Lebogang Seale has written a personal and poignant account of the impact of South Africa’s failing and flailing land reform policy on ordinary people desperate for restorative justice.
One Hundred Years of Dispossession shows not only that land reform in South Africa is a criminal failure and monumental disappointment, but more than that, it is a betrayal that punishes the affected communities whose quest for justice remains denied.

As the links between health and food additives come under
increasing scrutiny, there is a growing demand for food containing
natural rather than synthetic additives and ingredients. Natural
food additives, ingredients and flavourings reviews the legislative
issues relating to natural food additives and ingredients, the
range of natural food additives and ingredients, and their
applications in different product sectors.
After an exploration of what the term natural means in the context
of food ingredients, part one focuses on natural food colourings,
low-calorie sweeteners and flavour enhancers, followed by a
consideration of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials as food
ingredients. The book goes on to review clean label starches and
proteins, the application of natural hydrocolloids as well as
natural aroma chemicals and flavourings from biotechnology and
green chemistry. Part two considers specific applications in
different products. Natural ingredients in savoury food products,
baked goods and alcoholic drinks are examined, as are natural plant
extracts in soft drinks and milk-based food ingredients.
With is distinguished editors and expert team of international
contributors, Natural food additives, ingredients and flavourings
is an invaluable reference tool for all those involved in the
development and production of foods with fewer synthetic additives
and ingredients.

A basic motivation for social and cultural life is the problem of
death. By analysing the experiences of dying and bereaved people,
as well as institutional responses to death, Clive Seale shows its
importance for understanding the place of embodiment in social
life. He draws on a comprehensive review of sociological,
anthropological and historical studies, including his own research,
to demonstrate the great variability that exists in human social
constructions for managing mortality. Far from living in a 'death
denying' society, dying and bereaved people in contemporary culture
are often able to assert membership of an imagined community,
through the narrative reconstruction of personal biography, drawing
on a variety of cultural scripts emanating from medicine,
psychology, the media and other sources. These insights are used to
argue that the maintenance of the human social bond in the face of
death is a continual resurrective practice, permeating everyday
life.
This "wickedly pacey page-turner" (Total Film) unfurls the
behind-the-scenes story of the making of The Godfather, fifty years
after the classic film's original release. The story of how The
Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as
the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects
of the movie's fiery creation have been told--sometimes
conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the
evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis
Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements
them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al
Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others to write "the
definitive look at the making of an American classic" (Library
Journal, starred review). On top of the usual complications of
filmmaking, the creators of The Godfather had to contend with the
real-life members of its subject matter: the Mob. During production
of the movie, location permits were inexplicably revoked, author
Mario Puzo got into a public brawl with an irate Frank Sinatra,
producer Al Ruddy's car was found riddled with bullets, men with
"connections" vied to be in the cast, and some were given film
roles. As Seal notes, this is the tale of a "movie that
revolutionized filmmaking, saved Paramount Pictures, minted a new
generation of movie stars, made its struggling author Mario Puzo
rich and famous, and sparked a war between two of the mightiest
powers in America: the sharks of Hollywood and the highest echelons
of the Mob." "For fans of books about moviemaking, this is a
definite must-read" (Booklist).

All four movies from the action film series directed by George
Miller. 'Mad Max' (1979), set sometime after an apocalyptic war,
depicts a world in which the police have their hands full fighting
roving motorcycle gangs. When the wife and child of cop Max (Mel
Gibson) are murdered by one of the gangs, he sets out to get
revenge. In 'Mad Max 2' (1981), following the road-side slaughter
of his family, ex-cop Max roams the post-apocalyptic landscape
alone. Reluctantly taking a pit-stop at a desert-set fortress, Max
is gradually persuaded to help protect the people inside it and the
commodity that makes it a prime target for marauding gangs - fuel.
In 'Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome' (1985) Max, arriving in Bartertown
in search of some stolen property, has to fight a duel in the
Thunderdome arena. He is exiled to the desert by Bartertown's
ruler, Auntie (Tina Turner), where he is rescued by a community of
feral children. In 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (2015) Max (Tom Hardy) has
been captured by a gang, led by the tyrannical Immortan Joe (Hugh
Keays-Byrne). In order to escape Max teams up with Imperator
Furiosa (Charlize Theron), a woman who wants to travel across the
desert and find her way back home. But, after liberating five
female captives from Joe's clutches, she too must escape from the
crazy gang leader and his henchmen. Can they make it across the
desert in one piece?

Many accounts of critical pedagogy, particularly accounts of trying
to enact it within higher education (HE), express a deep cynicism
about whether it is possible to counter the ever creeping hegemony
of neo-liberalism, neo- conservatism and new managerialism within
Universities. Hopeful Pedagogies in Higher Education acknowledges
some of these criticisms, but attempts to rescue critical pedagogy,
locating some of its associated pessimism as misreading of Freire
and offering hopeful avenues for new theory and practice. These
misreadings are also located in the present, in the assumption that
unless change comes within the lifetime of the project, it has
somehow failed. Instead, this book argues that a positive
utopianism is possible. Present actions need to be celebrated, and
cultivated as symbols of hope, possibility and generativity for the
future - which the concept of hope implies. The contributors make
the case for celebrating the pedagogies of HE that operate in
liminal spaces – situated in the spaces between the present and
the future (between the world as it is and the world as it could
be) and also in the cracks that are beginning to show in the
dominant discourses.
