The short story – the perfect fit for modern attention spans - is
finally receiving the attention it deserves. It started in 2013,
when Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and Lydia
Davis the Man Booker International Prize. In 2014, both the Mail
& Guardian Literary Festival in Johannesburg and the Open Book
Festival in Cape Town featured panel discussions on short stories.
The literary establishment, it seems, has finally caught up with
readers’ hunger for these contained, miniature worlds. Into this
mix comes the fresh, new voice of South African writer Melissa de
Villiers, with her debut collection, The Chameleon House.In her
finely woven collection of stories – spanning South Africa, London
and Singapore – De Villiers deftly probes the ambiguities of
different kinds of love and empathy as she brings a variety of
people closer together in unexpected ways. There’s the not-quite
twenty-year old journalist, with the world open to her but not
knowing what to do with it, who finds herself at the Baviaan’s
Drift Bugle under the watchful eye of an old acquaintance of her
father’s; an older woman with her young lover, caught in
Johannesburg traffic during ‘load shedding’, the new leveller; and
a young boy who finds a painful intimacy with his mother’s
boyfriend through the beatings he receives from him. And then there
are the four friends sharing a house in London, where the only
thing they have in common is that they have all left home. But do
they really know anything about each other? In her powerfully
condensed, poetic style, De Villiers manages to say a lot with few
words. Often it’s what remains unsaid that tells us the real story.
The Chameleon House is a remarkable debut by a voice to keep both
ears open for. The collection demonstrates that no matter where in
the world we find ourselves, our hearts are never far from home.

In this book, scholars from throughout North America analyze the
North American integration process taking place under NAFTA. While
NAFTA was originally conceived as a trade agreement only, the
contributors argue, there are many other important issues raised by
the agreement that are not being adequately addressed, including
drug-trafficking, endangered species trafficking, labor mobility,
and energy. The book also includes discussions of cultural issues
such as education, Quebec's cultural uniqueness, and California's
Proposition 187.
This book develops tools and techniques that will help urban
residents gain access to urban computing. Metaphorically speaking,
it is taking computing to the street by giving the general public -
rather than just researchers and professionals - the power to
leverage available city infrastructure and create solutions
tailored to their individual needs. It brings together five
articles that are based on presentations given at the Street
Computing Workshop held on 24 November 2009 in Melbourne in
conjunction with the Australian Computer-Human Interaction
conference (OZCHI 2009). This volume focuses on applying urban
informatics, urban and community sensing and open application
programming interfaces (APIs) to the public space through the
delivery of online services, on demand and in real time. It then
offers a case study of how the city of Singapore has harnessed the
potential of an online infrastructure so that residents and
visitors can access services electronically. This book was
published as a special issue of the Journal of Urban Technology.
Bayard Veiller (1869-1943) was an American screenwriter, producer
