Most planning degrees at South African universities include a compulsory course in planning law. This is usually the first time that planning students encounter law as a discipline. Planning students therefore need to familiarise themselves with sources such as the Constitution, legislation and court decisions. The Planning
Law Casebook seeks to assist students in this regard. Understanding how to use, interpret and apply case law is perhaps the most difficult aspect of planning law.
Part I of the Planning Law Casebook describes the different parts of a typical court case. Part II briefly explains how the Casebook should be used. Part III contains discussions and analyses of 18 key planning law cases, which reflect the different components of current planning law. Part IV is a glossary in which the relevant legal concepts and terminology are defined. Part V includes extracts from applicable legislation. Part VI provides examples of typical planning documents, such as a deed of transfer, a notice of the removal of a restrictive condition or rezoning, and a part of a schedule to a town planning scheme indicating one of the zoning categories.

Strategic choices made by entrepreneurs have major consequences for
SME performance. This book explores the factors that influence
entrepreneurial strategic decisions using a cognitive theoretical
framework. The proposed model, based on a dual processing approach,
integrates motivation, emotions and information processing modes
and is tested in several empirical studies. The results show the
model's potential for furthering interesting research agendas in
entrepreneurial cognition research. The authors also reveal that
entrepreneurial cognitions can be elicited and represented in the
form of cognitive maps. The structural complexity of the cognitive
maps (cognitive complexity) is an important prerequisite of
effective strategic decisions and is a core concept for the
advancement of our knowledge in entrepreneurial cognition. The book
is an informed and interesting exploration of entrepreneurial
cognition with both theoretical and methodological contributions to
this field of research. Entrepreneurial Strategic Decision-Making
will be of great interest to undergraduate students and academics
in the field of entrepreneurship. Policymakers will learn from this
book to understand the distinctions between various types of
entrepreneurial decision-makers and the way they make strategic
decisions.

This book, written by three generations of rankings academics with
considerable experience from three very different regions of the
globe, lifts the lid on the real impact of higher education ranking
systems (HERS) on universities and their stakeholders. It
critically analyses the criteria that make up the 'Big Three'
global ranking systems and, using interviews with senior
administrators, academics and managers, discusses their impact on
universities from four very different continents. Higher education
continues to be dominated by a reputational hierarchy of
institutions that sustains and is reinforced by HERS. Despite all
the opinions and arguments about the legitimacy of the rankings as
a construct, it seems experts agree that they are here to stay. The
question, therefore, seems to be less about whether or not
universities should be compared and ranked, but the manner in which
this is undertaken. Delivering a fresh perspective on global
rankings, this book summarizes the development of HERS and provides
a critical evaluation of the effects of HERS on four different
major regions - South Africa, the Arab region, South East Asia, and
Australia. It will appeal to any academic, student, university
administrator or governing body interested in or affected by global
higher education ranking systems.
Platinum Bible of the Public Toilet is the first English-language
collection of short stories by Cui Zi’en, China’s most famous
and controversial queer filmmaker, writer, scholar, and LGBTQ
rights activist. Drawing on his own experiences growing up in
socialist and postsocialist China, Cui presents ten queer
coming-of-age stories of young boys and men as they explore their
sexuality and desires. From a surreal fairytale depicting a ragtag
crew of neighborhood boys in the throes of sexual awakening to a
chronicle of the gender-bending and homoerotic entanglements of
university students to romantic love triangle erotica to a story
that examines teacher-student love and the norms of sex and age,
Cui centers queer sexuality as a core part of human experience.
Richly imaginative and vividly written, Platinum Bible of the
Public Toilet portrays the emergence of queer cultures in
postsocialist China while foregrounding the commitments to one’s
erotic and passionate attractions even as they lead to cultural
transgressions. This volume includes a foreword by and an interview
with the author.
With Chinese art forms gaining notoriety worldwide, it is only
natural for there to be an uptick in interest in Chinese classical
music. The expanding market in Chinese classical music, as well as
the growing fame of Chinese composers, pave way for a new lucrative
career in Mandarin-language vocalism. Singing in Mandarin: A Guide
to Chinese Lyric Diction is a comprehensive guide to mastering
vocal repertoire in Mandarin. In part one, Katherine Chu and Juliet
Petrus focus on diction and language, providing detailed
descriptions on how to create the exact sounds and pronunciations
through International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and 'Pinyin'. Part
two outlines the historical context of Mandarin vocal tradition,
chronicling the development of the language and Chinese vocal
repertoire over the last 100 years. Audio files narrated by native
speakers demonstrating the sounds are also included. Singing in
Mandarin provides guidance for both novices and those with previous
experience singing or speaking in Mandarin and is the first book of
its kind to help bring the rich, previously inaccessible heritage
of Chinese vocal music to Western audiences.
The Story of One Tells the Struggle of All: Metalworkers under
Apartheid is the third volume in the Hidden Voices Series. It is
comprised of two booklets first published under Raven Press’s
Worker Series which aims to tell the lived experiences of workers
during apartheid. “I work here in Boksburg but my spirit is in
Mahlabatini.
My spirit is there because I come from the countryside. I was born
there and my father was born there.” Thus begins the story of
Mandlenkosi Makhoba. In The Sun Shall Rise for the Workers, he
tells the story of a man from the rurals who comes to Gauteng
hoping for work and a better life. He tells of alienation from
one’s family, of the unfair treatment from factory “bosses” and his
hopes for a more humane life for the worker.
“When you are out of a job, you realise that the boss and the
government have the power to condemn you to death. If they send you
back home … and you realise that you can’t get any new job, it’s a
death sentence.
The countryside is pushing you into the cities to survive, the
cities are pushing you into the countryside to die. You get scared.
It’s a fear that you come to know after a week without any food.”
This is the impasse that workers still find themselves in. In his
autobiography, My Life Struggle, Petrus Tom tells the story of his
life and work in the Vaal Triangle, first as a metalworker in a
cable factory and later as a full-time union organiser.
Extraordinarily detailed and intensely political, it covers wide
swathes of ground – family history, forced removals, the 1960
anti-pass campaign, the South African Congress of Trade Unions
(SACTU), workplace organisation and conflict, internal trade union
politics, youth-led community struggles, racial conflict, the
formation of the Federation of South African Trade Unions (FOSATU),
worker education and much more.
This is indeed an extraordinary record of events woven together in
one life and yet emblematic of lives shared by so many South
Africans who have lived through these times.
Despite the passing of over thirty years since they were first
published, the stories of Mandlenkosi Makhoba and Petrus Tom
continue to be relevant as they point to the ongoing struggle
against exploitation and oppression which continues across the
globe today. Both draw attention to the experiences of the working
class that continue to be disregarded until they make life
inconvenient for the middle and upper class.
