International Law in Namibia
(2019)
This book provides readers with the knowledge necessary to fully understand how international law carved the history and life of Namibia. It observes that Namibia has benefited from and contributed to international law in a way that shaped that countrys political and socio-economic development and to an extent that few other countries experienced. For many a year since Namibia achieved Independence on 21 March 1990 and established the Faculty of Law at the University of Namibia in 1992, students and lecturers have relied on materials from South Africa, despite the fact that Namibian law has since then grown apart from its South African heritage. It is high time for lecturers and students in Namibia to teach and learn with a textbook that analyses international law from the distinct standpoint of Namibia and that views the nations legal interactions with other states through its own prism! And this textbook aims to do just that. Through its 19 chapters, this book informs readers about international law, its sources, international treaties, Namibian statehood, dispute resolution, the use of force, human rights, Namibias economic relations with the outside world (including the Southern African Customs Union), and the law of the sea. Namibian courts have in their own way followed the rules of international law scrupulously, but as this book shows international law nonetheless remains the source of Namibian law that lawyers apply the least. Accordingly, this book underlines the significance, the practical utility, and the relevance of international law in the unique Namibian context.
White Masks
(2019)
This collection of poetry both reflects and creates attitudes that we now regard as characteristic of our age - the crisis of nationhood and the burden of citizenship. Abi Yeibo's White Masks unambiguously exposes the dystopian nightmares of a nation and a people's willing detachment from humanity. While some poets of his generation are content with dreaming of an ideal world, in White Masks, Yeibo, through the resources of memory, experiments with the idea of a better world - Professor Ogaga Okuyade, Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, Nigeria.
State and Society in Nigeria
(2019)
The first edition of State and Society in Nigeria, published in 1980, was and remains a dominant influence in teaching, research, policy and practice of state-society relations in Nigeria for more than a generation. The volume of essays has remained one of the most cited in the field ? testimony to its enduring content and perspective as well as the beauty, accessibility and clarity of its language. This new edition revisits, extends and reconsiders aspects of the first edition in light of developments in the literature since 1980 and offers new insights and interpretations on issues of political economy, politics, and sociology such as the country?s Civil War (1967-1970) the political economy of oil, debt, and democratization and the complexities and ethnic identities and rivalries and religious accommodation and conflict, and of the multiple ways in which they intersect with one another.
Two women, one from the Netherlands and the other one from the Free State Goldfields, meet in a hospital hall in Bloemfontein. Fifty years later Hester tells the story of how life formed them as nurses, community workers, bakers, artists and life partners. In this memoir, she tells of the key moments in her life that led her to leave the strictures of her upbringing in order to find out who she was. Her decisions take her from the Free State to District Six and Venda, to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, to Heideveld and Hanover Park and, eventually, to McGregor. Her humble story tells of the spiritual isolation of all 'refugees' who leave the irreversible values of their 'home' (whether physical or ideological) and find new ways to create a life. It also describes the wonder of finding love and a partner along the way.
Dont sit on your stool, watching life go by, insists Soutcho Lydie Touré. In this collection of reflections written over a decade, she explores insecurities and vulnerabilities, with which many a reader will relate. She shares about loneliness and feeling different and goes on to ponder everyday life in Politicking and VDN a memorable highway in Dakar which pedestrians must cross under the mocking smile of the sun. Touré draws on experiences and insights from her life betwixt and between West Africa and North America. In her verses, spiced with nature, color, joy, humor and fantasy, questions and answers compete equally for the readers attention. A veritable source of confidence in the force of life and love. Confidence that makes one grow wings.
Clara Brauner, 1875–1940
(2019)
1875 in Minsk geboren, gehörte Clara Brauner zu den zahlreichen jüdischstämmigen Migranten, die im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts mit ihren Familien oder allein Osteuropa bzw. das Zarenreich aus wirtschaftlichen und politischen Gründen Richtung Westen verließen. Das von zu Hause "mitgenommene" Russisch war dabei Voraussetzung und Grundlage für die übersetzerischen und literaturvermittelnden Aktivitäten, die Clara Brauner, zum Teil gemeinsam mit ihrem Ehemann Alexander Brauner, um die Jahrhundertwende in Wien entfalten konnte.
Die in der vorliegenden Bibliographie in der Rubrik "Übersetzungen in Buchform" enthaltenen Einträge beruhen hauptsächlich auf Recherchen in Bibliothekskatalogen (in erster Linie im DNB-Katalog), in manchen Fällen ergänzt durch Autopsie. Autoptisch ermittelt wurden des Weiteren alle unselbständigen Titel.
Physiologie des Menschen
(2019)
Wir haben mit diesem Lehrbuch eine Brücke zwischen den "dicken Wälzern", die viele Dozenten empfehlen, und den Kurzlehrbüchern, die bei Studenten so beliebt sind, geschlagen. Physiologie ist ein Fach, das man verstehen muss. Denn gerade in mündlichen Prüfungen und im Physikum werden Transferleistungen eingefordert, die sich durch reines Auswendiglernen nicht ohne Weiteres lösen lassen. Im Gegensatz zu Kurzlehrbüchern findest du bei uns mehr Erklärungen, die dir beim Verständnis der Zusammenhänge helfen. Damit unser Buch nicht zu dick und unübersichtlich wird, haben wir all den Ballast, den du in den "dicken Wälzern" findest, weggelassen. Das hilft dir, dich auf die wichtigen Dinge zu konzentrieren. Diese wichtigen Dinge erklären wir dafür ausführlicher. Unser Buch ist daher der ideale Begleiter für die vorklinischen Semester, weil alle relevanten Themenkomplexe einfach und verständlich erklärt werden. Je nach Universität kann es natürlich vorkommen, dass speziellere Themen gelehrt werden, die nicht unbedingt dem Lernzielkatalog entsprechen. Diese Themen sind in unserem Buch unter Umständen nicht oder nur knapp erwähnt. Wir empfehlen dir deshalb, die Vorlesungen deiner Universität zu besuchen, damit du genau weißt, worauf deine Dozenten wert legen. ...
Words That Matter
(2019)
Words That Matter attempts to spark conversation around social issues that are often neglected either for their lack of beauty or sheer rigidity. These issues are mainly cultural and political. It further seeks to community hope in its purest form, unfailing and evermore willingly to rewrite situations brightly however dark initially. Find thusly sarcasm and humour, folly and wisdom, discord and harmony, and death and life, all interwoven in revealing just how sound existence can be (or should be henceforth). Above all, get lost and find new paths in these verses!
