The Responsive University and the Crisis in South Africa

The soul of a university
What is the role of a university in society? In this innovative book, Chris Brink offers the timely reminder that it should have social purpose, as well as achieve academic excellence.

Back from the Brink: Rebellious Youth, Skinhead & Addict
Chris Killen appeared to be a normal teenager -- but he wasn't. He was experimenting with drugs. Soon he had left home, become a skinhead, a gang member, and a drug addict.

In all his travels, he carried around his little Gideon New Testament, which he read when nobody was looking. This book tells how God gave Chris a new life in Christ and a new challenge on earth.

Perfect Exterior Staining
Finally, a comprehensive book devoted exclusively to the art of exterior staining. In Perfect Exterior Staining, veteran author and home improvement expert Tom Philbin shows do-it-yourselfers and professionals why and how to stain and restain exterior wood. Often exterior stain is more commonly used than exterior paint. It is the only practical way to protect certain exterior woods and add beauty and years of life. It is the preferred coating for decks and for many types of outdoor furniture, fencing, and siding. Stains are currently available in a wide range of colors, from natural shades that enhance the grain of the wood to solid colors of every hue. This book will take you step-by-step through the staining process, from preparing the surface through perfect application. Book jacket.
A Paradigm for Program Semantics
This book provides a synthesis of four versions of program semantic--srelational semantics, predicate transformer semantics, information systems, and domain theory--showing, through an exhaustive case study analysis, that it is possible to do back-and-forth translation from any of these versions of program semantics into any of the others, and demonstrating that while there are many variations of each, in principle they may be thought of as intertranslatable.
Ancestral North
