Cultural Relations between Switzerland
and Apartheid South Africa

Cultural Relations between Switzerland and Apartheid South Africa

This book addresses the critical issue of empowering disabled people and enhancing their wellbeing through inclusive, innovative, and value-sensitive assistive technology. Assistive technology is particularly relevant today for a large share of the world's population; approximately two billion individuals who need assistive technology have no sustainable access to it. Access to assistive technology can help prevent and overcome disability-related disadvantages, empowering individuals to engage socially and economically in activities of their choice, making it possible for them to enjoy a fulfilling life. Emphasis is placed on integrating digital solutions with traditional approaches to advance the development and delivery of assistive technology. In contrast, digital assistive technology is not a panacea; innovative assistive technology interventions wield the possibility of new solutions to existing or emerging challenges in the assistive technology space. They can be particularly powerful in low-resource settings, which are currently problematic in matching demand with effective solutions. This book is intended mainly for academic, professional, and educational purposes. The content herein reflects research-based insights, cultural perspectives, and lived experiences related to disability empowerment and assistive technologies.

Advancing Disability Empowerment Through Assistive Technology

In today's complex and uncertain world, urban and territorial resilience is vital. From natural and human-made disasters to climate change and globalization, cities and regions face challenges that demand preparedness, adaptability, and transformability, i.e., the capacity to absorb shocks. As social-ecological and complex adaptive systems, they must strengthen their ability to respond and transform. Cultural heritage is increasingly recognized as a territorial asset that enhances resilience by providing identity, tangible resources, and historical knowledge useful for risk prevention and management. In the 21st century, heritage-whether underwater, rural, or embedded in urban space -is seen not as a remnant of the past but as a living system and a source of identity, creativity, economic innovation, cohesion, and environmental sustainability. This Reprint responds to the need to rethink the role of heritage in building resilience by assembling twelve articles that examine its activation across diverse geographic contexts (marine, urban, rural, etc.). The contributions converge on a pivotal argument: heritage must shift from a preservation-focused paradigm to one of active contribution, becoming a strategic asset within place-based development and a driver of new economic activities and innovation. The papers span the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe and address varied forms of heritage, including maritime and underwater cultural heritage, architectural ensembles, vernacular landscapes, traditional practices, and cultural-creative industries.

En un mundo marcado por la incertidumbre y el cambio constante, La flexibilidad del ser humano: Sociología de la felicidad y la inteligencia propone una reflexión profunda sobre una de las capacidades más determinantes de nuestra especie: la habilidad de adaptarnos, transformarnos y reconstruirnos frente a nuevas realidades.
Desde una perspectiva sociológica y humanista, la obra analiza cómo la felicidad y la inteligencia no son cualidades aisladas ni estáticas, sino procesos dinámicos que se desarrollan a partir de nuestra relación con el entorno, la cultura, la educación y nuestras propias decisiones. El autor plantea que la grandeza humana radica precisamente en esa capacidad de cambio consciente: en la posibilidad de cuestionar, aprender, evolucionar y reconfigurar nuestra manera de pensar.
El libro invita al lector a comprender que la flexibilidad no es debilidad, sino fortaleza; que adaptarse no significa rendirse, sino crecer; y que la felicidad no es un destino fijo, sino una construcción social y personal que requiere inteligencia emocional, reflexión crítica y apertura al cambio.
Una obra para quienes desean entender mejor la condición humana y desarrollar una visión más consciente, adaptable y profunda frente a la vida.

Studies in Private International Law

This groundbreaking book offers an in-depth exploration of the complex and evolving landscape of the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments across Africa. Covering more than 26 jurisdictions, it spans a remarkable diversity of linguistic traditions (including English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese), religious contexts (such as Christian-majority and Muslim-majority countries), and legal systems (ranging from common law and civil law to mixed jurisdictions). As the first comprehensive study of its kind, the book examines national procedures, legal regimes, and institutional frameworks, combining theoretical insights with practical analysis. It sheds light on the multifaceted challenges that arise in cross-border civil and commercial litigation and reflects on the prospects for legal harmonization and reform within the continent. Drawing on the most up-to-date case law and legislative developments, both domestic and regional, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to understanding the mechanisms-current and emerging-that govern the movement of judgments across African borders. A practical guide and indispensable reference for practitioners, academics, judges, students, and policy makers alike, this invaluable book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of foreign judgments recognition and enforcement in Africa, with all its intricacies and complexities.

Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Africa

Getting Over Obstacles by Lennox Carty is a powerful and deeply personal collection of poems that shines a light on the everyday experiences of people living with disabilities. Through honest reflections, vivid imagery, and thoughtful storytelling, the author explores the physical, emotional and social challenges that many disabled people encounter in their daily lives.
Drawing on lived experience and observation, the poems address themes such as accessibility, independence, resilience, and the attitudes society often holds towards disability. From navigating uneven pavements and inaccessible public transport to confronting prejudice and misunderstanding, the collection highlights the obstacles that can make everyday life more difficult for wheelchair users and others with disabilities.
At the same time, Getting Over Obstacles is a book about strength, determination and hope. The poems celebrate perseverance, personal growth, and the importance of inclusion. They remind readers that disability should not define a person's potential, and that a more accessible and understanding society benefits everyone.
What makes this collection particularly striking is the combination of poetry and powerful photographic imagery. The images throughout the book visually document many of the real-world barriers discussed in the poems, reinforcing the message and giving readers a deeper insight into the realities faced by disabled people.
This thought-provoking and inspiring book invites readers to reflect on how communities, institutions and individuals can work together to remove barriers and create a more inclusive world. Getting Over Obstacles will resonate with anyone interested in disability awareness, social justice, and the resilience of the human spirit.

For generations, the dominant narrative about Black America has been shaped by struggle, limitation, and despair. But what if that narrative is incomplete? What if the future holds a far more powerful and hopeful story waiting to unfold?

In Why The Future Belongs To Us, author and Human Potential Architect Michael Taylor presents a bold and inspiring vision for what lies ahead. Rather than focusing on the challenges of the past, Taylor explores the emerging opportunities, cultural shifts, and transformative possibilities that are positioning Black America for unprecedented growth, influence, and impact.

Through ten compelling reasons, Taylor challenges long-held assumptions and invites readers to see the future through a new lens-one grounded in resilience, innovation, spiritual awakening, and collective empowerment. Drawing from history, personal insight, and a deep belief in human potential, he argues that the next chapter of Black America's story can be one of leadership, creativity, unity, and prosperity.

This is not a book about denying past struggles. It is a book about recognizing the extraordinary strength that has always existed within the Black community and the powerful role that strength will play in shaping the future.

Hopeful, thought-provoking, and deeply empowering, Why The Future Belongs To Us offers a refreshing and uplifting perspective for anyone who believes that the best days for Black America-and for humanity-are still ahead.

A Vision of Hope, Healing and Unlimited Possibility For Black America

Why The Future Belongs To Us

Most leadership books tell you what great leaders do.
This one tells you why it works-and why most change efforts don't.
Somewhere between 60 and 70 percent of organizational change initiatives fail. Not because the strategy was wrong. Not because the leaders weren't committed. But because the people responsible for leading change didn't understand the one thing that determines whether transformation sticks or collapses:
Human beings resist change for predictable, neurological reasons-and most leaders are fighting those reasons instead of working with them.
The Science of Leadership Transformation is the book that changes how you lead change. Drawing on more than sixty years of peer-reviewed research in neuroscience, behavioral economics, organizational psychology, and social science, it gives leaders the evidence-based framework that separates the 30 percent of transformations that succeed from the 70 percent that don't.
This is not motivational content dressed up as research. Every claim is sourced. Every finding is accurately represented. And the implications are specific enough to change what you do on Monday morning.
Here is what the research actually shows:
The single biggest driver of team engagement is not culture programs, compensation, or leadership vision-it's the immediate manager. Gallup's data from thirty million employees across 195 countries shows managers explain the majority of why some teams are deeply engaged and others are not.
Change doesn't spread uniformly. It moves through populations in a mathematically predictable sequence-and research shows that genuine commitment from just 25 percent of the relevant population is sufficient to tip an entire organizational culture, rapidly and permanently.
The human brain processes organizational change as physical danger. The same neural circuits that evolved to protect us from predators activate when roles shift, hierarchies change, or certainty disappears. Leaders who understand the five specific threat triggers-and how to address them-produce measurably better outcomes than those who don't.
Culture is not values on a wall. It is the aggregate of habitual behaviors that people enact automatically. Changing culture means changing habits-and habits live in a part of the brain that willpower cannot reliably override.
Transformational leadership produces effects roughly double those of management by reward and consequence-across every outcome studied in one of the most cited meta-analyses in organizational psychology.
Twenty-one chapters. Sixty years of research. One integrated framework.
You will learn the mathematics of how change spreads and how many committed people it takes to make it inevitable. You will understand the psychology of why people resist even beneficial change-and what actually moves them. You will have the neuroscience of threat response, habit formation, flow states, and psychological safety explained in terms specific enough to act on. And you will see how engagement, tribal culture, participation, and organizational measurement work together as the foundation that either sustains or undermines everything else.
Ideal for: Executives, senior leaders, managers, change agents, MBA students, organizational development professionals, and anyone who has ever led a transformation and wondered why it was harder than it should have been.
