How do you prepare to start a business in South Africa? Where do
you find capital to start your venture? What kind of an
entrepreneur will you be? Entrepreneurship: Theory in Practice 3e
is a comprehensive text on entrepreneurship which will equip
students with the sound theory needed to not only establish a
business but also succeed in a new venture. The book is
academically sound, offering theory to students and encouraging
them to apply this theory through the use of profiles of
entrepreneurs, case studies, examples, and review and application
questions. The textbook presents the processes and dynamics of
entrepreneurship in South Africa, integrating theory into local
circumstances in an accessible way, addressing opportunities and
highlighting challenges. The third edition of Entrepreneurship:
Theory in Practice is suitable for senior undergraduate students
studying entrepreneurship at university or university of
technology.
Leer speel-speel lees saam met Tippie die olifant! Hierdie vrolik
geillustreerde leesreeks stel die beginnerleser aan klanke soos
"eu", "ie" en "ou" bekend. Die eerste agt boekies in die Leer my
lees-reeks is baie gewild. Die tweede reeks volg op die eerste en
stel die leser aan ietwat ingewikkelder klanke bekend.
This book is a simple and didactic account of the developments and
practical applications of predictive, adaptive predictive, and
optimized adaptive control from a perspective of stability,
including the latest methodology of adaptive predictive expert
(ADEX) control. ADEX Optimized Adaptive Control Systems is divided
into six parts, with exercises and real-time simulations provided
for the reader as appropriate. The text begins with the conceptual
and intuitive knowledge of the technology and derives the stability
conditions to be verified by the driver block and the adaptive
mechanism of the optimized adaptive controller to guaranty the
desired control performance. The second and third parts present
strategic considerations of predictive control and related adaptive
systems necessary for the proper design of driver block and
adaptive mechanism and thence their technical realization. The
authors then proceed to detail the stability theory that supports
predictive, adaptive predictive and optimized adaptive control
methodologies. Benchmark applications of these methodologies
(distillation column and pulp-factory bleaching plant) are treated
next with a focus on practical implementation issues. The final
part of the book describes ADEX platforms and illustrates their use
in the design and implementation of optimized adaptive control
systems to three different challenging-to-control industrial
processes: * waste-water treatment;* sulfur recovery; and*
temperature control of superheated steam in coal-fired power
generation. The presentation is completed by a number of appendices
containing technical background associated with the main text
including a manual for the ADEX COP platform developed by the first
author to exploit the capabilities of adaptive predictive control
in real plants. ADEX Optimized Adaptive Control Systems provides
practicing process control engineers with a multivariable optimal
control solution which is adaptive and resistant to perturbation
and the effects of noise. Its pedagogical features also facilitate
its use as a teaching tool for formal university and Internet-based
open-education-type graduate courses in practical optimal adaptive
control and for self-study.

In response to the recent surge in extractive natural resource
investments in Africa, this insightful book explores how relations
between investors, ruling elites, and local populations develop
when large-scale investments in gas, minerals, and agriculture
expand. Advancing a multi-level approach that encompasses rigorous
theoretical analysis, fieldwork, and literature review, expert
contributors examine the implementation of natural resource
investments and the extent to which they respect procedural rights
of local populations. Chapters draw together understudied bodies of
literature on land-grabbing debates, the resource curse controversy
and corporate social responsibility (CSR), demonstrating how the
chances of large-scale investments in natural resources are at
their greatest when characterised by 'reciprocal exchange deals'
between investors and local populations, 'compatible interests'
between ruling elites and investors, and 'mutual recognition'
between local populations and ruling elites. Through a careful
examination of case studies in Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda,
the book ultimately highlights the complexity of the political
economy of natural resource investments. Providing valuable
theoretical and empirical insights, this book will be an
invigorating read for scholars and students of political economy,
political geography, sustainability, CSR, and business studies. Its
valuable insights on how natural resource investments might
accelerate economic growth and consolidate links between local and
global economies will also be of interest to development
practitioners and investors.

Discover a fascinating region in Southern Spain that offers the
most tantalizing food, through 75 authentic recipes, written with
expertise and using authentic ingredients. Andalucia is the largest
region of Spain and has a food tradition that is rich in shades
from the past: Moorish, Christian and Jewish influences prevail,
but there is so much more to discover. Following decades, if
not centuries, in which the local food accepted prejudice from
outsiders, any change or innovation was inhibited; but now a
fascinating revival is taking place everywhere in Andalucia, as in
the rest of Spain. This is supported by the array of amazing
ingredients from land and sea, by memories and aromas from the past
and by current innovation by Spanish chefs. La Cocina Andalucia has
become even more attractive, improved without losing any of its
character and taste. This selection of truly authentic recipes have
been developed by Maria Jose Sevilla during time spent in her house
in Aracena near Seville. Each recipe will be accompanied by short
histories relating to the character of a chosen locality, a
particular dish or equally important, the people that grow and
prepare the food. It would not be a book about the food loved
by the Andalucians without including some local ingredients and
regional specialities such as Iberico hams from Huelva, olive oils
from Cordoba or Jaen, olives from Seville or sherry vinegar, sea
salt and tiger prawns in Cadiz. Â
Foundations of Public Contracts undertakes an in-depth survey of
the foundations of public contracts in three legal systems:
American, French, and Brazilian. The comparison of these three
systems highlights the legal phenomenon's historical,
philosophical, and social origins. The book transcends the
functional commonalities to penetrate into how American, French,
and Brazilian lawyers think about the essence of government
contracts law, the phenomenon of exceptionalism: preferential
treatment that public procurement law provides to the state in its
contractual dealing with private entities. Comparative public law
professors and students will find great value in this exploration
of the material sources of public contracts, an area that has
heretofore received little attention in legal academia.
