Listening to Literature
0R300,00OI think Listening to Literature promises to be a major contribution towards a clearer understanding of our literature as seen and understood from within its dynamic cultural context. It has the potential of being a rare and crucial intervention in the development of literature and literary criticism in South Africa. That also applies to the illuminating of points of intersection of, and interaction between literary art and aspects of other forms of artistic expression.O

Living between Science and Belief
0R270,00Most thoughtful people live in an interregnum between science and religion. Traditional religious answers concerning the beginning, purpose, and end of life are questioned by the natural sciences, with neuroscience conceivably constituting the last frontier where skeptics and believers explore common ground. The question concerns the nature of reflective and creative moments in life. Can these be reduced to the intersect between the nerve cells and molecules of the physical brain? Does this account for the human sense of mystery, or even spirituality? Is there a nexus between the physical and unknown dimensions of existence? The mutation in the history of theism suggest that progressive theology in the West may be set for a further change.E

Living with Dignity
0R450,00By addressing gender equality as a fundamental expression of human dignity and justice on our continent, this collage of ? essays [by 14 women and 6 men], is meant to serve as a concrete alternative to aspects of gender inequality ? Its format is particularly devised for use in the classroom, and for critical-constructive group engagement.

Living with Little Monsters
0R350,00The tragic coronavirus pandemic of 2020-2022 opened the worldOs eyes anew to the urgent need for a better understanding of microorganisms, whether viruses or bacteria, in order to develop best practices for reducing the risk of dangerous infections. Ideally, every household should have sufficient knowledge of how viruses and other kinds of microorganisms can damage human and animal health. Now, with exquisite timing, Prof Pieter Gouws at the Centre for Food Safety (CFS), in the Department of Food Science at Stellenbosch University, and food scientist Dr Michaela van den Honert, have collaborated on a scientific household guide for Oliving with little monstersO, introducing the reader to an array of potentially harmful microorganisms. Nor have the authors neglected the bacteria which play a positive role, for example, in the human gut. They have gathered the latest scientific evidence for an extensive set of descriptions of specific microbes to watch out for and how best to minimise the risk of being infected by them. By so doing, they can empower ordinary consumers, along with their families, to live healthier, less risky, daily lives.

Local Government Finance
0R265,00Local Government Financedoes not follow the conventional operational approach to local government finance which typically focuses on issues such as revenue collection, budgeting, performance auditing and accounting, and debt administration. Instead, it offers a broader systemic and multi-level perspective by assessing the governance model of local government finance. For this purpose, the authors compare and contrast the South African model with the international experience. The publication thus makes a significant contribution to analysts and scholars in their sense-making and knowledge production endeavours in this field.

Maggie Laubser – ‘n Venster op Altyd Lig
0R670,00Alhoewel sy vandag onthou word as een van die land se beroemdste en geliefdste kunstenaars, het die moderne en unieke styl van Maggie Laubser aanvanklik veel meer kritiek as erkenning gelok. Met ‘n unieke invalshoek en fokus op haar 149 skilderye wat sedert haar heengaan in 1973 in die Universiteit Stellenbosch se kunsversameling opgeneem is, bring ‘n Venster op Altyd Lig hulde aan en neem lesers op ‘n reis deur die lewe en werke van ‘n selfekspressionistiese kunstenaar deur wie die Suid-Afrikaanse kunsgeskiedenis sonder twyfel aansienlik verryk is.
