Amid a growing ‘turn’ towards Southern cities, South African urban geographers continue to remind us why and how to attend to local context and draw on theory from elsewhere. Human Geographies of Stellenbosch: Transforming Space, Preserving Place? (edited by Ronnie Donaldson) provides a deep look at crucial questions facing one of South Africa’s most well-known town-cities. Written from years of local knowledge by scholars at Stellenbosch University, this volume asks what urban transformation means, who it is for, and the politically tantalising question of whether and how we might hold on to some of the old while aspiring towards the new? In a global context in which we are all searching for how to justly remember our messy past, how to decolonise and hold onto what makes places unique, this volume will be of interest to scholars asking such questions in and beyond urban studies.
This report provides the first comprehensive study of publically capitalised green investment banks (GIBs), analysing the rationales, mandates and financing activities of this relatively new category of public financial institution that aims to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy.

We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine "Women in Cardiovascular Epidemiology and Prevention” series of article collections. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of basic and clinical cardiovascular medicine. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of cardiovascular epidemiology and prevention research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.

’n Funky agentskap wat partytjies reël, fantastiese klere ontwerp en modewenke gee. Talia, Didi en Linka besluit dit is presies wat die skool nodig het.
Talia, Didi en Lienka is al van kleuterskooldae af beste vriendinne. Noudat hulle in graad tien is, weet hulle presies wat die skool nodig het: ’n funky agentskap wat partytjies reël, fantastiese klere ontwerp en modewenke gee. Maar as jy in graad tien is, is dit nie kinderspeletjies om almal te oorreed om jou ernstig op te neem nie. Tussen die agentskap, meisies wat vasbeslote is om die Glam-divas se lewens te versuur en seuns wat hulle knieë lam maak, is daar nooit ’n vervelige oomblik nie. Lees nou al drie hierdie geliefde verhale saam in een lekkerlees-omnibus.
