Lincoln Mali spent his youth as a student activist fighting the apartheid system. After spending many nights in jail and detention, he reached a turning point and decided to use his knowledge and skills more proactively. He enrolled at Rhodes University to study law. After realising that law wasn’t working for him and neither was his time in Mandela’s government, he decided to go the corporate route and joined Standard Bank. And here was where he thrived.
Most of Mali’s business and leadership lessons were learnt while working for Standard Bank around Africa. He had to overcome imposter syndrome, toxic work environments, transformation issues and learn how to motivate, inspire and lead. And with Mali’s guidance, you can do all that too.
So, are you ready to be inspired?
Metapolitics, Algorithms and Violence argues that we need a more
fine-grained approach to understand contemporary far-right violence
– an approach that takes language and cultural production in a
digital economy seriously. The book underlines the importance of
socio-political, economic, historical and technological context in
understanding the rise of the new right. More concretely, based on
a digital ethnographic approach, it argues that we should
understand this violence and the contemporary rise of new far-right
practices and actors in relation to the theoretical renewal of
‘La Nouvelle Droite’ in the 20th century; the
‘democratization’ of New Right metapolitics in the 21st century
as a result of the rise of digital media; and the development of a
layered, transnational and polycentric New Right cultural niche in
which far-right activists and terrorists produce identity,
discourse, digital cultures and practices. This work will be an
engaging and necessary read for researchers interested in social
media, digital culture, far-right politics, extremism and
terrorism.
Community Responses to Disasters in the Pacific Rim presents
different aspects of place-making in displacement in the Pacific
Rim region. It focuses focus on how people respond and readjust to

and the critical moments that facilitate this development.
Interdisciplinary and using diverse research approaches, the book
includes contributions by authors from a variety of disciplines
across disaster research, sociology, urban planning, architecture,
anthropology, earth science, and education. Mixed methods are
adopted to carry out the research projects that ground this volume,
including qualitative research for social scientific research,
ethnographic methods and more importantly, Participatory Action
Research (PAR) is also included by authors who have a background in
design professions and a few indigenous scholars who are themselves
survivors of disasters. The chapters are structured in the
following five thematic sections: 1. Learning as place-making in
displacement 2. Gender and place-making in response to displacement
3. Community resilience in keeping indigenous sense of place 4.
Community (Re)building in displacement 5. Transnational
Place-making: Talk to the Actor. Understanding how affected
communities are recovering from their own perspectives, this book

In this highly original study Joseph Mali explores how four
attentive and inventive readers of Giambattista Vico's New Science
(1744) the French historian Jules Michelet (1798 1874), the Irish
writer James Joyce (1882 1941), the German literary scholar Erich
Auerbach (1892 1957) and the English philosopher Isaiah Berlin
(1909 1997) came to find in Vico's work the inspiration for their
own modern theories (or, in the case of Joyce, stories) of human
life and history. Mali's reconstruction of the specific
biographical and historical occasions in which these influential
men of letters encountered Vico reveals how their initial
impressions and interpretations of his theory of history were
decisive both for their intellectual development and their major
achievements in literature and thought. This new interpretation of
the legacy of Vico's New Science is essential reading for all those
engaged in the history of ideas and modern cultural history.

Dieses Open-Access-Buch setzt sich mit der übergeordneten
Forschungsfrage auseinander, für welche Dimensionen
subjektiven elterlichen Wohlbefindens das Kind eine Rolle spielt.
Anhand eines systematischen Gangs durch den bestehenden Theorie-
und Forschungsstand zum Verhältnis von kindlichen Anforderungen,
erhöhten Anforderungen in der Elternrolle und elterlichem
Wohlbefinden kristallisieren sich wesentliche Forschungslücken
heraus. Der erste Teil der Arbeit fragt, im Rahmen eines Vergleichs
von Eltern und kinderlosen Paaren, kritisch danach, ob Kinder
unglücklich machen. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit befasst sich
speziell mit dem Ãœbergang zur Elternschaft als einer besonders
anforderungsreichen Phase in der Familienentwicklung. Dabei steht
im Zentrum der Untersuchung, wie frischgebackene Eltern mit den
neuen, noch unbekannten Betreuungs- und Pflegeanforderungen des
Babys umgehen. Kann die Partnerschaft dieser Bewährungsprobe
standhalten?
Thabo goes into the forest to hunt for food because their river is
polluted. He discovers a golden egg that he puts next to his
campfire. During the night the egg hatches. Thabo is surprised
because a little dragon hatches from the egg. He looks after her
and they become good friends. This is the first book in a series of
adventures with the friends.
This monograph sketches out a broad spectrum of problems (from
evolution and metabolism to morphogenesis and biogeographical
dynamics) whose solution has been impacted by mathematical models.
Each of the selected examples has led to the recognition-and set
direction to further study-of certain fundamental but unintuitive
properties of biological systems, such as the making and breaking
of specific symmetries that underlie morphogenesis. Whether they
are long-established or only recently accepted, these models are
selected for being thought-provoking and illuminating both the
achievements and the gaps in our current understanding of the given
area of biology. The selection of models is also meant to bring to
the fore the existing degree of unity in the quantitative approach
to diverse general-biological questions and in the systems-level
properties that are discovered across the levels of biological
organization. It is the thesis of this book that further
cultivation of such unity is a way forward as we progress toward a
general theory of living matter. This is an ideal book for students
(in the broadest sense) of biology who wish to learn from this
attempt to present the exemplary models, their methodological
lessons, and the outline of a unified theory of living matter that
is now beginning to emerge. In addition to a doctoral student
preparing for quantitative biology research, this reader could also
be an interdisciplinary scientist transitioning to biology. The
latter-for example, a physicist or an engineer-may be comfortable
with the mathematical apparatus and prepared to quickly enter the
intended area of work, but desires a broader foundation in biology
from the quantitative perspective.
This book explores the role and impact of the settlement house
movement in the global development of social welfare and the social
work profession. It traces the transnational history of settlement
houses and examines the interconnections between the settlement
house movement, other social and professional movements and social
research. Looking at how the settlement house movement developed
across different national, cultural and social boundaries, this
book show that by understanding its impact, we can better
understand the wider global development of social policy, social
research and the social work profession.
Aromatic compounds are a diverse and fascinating class of compounds
with wide-ranging importance. This book provides an overview of the
synthesis and reactivity of aromatic compounds. The publication
covers the many important reaction types, such as electrophilic and
nucleophilic substitution, the reactivity of benzynes, aryllithium
chemistry, and transition metal-mediated reactions. It also
includes a discussion of the synthesis of heteroaromatic compounds,
polycyclic aromatic compounds, and nonplanar aromatic systems. This
book focusses on reaction mechanisms and numerous examples of
applications in multistep synthesis of aromatic compounds.
An indispensable guide that empowers parents to understand and
recognise anxiety in their children, and to help them to develop
strategies to manage it together. An indispensable guide that
empowers parents to understand and recognise anxiety in their
children, and to help them to develop strategies to manage it
together. Parents hold the key to helping their children with the
strains of our always-on world. Love In, Love Out helps parents to
step back and learn to understand the anxiety that an increasing
number of children experience at one time or another. In her book,
Clinical Psychologist, National University of Ireland Lecturer, A
Lust for Life Mental Health Advisor and mother of two, Dr Malie
Coyne sets out to help parents to help their anxious children.
Drawing from key psychological theories (attachment theory,
cognitive behavioural therapy and compassion-focused therapy), and
real-life case studies, Coyne translates her knowledge and
experience into practical advice for busy families and stressed-out
parents. As parents learn to become the 'emotional anchor' from
which their child can learn to trust and begin to explore their
world, they will find the balance between helping their anxious
children feel safe and encouraging them to face their fears as they
grow and develop. Filled with hands-on activities and centred on a
compassionate, kind approach to children and their parents, Love
In, Love Out will become a bedside bible for parents of children of
any age, helping them to negotiate the many bumps in the road to
managing their anxiety.

Current research lays emphasis on exploring natural products for
use in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals to overcome various side
effects of synthetic drugs. Fungi occupy an eminent position among
natural sources of food and medicinal importance since ancient
times. Many fungal species have been eaten as food and used in folk
medicine for the treatment of many human ailments as mentioned in
traditional medical literature. However, scanty information is
available pertaining to the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical
importance of fungi which merits an extensive review. This book
spotlights the use value macrofungi in human health. Macrofungi
with health benefitting properties largely belong to Basidiomycota
followed by Ascomycota growing indoor (cultivated) and outdoor
(wild). We endeavoured to throw light on the benefits of
macrofungal taxa in relation to their food and medicinal
significance in human life. We provided knowledge pertaining to the
ethnomycological significance of macrofungi with respect to their
uses as food and medicine by the people inhabiting different parts
of the world. This book highlights the nutritional composition and
bioactive compounds present in macrofungi. We also focused on the
pharmacological activities of macrofungi contributing towards their
medicinal value against several human disorders. We cited many
commercially available nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products of
macrofungal origin. This work will hopefully serve as a basic
reference for general public, mycologists, researches and industry
men, interested in consumption, research and marketing of
macrofungi.
