Dit is die tweede boek in die Zeus van Wyngaardt-reeks.
Hierdie keer word Zeus se buurman, Atif Dinali, se tienerdogter Tahina vermis. Zeus vermoed dat mensehandel en prostitusieringe iets met haar verdwyning te doen het. Sy ondersoek lei hom na die verleidelike Wildene du Bois, ’n courtisane wat eens op ’n tyd betrokke was by ’n mensehandelsindikaat.
Zeus besef egter gou dat hierdie saak maar net een tentakel van ’n groter monster is.
Privaat speurder Zeus van Wyngaardt sou nooit kon droom dat ’n godin soos Diana Engelbrecht (sy naam is Zeus, hy ken godinne) op ’n dag by sy gehawende kantoor in Springs sou instap nie. Haar opdrag: Vind die vermiste Esias Kok.
Zeus besef gou agter elke storie is daar baie stories, en dié godin is dalk nie wat sy voorgee om te wees nie. Soos wat hy elke spoor begin volg, vervaag die grense tussen die reële en die digitale węreld, oortreder en slagoffer, skuld en onskuld …
In hierdie aweregse roman vervleg Julio Agrella die lewens van uiteenlopende karakters op vindingryke wyse. Dit wat agter die geslote deure van die armstes tot die rykstes in die samelewing gebeur, wys dat misbruik en geweld nie onderskeid tref nie. ’n Boek wat die leser sal skok, sal laat lag met die donker humor daarvan, en aan die raai sal hou tot die einde.

The centrality of natural resources to global economic growth has
placed the debate over their ownership and control at the forefront
of legal, territorial and political disputes. Combining both legal
and policy expertise with academic and practitioner perspectives
this book considers the dimensions of natural resource governance
at a time when disputes over their use grow more acute. Focusing on
the law, regulation and governance of natural resources, this
timely work examines in detail the conflicts and contradictions
arising at the intersection between international economic law,
sustainable development and other areas of international law, most
notably human rights law and environmental law. Exploring the views
of different stakeholder groups in the natural resources sectors,
key chapters consider whether their differing interests and
concerns are adequately addressed under national and international
law. This book will appeal to scholars of law, political science
and development studies. It will also benefit policy practitioners
and advocacy specialists in development NGOs, research institutes
and international organisations. Contributors include: S. Adelman,
J.P. Bohoslavsky, C. Buggenhoudt, L. Cotula, D. Davitti, J.

The exceptional quality of previous editions has been built upon to
make the twelfth edition of Atkins' Physical Chemistry even more
closely suited to the needs of both lecturers and students. The
writing style has been refreshed in collaboration with current
students of physical chemistry in order to retain the clarity for
which the book is recognised while mirroring the way you read and
engage with information. The new edition is now available as an
enhanced e-book, which offers you a richer, more dynamic learning
experience. It does this by incorporating digital enhancements that
are carefully curated and thoughtfully inserted at meaningful
points to enhance the learning experience. In addition, it offers
formative auto-graded assessment materials to provide you with
regular opportunities to test their understanding. Digital
enhancements introduced for the new edition include dynamic graphs,
which you can interact with to explore how the manipulation of
variables affects the results of the graphs; self-check questions
at the end of every Topic; video content from physical chemists;
and video tutorials to accompany each Focus, which dig deeper into
the key equations introduced. There is also a new foundational
prologue entitled 'Energy: A First Look', which summarizes key
concepts that are best kept in mind right from the beginning of
your physical chemistry studies. The coupling of the broad coverage
of the subject with a structure and use of pedagogy that is even
more innovative will ensure Atkins' Physical Chemistry remains the
textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry.

Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) gets separated from his family
at Christmas time again. This time, they're in Florida and he's in
New York, and the two bumbling gangsters from 'Home Alone' (Joe
Pesci and Daniel Stern) are out of jail and on Kevin's trail.
If ancient history is particularly susceptible to a top-down
approach, due to the nature of our evidence and its traditional
exploitation by modern scholars, another ancient history—â€from
below’—is actually possible. This volume examines the
possibilities and challenges involved in writing it. Despite
undeniable advances in recent decades, â€our slowness to
reconstruct plausible visions of almost any aspect of society
beyond the top-most strata of wealth, power or status’ (as
Nicholas Purcell has put it) remains a persistent feature of the
field. Therefore, this book concerns a historical field and social
groups that are still today neglected by modern scholarship.
However, writing ancient history â€from below’ means much more
than taking into account the anonymous masses, the subaltern
classes and the non-elites. Our task is also, in the felicitous
expression coined by Walter Benjamin, â€to brush history against
the grain,’ to rescue the viewpoint of the subordinated, the
traditions of the oppressed. In other words, we should understand
the bulk of ancient populations in light of their own experience
and their own reactions to that experience. But, how do we do such
a history? What sources can we use? What methods and approaches can
we employ? What concepts are required to this endeavour? The
contributions mainly engage with questions of theory and
methodology, but they also constitute inspiring case studies in
their own right, ranging from classical Greece to the late antique
world. This book is aimed not only at readers working on classical
Greece, republican and imperial Rome and late antiquity but at
anyone interested in â€bottom-up’ history and social and
population history in general. Although the book is primarily
intended for scholars, it will also appeal to graduate and
undergraduate students of history, archaeology and classical
studies.
Combining a theoretical approach with practical activities, this
book is invaluable for nursing and midwifery students and will help
them to master the basics of writing at university. It equips
students with the skills needed to examine cognitive processes such
as reflection and critical thinking and includes essential
information on referencing correctly and avoiding plagiarism. Going
beyond the traditional essay, it provides support and guidance on
producing care critiques, action plans, portfolios and journal
article reviews alongside complex argumentative writing and
undergraduate dissertation proposals. This fourth edition supports
nursing and midwifery students throughout their course, with new
sections on making effective notes, writing abstracts and designing
posters for conferences as well as a writing skills questionnaire
to help assess their level and track their progress. It reflects
the latest referencing styles and reflection models and includes
more examples from mental health, children and learning disability
nursing. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this is a
comprehensive writing toolkit for students of nursing, midwifery,
health and social care. Suitable for students of all levels, it is
ideal for use in class or for independent study. Even more useful
resources, videos and activities can be found on a companion
website (www.worldsofenglish.com/).
Sample Sizes for Clinical Trials, Second Edition is a practical
book that assists researchers in their estimation of the sample
size for clinical trials. Throughout the book there are detailed
worked examples to illustrate both how to do the calculations and
how to present them to colleagues or in protocols. The book also
highlights some of the pitfalls in calculations as well as the key
steps that lead to the final sample size calculation. Features:
Comprehensive coverage of sample size calculations, including
Normal, binary, ordinal, and survival outcome data Covers
superiority, equivalence, non-inferiority, bioequivalence and
precision objectives for both parallel group and crossover designs
Highlights how trial objectives impact the study design with
respect to both the derivation of sample formulae and the size of
the study Motivated with examples of real-life clinical trials
showing how the calculations can be applied New edition is extended
with all chapters revised, some substantially, and four completely
new chapters on multiplicity, cluster trials, pilot studies, and
single arm trials The book is primarily aimed at researchers and
practitioners of clinical trials and biostatistics, and could be
used to teach a course on sample size calculations. The importance
of a sample size calculation when designing a clinical trial is
highlighted in the book. It enables readers to quickly find an
appropriate sample size formula, with an associated worked example,
complemented by tables to assist in the calculations.
Backed by evidence and research, this practical book presents an
innovative yet comprehensive approach to teaching non-native
English speakers the main communication and cultural competencies

tasks to encourage reflection and notes on relevant cultural and
technological issues. Practical features in each unit include
lesson plans and materials, insights from the research, extension
tasks, reflection activities and further readings. Supported by
current learning theories, key teaching methodologies and
assessment materials, the chapters address the challenges that
non-native English speakers may face in the international
English-speaking workplace. Areas of focus include: Job hunting Job
applications Interviews Interpersonal, written and spoken
communication Performance appraisals Applying for promotions
Written for pre-service, practicing and future teachers, with
specific guidance for each role, this is an essential resource for
all educators who want to confidently address the challenges that

'In the galaxy of issues that developing countries are faced with
in their international economic relations, this publication manages
to focus on some critical areas of particular concern to developing
countries. Moreover, the issues focussed on have a contemporary
relevance touching as they do on financial reform, aid and IMF
conditionality, international trade and investment, multinational
corporations, competition, corruption, the environment and
intellectual property issues. This is a comprehensive appraisal of
development related problems in international economic relations
written by practitioners and academics in the field.' - Asif
Qureshi, University of Manchester, UK International Economic Law,
Globalization and Developing Countries explores the impact of
globalization on the international legal system, with a special
focus on the implications for developing countries. The onset of
the current process of globalization has brought about momentous
changes to the rules and processes of international law. This
comprehensive book examines a number of these changes, including
the radical expansion of international economic law, the increase
in the power of international economic organizations, and the new
informal approaches to law-making. The greater reliance on judicial
and arbitral mechanisms, and the proliferation of international
human rights instruments, many of which have a direct bearing on
international economic relations, are also discussed. The
contributors to this book are all prominent experts in the fields
of international law and international political economy, drawn
from both developing and developed countries. This insightful book
will appeal to scholars and advanced students with an interest in
international law, development studies, international political
economy and international governance. It will also be an
indispensable tool for practitioners - including members of leading
international NGOs, international lawyers, political scientists and
international development specialists. Contributors: Y. Akyuz, D.

"Midlife" is a concept used everywhere and from many different
vertexes, though mostly imprecisely, even within the psychoanalytic
paradigm. This book tries to settle its proper meaning through the
challenge of laying the foundations for the development of a true
psychoanalytic metapsychology for "midlife", something that the
editors believe in psychoanalysis was lacking. From this viewpoint,
they invited fourteen renowned psychoanalysts to share their ideas
about the issue. The outcome of that work is Updating Midlife:
Psychoanalytic Perspectives, which, in addition to the various
contributions, includes an introductory paper by the editors. This
book is a true step forward in the development of a specific
metapsychology for "midlife".
Against the background of an increasingly diverse British society,
this book traces the evolution of British identity in the twentieth
century. Debates exploring the nature of Britishness and
multiculturalism are here deconstructed through a linguistic lens,
which considers the role played by the English language in shaping
Britain's national identity. Within this context, two significant
historical events are considered: the expansionism of nineteenth
century British Empire, and the subsequent rise of the United
States to the position of world superpower. In charting the
development of British nationhood over time, the book identifies
three contrasting public narratives, each reflecting society's
perceptions of the identity question at particular points in time:
a discourse of laissez-faire at the turn of the century; a
discourse of multiculturalism in the ensuing decades; and a
discourse of integration during the closing years. The book raises
fundamental questions about who we are as a nation and how we got
here. It also provides clues as to the direction the prevailing
public discourse on British identity is likely to take in the
twenty-first century.

immigration and criminal justice law
Atomic Habits meets The Subtle Art of Not Giving a
F**k in this life-changing guide to freeing yourself from the
automated behaviours, values, and relationships that keep you from
being happy. When the pandemic essentially brought the world to a
standstill, author Julio Gambuto came to understand a powerful
truth: in the pre-pandemic world, people were exhausted, lonely,
unhappy, wildly overworked and overbooked, drowning in sea of
constantly being on the go and needing to buy more, more, more. But
when that pressure disappeared, people rediscovered what was
important to them. They quit jobs that made them unhappy and moved
their families to suburbs. Simple things like outdoor walks
replaced gym memberships; home cooking and backyard gardens
replaced takeout; less commuting meant more time for family and
creative projects; and for perhaps the first time in a long time,
people were being honest. Honest about what they wanted, what
they believed in. Honest about the problems they were facing within
their families, friend groups, workplaces, towns, and society
overall. That honesty, he noticed, had the potential to make the
ground shift. It created a capacity for change. But he also knew
that it likely wouldn’t last, because the most powerful forces
running our world would not allow it to. They wanted control over
our clicks, our conversations, our dollars, our work, our
votes—our lives. The only way that we could beat those
systems, would be to resist the calls to keep moving, and to “go
back to normal.” In order to change, we had to unsubscribe. Now,
in Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!, Gambuto gives us a radical
blueprint for the ways we can take a deep breath, renew and commit
to a life that we really want, individually and collectively, from
unsubscribing to emails and automated subscriptions to reevaluating
the presence of people and ideas and habits that no longer serve us
or make us happy. Infused with the practical advice in James
Clear’s Atomic Habits and the humor of Sarah
Knight’s The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a
F**k, Please Unsubscribe, Thanks! helps us focus on
where we find joy in our lives and encourages us to toss out what
doesn’t bring us joy in this modern world.

How should we construct sacred spaces, the places where we worship?
Transcending Architecture considers the mysterious, profound, and
real power of designed environments to address the spiritual
dimension of our humanity. By incorporating perspectives from
within and without architecture, the book o ers a wide, critical,
and nuanced understandin of the lived relationship between the
built and the numinous worlds. Far from avoiding the charged issues
of subjectivity, culture andintangibility, the book examines
phenomenological, symbolic and designerly ways in which the holy
gets fixed and experienced through buildings, landscapes, and urban
forms, and not just in institutionally defined religious or sacred
places. Acknowledging that no individual voice can exhaust the
topic, Transcending Architecture brings together a stellar group of
scholars and practitioners to share their insights: architect
Juhani Pallasmaa and philosopher Karsten Harries, comparative
religion scholar Lindsay Jones and architectural theoretician Karla
Britton, sacred architecture researcher Thomas Barrie and
theologian Kevin Seasoltz, landscape architect Rebecca Krinke and
Faith & Form magazine editor Michael Crosbie, are among the
illustrious contributors. The result is the most direct, clear, and
subtle scholarly text solely focused on the transcendental
dimension of architecture available. This book thus provides, on
one hand, understanding, relief, and growth to an architectural
discipline that usually avoids its ineffable dimension and, on the
other hand, a necessary dose of detail and reality to fields such
as theological aesthetics, material anthropology, or philosophical
phenomenology that too often fall trapped into unproductive
generalizations and over-intellectualizations.
This book offers a holistic view of Julio Boltvinik’s vast and
important work on poverty conceptualisation and measurement. While
well known to Spanish-speaking audiences, this volume brings these
works together to offer access for English-speaking audiences for
the first time. The book provides the foundations, application and
empirical examples of Boltvinik’s Integrated Poverty Measurement
Method, which could potentially transform poverty narratives
globally as it has done in Mexico. Deeply critical of available
poverty approaches, it provides a challenging and radically new way
of conceiving and measuring poverty, offering the only
multidimensional poverty measurement method which includes
time-poverty and allows all Aggregate Poverty Measures to be fully
calculated.
