Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Much has been written about South Africa's 'lost generation' --the generation of politicized youth who dedicated their lives to the liberation of a nation, and who have 'lost' everything in the process. Young Warriors is about this generation, but it is also a critique of the very concept of a 'lost generation.' It is the story of activists who have become leaders, provincial premiers and national ministers in our democratic society. While focusing on the lives of the men and women who lived in Diepkloof, a black 'township' in South Africa, it is also the narrative of many black South Africans who 'grew up' in the organizations of the ANC-led liberation movement.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Elephants are among the most magnificent-but also most problematic-members of South Africas wildlife population. While they are sought after by South African and foreign tourists alike, they also have a major impact on their environment. As a result, elephant management has become a highly complex and often controversial discipline. 'Elephant Management' is the first book of its kind, combining the work of more than 60 national and international experts. Extensively reviewed by policy-makers and other stakeholders, it is the most systematic and comprehensive review of savanna elephant populations and factors relevant to managing them to date. R.J. Scholes is an ecologist at the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), with a special interest in savanna ecosystems. Kathleen G. Mennell is a masters student in the Ecosystem Processes and Dynamics Research Group at the CSIR. She coordinatedthe assessment process and resulting publication.
