Scott on Cession: A Treatise on the Law in South Africa is a
comprehensive exposition of the law of cession. Scott incorporates
aspects of her doctoral thesis (1977), her previous book on
cession, The Law of Cession, (1991) and her articles on cession
that have been published in law journals. The book focuses on case
law, but case law as a source of law in this branch of the law
poses particular problems: some of the earlier decisions, and even
recent ones, are based on Roman-Dutch law, which no longer
completely satisfies current modern needs. To explain certain
idiosyncrasies in the case law, Scott refers to the historical
development of cession as a legal institution. The book also
provides extensive commentary on certain problematic aspects of
cession, using comparable legal systems, and incorporates the
dogmatic foundations of the law of cession.
This collection of essays on feminist perspectives of equity and
trusts is particularly pertinent due to the ongoing legislative
reform of trusts as well as constitutional resettlement and
devolution. While feminist legal scholars have focused in depth
upon many areas of law and the legal system, equity has received
relatively little attention, making this collection a particularly
important contribution. The contributors critically note the
interstices of the development of equity which express its impact
on women and, sometimes, its expression of values associated with
women.
This book focuses upon the problems and solutions encountered by
two primary sets of people involved in the transfer of technical
knowledge: foreign consultants and host country counterparts. It
presents an approach to many of the cross-cultural theories common
to the transfer of knowledge. .
Even though concern about and interest in technology transfer have
existed since the 1950s, it has become of increasing importance to
lesser-developed and developing countries since the 1970s. The
transfer of technology in general, and in particular the transfer
of technical knowledge, lies at the heart of the North-South
debate. There is an abundance of literature on technology transfer
in almost every field of interest--policy, practice, applied case
studies, and general recommendations--but little, if any, of the
information is integrated. It remains widely distributed throughout
the fields of economics, business, rural sociology, and
anthropology. The same may be said for various studies of
consultants as change agents. On the other hand, studies of
counterparts--host country professionals--have been almost entirely
neglected, with the exception of their implied roles as innovators
or acceptors. There have been few attempts to tie practice to
theory, theory to research, or research to practice. This volume
attempts to provide the link between theory, research, and
practice. Based upon research conducted at two large-scale water
resource development projects in Indonesia, it focuses upon the
problems and solutions encountered by two primary sets of people
involved in the transfer of technical knowledge--foreign
consultants and host country counterparts. Dr. Scott-Stevens
presents a unified and applied approach to many of the
cross-cultural theories, issues, and problems common to the
transfer of technical knowledge across cultures.

New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples
through eight must-have conversations to create a fierce love that
stands the test of time and grows stronger over the years. Often in
our romantic relationships, we long for deep connection, but we
don't know how to communicate well and sometimes withhold what
we're really thinking and feeling. This can lead to fighting,
resentment, or, worse, complacency--where you are just going
through the motions, more like roommates than two people in love.
As Susan writes, "It's as if we've pulled off our own wings." As
couples, we don't stop to think how important our conversations
are. And we certainly don't understand that what we talk about and
how we talk about it determine whether our relationships will
thrive, flatline, or fail. In Fierce Love, New York Times
bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight
must-have conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting
commitment. Through the use of true stories and hands-on exercises,
Susan helps us understand that the conversation is the
relationship; identify and dispel five relationship myths that
mislead and derail us; learn eight conversations that are critical
to enriching relationships; and stop fighting or ignoring issues
and start connecting in a deep and meaningful way. After a season
where many relationships were tested and tried, where some
relationships thrived and others have exposed cracks couples didn't
even realize were there, or realized but didn't acknowledge, now is
the best time to learn to communicate well. By having honest,
compelling conversations with our partners, we can foster true
connection and a fierce love that will withstand the test of time
and grow stronger over the years.

The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, which covered nearly thirty
thousand square miles across seven states, was the most destructive
river flood in U.S. history. Due to the speed of new media and the
slow progress of the flood, this was the first environmental
disaster to be experienced on a mass scale. As it moved from north
to south down an environmentally and technologically altered
valley, inundating plantations and displacing more than half a
million people, the flood provoked an intense and lasting cultural
response. The Flood Year 1927 draws from newspapers, radio
broadcasts, political cartoons, vaudeville, blues songs, poetry,
and fiction to show how this event took on public meanings.
Americans at first seemed united in what Herbert Hoover called a
"great relief machine," but deep rifts soon arose. Southerners,
pointing to faulty federal levee design, decried the attack of
Yankee water. The condition of African American evacuees in
"concentration camps" prompted pundits like W.E.B. Du Bois and Ida
B. Wells to warn of the return of slavery to Dixie. And
environmentalists like Gifford Pinchot called the flood "the most
colossal blunder in civilized history." Susan Scott Parrish
examines how these and other key figures--from entertainers Will
Rogers, Miller & Lyles, and Bessie Smith to authors Sterling
Brown, William Faulkner, and Richard Wright--shaped public
awareness and collective memory of the event. The crises of this
period that usually dominate historical accounts are war and
financial collapse, but The Flood Year 1927 enables us to assess
how mediated environmental disasters became central to modern
consciousness.
A richly nuanced cultural history of the Great Mississippi flood
The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river
flood in U.S. history, drowning crops and displacing more than half
a million people across seven states. It was also the first
environmental disaster to be experienced virtually on a mass scale.
The Flood Year 1927 draws from newspapers, radio broadcasts,
political cartoons, vaudeville, blues songs, poetry, and fiction to
show how this event provoked an intense and lasting cultural
response. Americans at first seemed united in what Herbert Hoover
