1990 was ’n waterskeidingsjaar in Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis. Sedertdien het die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing, en ook die NG Kerk, baie verander.Neels Jackson bied sy indrukke van die belangrikste tendense wat van 1990 tot 2020 in die NG Kerk plaasgevind het. Die wortel van die kerk word teruggevoer na Jesus toe, en die NG Kerk vandag kan ’n uitdagende toekoms op die spoor van Jesus Christus met vertroue tegemoet gaan.
Where will you look for the biggest, tallest or most corpulent trees in South Africa, or trees that have witnessed major events in the country’s history? These interesting specimens, and many others, are found in parks, nature reserves, on farms, on town and city streets and in private gardens – some perhaps even right on the reader’s doorstep.
Remarkable Trees of South Africa journeys into the fascinating world of trees. Written in an easy, anecdotal style, the authors relate, in text and photographs, the historical, cultural and economical significance of South Africa’s trees. Also included are accounts of the major tree families, as well as an overview of trees as monuments and in botanical gardens, parks and arboreta.
Now in its second edition, the text has been completely updated with additional information on Champion Trees and the authors’ selection of the Big Five Trees of South Africa. Presented as a coffee-table book with full-colour photographs throughout, anyone with an interest in history and nature, South African flora in particular, will find this book an essential addition to their home library.

With the launch of the first edition of Integrated marketing
communication (IMC) in 2001, it was the first title with this
title; currently it still is. In recent international publications
on this topic, authors have questioned the use of the concept IMC,
preferring integrated brand promotion (IBP). These authors argue
that IMC emphasises the communication effort, but that IBP goes
beyond this, and they postulate that coordinated promotional
messages need to have brand-building effects and not just
communication effects. By implication it can be deduced from that
statement that integrated marketing communication does not contain
brand-building effects - which, of course, is not true. The use of
the term promotion is also too limiting and refers to a specific
communication device, therefore the authors of this book contend
that IMC is still valid. The authors' view is that the brand is
crucial and must be the focus when the situation and strategy
require it. The central role of brand has been addressed in this
title, and the importance is frequently mentioned in the various
applications of the IMC elements. Since the publication of the
second edition in 2005, valuable comments have been received from
users. The validity of information was re-assessed, and new updates
were made in terms of theory and South African market statistics.
In addition, new cases have been included in various chapters,
measurement techniques have been added in each chapter and more
examples have been included.

“How ought one to live?” This is the question that obsesses
London-based publisher Ayush, driving him to question every act of
consumption. He embarks on a radical experiment in his own life and
the lives of those connected to him: his practical, economist
husband; their twins; and even the authors he edits and publishes.
One of those authors, a mysterious M. N. Opie, writes a story about
a young academic involved in a car accident that causes her life to
veer in an unexpected direction. Another author, an economist,
describes how the gift of a cow to an impoverished family on the
West Bengal–Bangladesh border sets them on a startling path to
tragedy. Together, these connected narratives raise the question:
How free are we really to make our own choices? In a scathing,
compassionate quarrel with the world, Neel Mukherjee confronts our
fundamental assumptions about economics, race, appropriation, and
the tangled ethics of contemporary life.
A book of moral and religious reflections written by a Carolingian
noblewoman for her teenage son in the middle of the 9th century.
Intended as a guide to right conduct, the book was to be shared in
time with William's younger brother. Dhuoda's situation was
poignant. Her husband, Bernard, the count of Septimania, was away
and she was separated from her children. William was being held by
Charles the Bald as a guarantee of his father's loyalty, and the
younger son's whereabouts were unknown. As war raged in the
crumbling Carolingian Empire, the grieving mother, fearing for the
spiritual and physical welfare of her absent sons, began in 841 to
write her loving counsel in a handbook. Two years later she sent it
to William. The book memorably expresses Dhuoda's maternal
feelings, religious fervor and learning. In teaching her children
how they might flourish in God's eyes, as well as humanity's,
Dhuoda reveals the authority of Carolingian women in aristocratic
households. She dwells on family relations, social order, the
connection between religious and military responsibility, and,
always, the central place of Christian devotion in a noble life.
One of the few surviving texts written by a woman in the Middle
Ages, Dhuoda's ""Liber manualis"" was available in only two faulty
Latin manuscripts until a third, superior one was discovered in the
1950s. This English translation is based on the 1975 critical
edition and French translation by Pierre Riche. Now available for
the first time in paperback, it includes an afterword written by
Carol Neel that takes into account recent scholarship and the 1991
revised edition of Riche's text.
Linguistic Landscape studies examine language(s) in public spaces.
This study focuses on the interplay of language, space and
sociocultural context: Yaounde's Linguistic Landscape is examined
with respect to its multilingual and multimodal nature. Next to a
sociolinguistic framework, a (socio)cognitive analysis is also put
centre stage.
Originally published in 1927 by Harper and Brothers, this book is
the culmination of more than twenty years of Madame Alexandra
David-Neel's intensive study and daring adventure in mysterious
territories of the East. In order to penetrate Tibet and reach
Lhasa, she used her fluency of Tibetan dialects and culture,
disguised herself as a beggar with yak hair extensions and inked
skin and tackled some of the roughest terrain and climate in the
World. With the help of her young companion, Yongden, she willingly
suffered the primitive travel conditions, frequent outbreaks of
disease, the ever-present danger of border control and the military
to reach her goal. The determination and sheer physical fortitude
it took for this woman, delicately reared in Paris and Brussels, is
inspiration for men and women alike. David-Neel is famous for being
the first Western woman to have been received by any Dalai Lama and
as a passionate scholar and explorer of Asia, her's is one of the
most remarkable of all travellers' tales.

The revolutionary book that teaches you how to use the cutting edge
of human psychology to build high performing workplace cultures.
Too often, great cultures feel like magic. While most leaders
believe culture is critical to success, few know how to build one,
or sustain it over time. What if you knew the science behind the
magic-a science so predictive and powerful that you could transform
your organization? What if you could use cutting edge psychology to
unlock people's innate desire to innovate, experiment, and adapt?
In Primed to Perform, Neel Doshi and Lindsay McGregor show you how
to do just that. The result: higher sales, more loyal customers,
and more passionate employees. Primed to Perform explains the
counter-intuitive science behind great cultures, building on over a
century of academic thinking. It shares the simple, highly
predictive new measurement tool-the Total Motivation (ToMo)
Factor-that enables you to measure the strength of your culture,
and track improvements over time. It explores the authors' original
research into how Total Motivation leads to higher performance in
iconic companies, from Apple to Starbucks to Southwest Airlines.
Most importantly, it teaches you to build great cultures, using a
systematic and sustainable approach. High performing cultures cant
be left to chance. Organizations must create systems that shape and
maintain them. Whether you're a five-person team or a startup, a
school, a nonprofit or a mega-institution, Primed to Perform shows
you how.
This book offers a range of empirically-based case studies in the
field of cultural linguistics and neighbouring disciplines such as
intercultural pragmatics and language pedagogy. The first section
explores intercultural communication and
cross-linguistic/cross-cultural investigations in settings such as
Brazil, Nigeria, Cameroon, Tanzania, Morocco, France and Canada.
The second section focuses on applications of cultural linguistics
in the field of foreign language teaching. By drawing on English as
a Foreign Language and English as a Second Language contexts, the
case studies presented further examine the ramification of cultural
linguistics in the language classroom, enabling a better
understanding of culture-specific conceptual differences between
learners' first and target language(s).
Neels Jackson, kerkjoernalis van byna 30 jaar, glo dat godsdiens
grootliks gaan oor die nakoming van Jesus se oproep om Hom te
volg. Vir hom het Jesus se liefde egter bepalende implikasies vir die
gay debat. Sy empatie en liefde vir gay mense moet verstaan word in
die lig van Jesus se onvoorwaardelike liefde vir die randfigure van sy
tyd en hoe Hy teenoor die Farisers opgetree het. Die skrywer
ontleed die sewe gaytekste in die Bybel binne die konteks waarin dit
geskryf is en kom tot die slotsom dat dit niks met homoseksualiteit te
doen het nie. Die skrywer vul sy argument aan met die behandeling
van 'n aantal misverstande oor gaywees en gay mense, asook ander
argumente wat gaywees as sonde veroordeel. Hy voer dan ook aan
dat Jesus se verruiming van die wet, asook die verskerping van die
wet, vir ons die riglyn moet wees.
The New Testament is filled with stories of Jesus eating with
people-from extravagant wedding banquets to simple meals of loaves
and fishes. The Food and Feasts of Jesus offers a new perspective
on life in biblical times by taking readers inside these meals.
Food production and distribution impacted all aspects of ancient
life, including the teachings of Jesus. From elaborate holiday
feasts to a simple farmer's lunch, the book explores the
significance of various meals, discusses key ingredients, places
food within the socioeconomic conditions of the time, and offers
accessible recipes for readers to make their own tastes of the
first century. Ideal for individual reading or group study, this
book opens a window into the tumultuous world of the first century
and invites readers to smell, touch, and taste the era's food.
This volume grew out of the 36th International LAUD Symposium,
which was held in March 2014 at the University of Koblenz-Landau in
Landau, Germany. There is general consensus among language experts
that slightly more than half of today's 7,000 languages are under
severe threat of extinction even within fifty to one hundred years.
The 13 papers contained in this volume explore the dramatic loss of
linguistic diversity, why this matters, and what can be done and
achieved to document and support endangered languages especially in
the context of an ever increasing globalized world. The issue of
vanishing languages is discussed from a variety of methodologies
and perspectives: sociolinguistics, language ecology, language
contact, language policy/planning, attitudes and linguistic
inequalities.
The prevalent global heritage discourse has been primarily
Euro-centric in its origin, premise, and praxis. Diverse cultural,
historical, and geographical contexts, such as that of Asia, call
for more context-specific approaches to heritage management. This
book explores this complexity of managing the cultural heritage in
Asia. Case studies include sites of Angkor, Himeji Castle,
Kathmandu Valley, Luang Prabang, Lumbini, and Malacca, and the book
uses these to explore the religious worldviews, heritage policies,
intangible heritage dimensions, traditional preservation practices,
cultural tourism, and the notion of cultural landscape that are
crucial in understanding the cultural heritage in Asia. It
critiques the contemporary regulatory frameworks in operation and
focuses on the issues of global impact on the local cultures in the
region. The book goes on to emphasize the need for integrated
heritage management approaches that encompass the plurality of
heritage conservation concerns in Asian countries. Themes are
discussed from the vantage point of heritage scholars and
practitioners in the South, Southeast, and East Asia. This book
thus presents a distinctive Asian perspective which is a valuable
source for students and practitioners of heritage within and beyond
the Asian context.
'Dr Sharma has definitely mastered the art of producing a
comprehensive, evidence-based review tool of core paediatric
knowledge whilst at the same time appealing to a broad audience,
which in my opinion is quite a remarkable achievement. You're
definitely looking at an invaluable resource and buying this book
will help you to rise up to the challenge that is the complexity of
paediatrics.' - Tiago Villanueva in his Foreword. Undergraduate
medical students often struggle with at least some of the specialty
elements of their studies. Some face a further challenge with the
advent of the Medical Schools Council Assessment Alliance (MSC-AA,
formerly known as UMAP), with a move away from testing specific
clinical facts to an assessment focused on preparing to be a
foundation doctor and the knowledge such a trainee needs on a daily
basis. Neel Sharma has written three self-assessment books - on
psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, and paediatrics - designed
to help students tackle both the new form of assessment as well as
the traditional style of examination. Questions covering all common
presentations are included in SBA and EMQ formats with relevant,
concise explanations as answers.

Upon changing his religion, a young man is denounced as an apostate
and flees his country hiding in the back of a freezer lorry...
After years of travelling and losing almost everything - his
country, his children, his wife, his farm - an Afghan man finds
unexpected warmth and comfort in a stranger's home... A student
protester is forced to leave his homeland after a government
crackdown, and spends the next 25 years in limbo, trapped in the UK
asylum system... Modelled on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the second
volume of Refugee Tales sets out to communicate the experiences of
those who, having sought asylum in the UK, find themselves
indefinitely detained. Here, poets and novelists create a space in
which the stories of those who have been detained can be safely
heard, a space in which hospitality is the prevailing discourse and
listening becomes an act of welcome.
The first personal narrative about World War II was published two
months after America entered the war on December 8, 1941. Between
then and the year following the end of the war, over 500 of these
narratives were published to feed the public's need to know about
the war. These eyewitness accounts, written by war correspondents,
service men and women, home front civilians, and defense workers,
were a welcome change to the stark military dispatches printed in
the daily press. Great Stories of World War II provides a fully
annotated, bibliographic listing of each of these sources.
Additionally, each entry includes citations for any reviews the
work received in any of six major American reviewing journals. This
unique guide provides personal insights into race relations, sexual
conduct, combat, missionary life, life as a prisoner of war,
concentration camp experiences, and military and civilian politics
of the war years from both the male and female perspective.
Remarkably detailed and generally uncensored, these disclosures of
life during the Second World War constitute an invaluable and
underutilized resource for historians, geographers, and students of
this great historical event.
