The Anti-Atlas, by Morocco Rock, is the latest selected climbs
guide to Morocco's winter sun trad climbing destination, featuring
the very best routes to be found in the region around the busy
market town of Tafraout, and only a couple of hours from Agadir
airport. This revised and updated guide documents a colossal 1700
routes on over 100 crags, including many new developments in this,
now established, quartzite paradise. The book features new cliffs
in the mighty Amaghouz Gorge on the western fringes, as well as new
discoveries in every major area throughout the guide, and also
includes the granite boulders and outcrops around Tafraout, which
have a mixture of trad and sport climbing. The area should appeal
to all climbers with a sense of adventure, and especially to those
wanting to experience a change of culture, and it is already
becoming an extremely popular destination worldwide. Modern,
colourful topos and inspiring action photography compliment the
user-friendly maps and crag table, facilitating swift and easy crag
and route choice. There are now 9 major areas to choose from,
including a selection of varied length walks at the end of each
section, to keep any stalwarts entertained on a `rest day'. No
adverts also mean that this guidebook is packed full of information
from cover to cover, including state of the art smartphone
navigation to the parking spots via satellite co-ordination. The
beautiful and rugged mountain terrain is surprisingly quick and
easy to access, many of the cliffs within twenty minutes walk from
the road, giving much of the climbing here a distinctly `cragging'
feel, akin to that to be found in many areas of the UK. There is
everything in this guide, from big mountain days on multi pitch
routes, to roadside single pitch cragging, predominantly on
perfect, sun-baked, golden quartzite. The fantastic eastern culture
and warm winter sunshine, from September right through to May,
together with the diversity of extraordinary adventures to be had,
make this area a very special place in which to climb.

Labour focuses on the issues and problems concerning the efficient
full employment of labour in a free market economy. The discussion
is largely about the conditions (including comparative wages)
underlying industrial efficiency and maximum production from
various labour resources at least cost. By estimating man-power,
analysing the human factor and measuring labour efficiency, the
book summarizes contemporary evidence on employment conditions for
or against efficiency and the effect upon the incidence of
unemployment.
Based upon lectures presented at an invitational colloquium in
honor of Nico Frijda, this collection of essays represents a brief
and up-to-date overview of the field of emotions, their
significance and how they function. For most, emotions are simply
what we feel, giving our lives affective value. Scientists approach
emotions differently -- some considering the "feeling" aspect to be
of little relevance to their research questions. Some investigators
consider emotions from a phenomenological perspective, while others
believe that the psychophysiological bases of the emotions are of
prime importance, and still others observe and study animals in
order to generate hypotheses about human emotions. Containing
essays which represent each of these approaches, this book is in
one sense a heterogenous collection. Nevertheless, the variety of
approaches and interests come together, since these scholars are
all operating from a more or less cognitive psychological
orientation and use the same conceptual reference scheme. Written
by experts in their own area, the essays reflect the richness of
research in emotions. Whether these approaches and opinions can be
harmonized into a single theory of emotions is a question which the
future will have to answer.
This is the story of the world’s biggest unprosecuted fraud. A fraud that in today’s terms amounts to R26 billion.
The cast is stellar: top financial institutions, leading bankers, a world where every other player is a lawyer, a world where Brett Kebble was king. This is a world of outright denial and selective amnesia, of complex financial transactions designed to confuse, obfuscate and hide the spoils. This is a world of dirty dealings across the upper strata of the socio-political system.
Barry Sergeant, hard-hitting, bestselling author of Brett Kebble: The Inside Story, now tackles the murky world of shady financial dealings, post the Kebble murder. A frightening world, where whistle-blowers have to watch their backs. A world where so many major players are involved to such an extent that none of them can afford the cost of the truth. This is a major work that relies on painstaking details and many years of preparation. It is ultimately about unravelling one of the world’s biggest cover-ups.

This book examines the relationship that exists between fantasy
cinema and the medium of animation. Animation has played a key role
in defining our collective expectations and experiences of fantasy
cinema, just as fantasy storytelling has often served as
inspiration for our most popular animated film and television.
Bringing together contributions from world-renowned film and media
scholars, Fantasy/Animation considers the various historical,
theoretical, and cultural ramifications of the animated fantasy
film. This collection provides a range of chapters on subjects
including Disney, Pixar, and Studio Ghibli, filmmakers such as
Ralph Bakshi and James Cameron, and on film and television
franchises such as Dreamworks' How To Train Your Dragon (2010-) and
HBO's Game of Thrones (2011-).
Amy Sargeant's compelling and meticulous study of Joseph Losey's
The Servant (1963) sets the film in the context of a long tradition
of fictional depictions of the master-servant relationship, from
Shakespeare to Cervantes, Henry James, Dorothy L. Sayers and P.G.
Wodehouse. Sargeant points out that while many of these
relationships are played for comic effect, that of the 'young
master' Tony (James Fox) and his manservant Barrett (Dirk Bogarde)
unfolds in a far more sinister manner, with Barrett coming to
dominate and humiliate the hapless Tony. Sargeant's reading pays
particular attention to the contribution not only of Losey and
Harold Pinter, who adapted the screenplay from Robin Maugham's
novella, but also of the cinematographer Douglas Slocombe, designer
Richard Macdonald and costume designer Beatrice 'Bumble' Dawson.
She analyses the performances of Sarah Miles as Barrett's lover
Vera and Wendy Craig as Tony's fiancee Susan, as well as those of
Fox and Bogarde, and gives careful consideration to how the film
uses architectural form, interior design and decoration, and
clothing to establish character and relationships. In the context
of the collapse of the British Empire, and a beleaguered
Establishment beset by spy and sex scandals, the film can be read,
Sargeant argues, as a metaphor for the 'state of the nation' in the
early 1960s. Finally, Sargeant considers the film's critical and
commercial reception in Britain, Europe and the United States - its
release, how it was received as one of a number of 'emigre' films,
and Losey's surprising denial of a homoerotic intent in the
Tony-Barrett relationship. In her new foreword to this edition, Amy
Sargeant considers contemporary resonances of the film's depiction
of a twisted master-servant relationship in recent TV and cinema
including The Crown, Downton Abbey and The Trial of Christine
Keeler.

Originally published in 1929. This balanced combination of
fieldwork, statistical measurement, and realistic applications
shows a synthesis of economics and political science in a
conception of an organic relationship between the two sciences that
involves functional analysis, institutional interpretation, and a
more workmanlike approach to questions of organization such as
division of labour and the control of industry. The treatise
applies the test of fact through statistical analysis to economic
and political theories for the quantitative and institutional
approach in solving social and industrial problems. It constructs a
framework of concepts, combining both economic and political
theory, to systematically produce an original statement in general
terms of the principles and methods for statistical fieldwork. The
separation into Parts allows selective reading for the methods of
statistical measurement; the principles and fallacies of applying
these measures to economic and political fields; and the resultant
construction of a statistical economics and politics. Basic
statistical concepts are described for application, with each
method of statistical measurement illustrated with instances
relevant to the economic and political theory discussed and a
statistical glossary is included.
Summarizing the facts about the prevailing sizes of industrial
firms or plants and the patterns of industrial location in Britain
and America, this book also interprets the facts in basic terms
such as technical requirements and consumer habits. Examining
investment and human resource management, the contrasts and
(unexpected) similarities in the industrial structure and
government of the two countries are analysed. The book includes new
research into the real seat of power in the British joint stock
company and compares the results with the realities of the American
corporation.
Covering issues as pertinent today as when the book was first
published, The Logic of Industrial Organization discusses key
themes in industrial relations, manufacturing, employment and
investment and education for business administration. The book
contains chapters on the following: The Structure of Industry; The
Efficiency of Large-Scale Operation; Planned and Free Consumption;
Forecasting and Market Research; Competition; Rationalization and
Nationalization; Investment and Employment; Incentives to Work and
Mobility; Stimulus to Enterprise and Administration.
In this practical workbook, Jerry Sargeant offers advanced tools,
exercises, meditations, and protocols to not only tap into the vast
potential of living in 5D but also become a conduit for raising
collective consciousness for the planet. He shows how to dissolve
your individual chakras and create one unified Heart Field as well
as how to connect the transmission centers in your body with star
systems and your advanced Merkaba field for 12-strand DNA
activation. Exploring subatomic healing, Jerry provides a Star
Magic Qi Gong sequence to clear, connect, and energize the body,
allowing it to recalibrate and self-heal. He explains how to
activate the pineal gland through the Merkaba Matrix, uniting star
frequencies from Sirius with Earth's energy from the planetary
grids, which leads to activation of your 5D Light Body. Once your
mind and body are prepared, Jerry explains how to work with the
toroidal field and the Star Magic clearing pyramids as well as your
unified Heart Field and activated pineal gland. He provides
protocols to further upgrade your consciousness--such as a
trauma-healing meditation--alongside multiple light code
activations. Exploring how to build your spiritual armor, Jerry
shares protection tools to ward off psychic attacks, teaches how to
remove implants and electromagnetic webbing, and explains how to
create an electromagnetic heart transducer shield to protect
against high radiation, including 5G. He also looks at spiritual
nutrition, breathing and meditation techniques, and how to harness
sexual energy. Offering a transformational guide to expanding your
consciousness and raising your vibration, this book explains how to
become the architect of your own reality and reprogram yourself to
thrive in the 5th dimension.

How does music manifest through time and, simultaneously, how does
time manifest through music? For the experimental psychologist, the
experience of time during music listening or performance is
something that may be studied empirically. For philosophers,
fundamental questions of time continue to be the subject of ongoing
debate in philosophy: is time linear? What are past, present and
future? What is duration and what makes a perceptual present, or
moment? For the performer, musical time can exist as a subjective
vehicle of expression. Although any of the three could be chosen as
a starting point, the order presented in the text's structure
offers a journey from empiricism to application, via contemplation.
This volume deals with the complex relationship between music and
time. It presents a staunchly interdisciplinary perspective defined
by the terms Psychology, Philosophy and Practice. The text is
divided into sections concerning "experience", "enactment" and
"meaning", as points of intersection between the three primary
methodologies of the title. As such, this is a book for the
scholar, the student of music, and the interested reader. For the
scholar, it offers new interconnections and comparisons. For the
student, its pluralistic approach presents the most comprehensive
overview available to date regarding the topic. For the interested
reader, the volume offers answers to questions which concern us as
listeners and audiences at concerts, gigs, and festivals.

Age Discrimination looks at how both young and old can be penalised
by prejudice against their age group. Following recent changes in
the law, the issue of age discrimination has come to the fore. The
new legislation will extend legal oversight of age-related
discrimination to the provision of facilities, goods and services,
as well as employment. Professor Sargeant provides a thorough
review of the consequences of these changes and their implications
for businesses and service providers, public or private. This
comprehensive new book, like its predecessor Age Discrimination in
Employment, is essential to practitioners responsible for HR
issues, finance, operations, service delivery, quality and customer
relations, and for those with a policy focus or academic interest
in diversity issues.
