disappearance of history of education from tertiary
programmes and a corresponding decline in the number of
publications on the subject. But this is now changing; especially
in postgraduate courses. A history of schooling in South Africa:
method and context provides a perspective on the development of
schooling for all of South Africa's diverse population groups, from
pre-colonial times to present day, in as much detail as is possible
in a single volume.
In Sean Baker's award-winning 2017 film The Florida Project, a
young girl, her single mother, and her friends live in rundown
motels near Disney World, the children's summer fun contrasting
with the grim conditions around them. In this book, J. J. Murphy
delves deep into the movie's development and filming while also
examining it within the wider context of Baker's career. Using
production documents, different versions of the screenplay, and
interviews with principal members of the production team, Murphy
traces the evolution of The Florida Project from initial idea
through its various stages of production. He highlights Baker's
unconventional strategies in making a film about a marginalized
subculture, including alternative scripting, guerrilla-like
filmmaking, improvisation, and the unorthodox casting of local and
first-time actors. Murphy also explores how Baker's impromptu style
sometimes rankled crew members and caused a major crisis on set,
revealing the difficulties indie filmmakers can face when working
with professional crews on larger films. A lively analysis of this
critically acclaimed movie, its director, and its production, The
Florida Project also betters our understanding of contemporary
independent cinema as a whole.
