This first South African edition of Human Development: A Life-Span View introduces the student to the issues, forces, and outcomes that make us who we are. It covers contemporary research and theory on human development, set within a South African context, with emphasis on the multidisciplinary approach needed to describe and explain how people change over time.

The text follows a chronological approach, tracing development from conception through late life in sequential order with several chapters dedicated to topical issues across the life span.

The organisation and learning features of the text are designed to make it easier for students to learn about human development.

Never have seven people been so hunted. By assassins. By journalists and lawyers in search of the truth and then TRC investigators wanting justice for the victims’ families.

In 1986, seven young men were shot and killed by police in Gugulethu in Cape Town. The nation was told they were a ‘terrorist’ MK cell. An inquest followed, then a dramatic trial in 1987 and another inquest in 1989. Finally, the fact that Eugene de Kock’s Vlakplaas unit plotted and drove the operation was revealed at the Truth and Reconciliation ten years after the murders but Vlakplaas’s real agenda remained shrouded in mystery.

Hunting the Seven tells the story of the hunt for the truth of the Gugulethu Seven in cinematic style. It took a decade to get to the bottom of the killings.

Sifting through the evidence and original interviews with those involved, Roos-Muller reveals that it was Vlakplaas’s only operation in the Western Cape and an elaborate state-sanctioned snuff movie designed to keep the money rolling into the death squad’s slush fund.

This is a journey through the winelands of France, Sicily, Spain and South Africa told through the voices of the Oddo family and their winemaking partners, pausing to savour local culinary delights and sharing regional recipes and flavours.

Words are spoken from the heart, while the soul of each destination is revealed through enticing visuals and gorgeous food photography.

A book for the traveller, the connoisseur and everyone interested in a taste of the extraordinary world of food and wine.

Property in Housing unpacks the right of access to adequate housing (section 26 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996) from a property perspective. The purpose of the volume is to reassess how and to what extent property plays a role in the protection, promotion and fulfilment of this right.

The characteristics of access to ‘adequate’ housing – as articulated by the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in its General Comment 4 – serve as an organising framework for the volume. It is within this framework that we explore how property law can be used and aligned to implement the right of access to adequate housing as a vehicle for large-scale transformative aims.

Themes that are used to explore the vigorous relationship between property and housing include the centrality of the home in housing versus proprietary conflicts; the extent to which property narrates the conception of adequate housing, absent dedicated legislative reform; and the instrumentality of property as a vehicle for transforming the housing sphere.

The property paradox in the context of the housing clause is threefold: the property institution must be curtailed to make way for housing interests; it must be utilised (with legislative measures and sometimes without) to do some of the section 26(1) heavy lifting – for instance, to provide secure tenure or ensure access to services; and it must foster a culture of regulation by way of the constitutional property clause (section 25), to provide the required access to the spaces that we envision adequate, at the costs that we consider reasonable.

The monograph first introduces the authors’ approach, methodologically and theoretically, with reference to the history of property in housing in South Africa, the limited juridical development of our understanding of ‘adequate’ housing in the constitutional dispensation, the way in which housing relates to other constitutional rights, and the characteristics of having adequate housing. The remainder explores each of the internationally recognised characteristics by drawing on property law – security of tenure, services, accessibility, habitability, affordability, location and cultural adequacy – as components of the organising framework to interpret the progressive realisation of the South African housing mandate and respecting its anti-eviction measures. The development of the normative and substantive content of the right of access to adequate housing lies in the space left incomplete by property law. As such, this monograph is a call to action for this development to be achieved in order to foster a democratic South Africa for all who live in it.

Property in Housing will be a valuable resource for subject specialists, researchers, advanced students, practitioners and the judiciary alike.

Marcus Aurelius kan as 'n ware filosoof-koning beskou word. Ten spyte van sy roem en weelderige lewe aan die hof, het hy voortdurend gestreef na 'n eenvoudige lewe, innerlike vryheid en persoonlike spirituele groei.

Sy Meditasies of Bepeinsinge wat tydens sy laaste lewensjare neergeskryf is, is in 12 boeke verdeel en is nie filosofiese teoriee nie, maar praktiese oefeninge om die filosofie in die leser se gedagtes en optrede te laat deurwerk. Hy besin oor die heelal en die mens as deel daarvan, die verantwoordelikhede van die mens as 'n sosiale wese, verdraagsaamheid teenoor alle mense, hoe om in harmonie met ander en in ooreenstemming met jou ware aard te leef, hoe om te aanvaar wat met jou gebeur, en uiteindelik ook die dood te aanvaar.

Tydens Marcus se heerskappy is die Christene kwaai vervolg, maar tog het sy denke oor 'n ingetoe leefwyse wat nie deur drif nie, maar deur verantwoordelikheid en plig beheer word.

What antique would you kill for?

Freya, it’s down to you to finish what I started . . .

Freya Lockwood has avoided the quaint English village in which she grew up for the last 20 years. That is until news arrives that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and Freya’s estranged mentor, has died – and the circumstances seem suspicious.

You will uncover an invitation, I implore you to attend . . .

But when a letter from Arthur is delivered, sent just days before his death, and an ordinary pine chest concealing Arthur’s journals are revealed, Freya finds herself sucked back into a life she’d sworn to leave behind.

But beware, trust no-one. Your life depends on it . . .

Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Arthur’s staunch best friend, Freya follows both clues and her instincts to an old manor house for an ‘antiques enthusiasts weekend’. But not is all as it seems; the antiques are bad reproductions and the guests all have something to hide.

Can Freya and Carole solve the mystery and unearth the killer before they strike again? Find out in The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder, the unputdownable cosy crime caper from C L Miller.

Those featured in The Texture of Dissent were shaped and preoccupied by the issues facing South Africans after the Nationalist Party election victory in 1948 and most of the academics included in this volume only became prominent from the late 1990s. This volume draws on the ways in which public intellectuals are involved in the ‘political work of social change’ through defiant thought and action. Those assembled in this volume are, in the view of the writers, people who ultimately leave deep imprints on what it means to be human in a very complex and divided society.

Bea Malan, oftewel, Koningin Bea, vind met 'n skok uit haar ouers gaan skei en dat sy en haar ma na Johannesburg verhuis. Nou bevind sy haar tussen vreemde kinders in 'n stad wat sy nie ken nie en 'n skool wat sy nie verstaan nie. Maar namate haar geheim al swaarder op haar druk, beweeg sy nader daaraan om nuwe mense – en dinge – in haar lewe toe te laat. Sy sal moet grootword as sy nie wil toelaat dat die lewe haar soos borrelgom kou nie.
