South Africa’s energy transition has become a highly topical, emotive and politically contentious topic. Taking a systems perspective, this book offers an evidence-based roadmap for such a transition and debunks many of the myths raised about the risks of a renewable-energy-led electricity mix. Owing to its formidable solar and wind resources, South Africa has an almost unparalleled opportunity to turn solar photovoltaic and onshore wind generators into the country’s power generation workhorses – a role hitherto played by coal. This book shows that a renewables-led mix will not only provide the lowest cost, but will also create more jobs than any of the alternatives currently under consideration. In addition, it offers a glimpse of how South Africa’s low-cost and decarbonised electricity system can power a competitive industrial economy, an electric-mobility revolution and, in the long run, create new export opportunities.This book will be of great interest to energy industry practitioners, as well as students and scholars of energy policy and politics, environmental economics and sustainable development.

The infancy narratives are complex texts that tell us more than one may think about who Jesus is and what relationship we are invited to have with him. The reflections in the book are linked to five themes: Jesus's ancestors; Joseph, son of Jacob, father of Jesus; Mary the prophetess, mother of Jesus; the relationship between Nazareth, Jesus's hometown, and Bethlehem, the place of his birth. Finally, the fifth reflection focuses directly on Jesus himself and the moment of his birth.A careful reading of the biblical texts allows the reader to fully discover the relationship between God and the human person. Through understanding the plots, characters, and places described in the Bible, readers can uncover the meaning of the Scriptures for their life, beyond simply explaining the literal meaning of the text.A Child Born for Us is a guide for the reader, individual, or group seeking to deepen their understanding of the Gospel narratives of the infancy of Jesus.Rev.

He has been teaching scripture for twenty-five years in the Latin Patriarchal Seminary and in other institutions of higher learning. He spends a few months each year teaching at the Jesuit Institute of South Africa.Terence Creamer is codirector of Creamer Media and editor of Engineering News and Polity and digital editor of Mining Weekly.

While many books explore the Gospel, few tackle so directly and thoroughly the foundational question: Why are there four accounts instead of one? This book doesn't just accept the presence of the four books—it explains why they matter."Legend has it that St Thomas Aquinas said, 'hominem unius libri timeo' ('I fear the person of a single book'). The authors show that expounding our faith through a plurality of accounts and images has profound roots in the Old Testament….This delight in the richness of plural visions—propelling us towards transcendent and radiant truths—is a special gift at a time when society and even the Church are sundered by divisions and even polarization."—from the foreword by Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, OP"This book is not simply to be read and then put aside. Read it, read it with others, reflect and pray over the contents of each chapter, answer the questions personally and in a group…. The beauty and depth of the Word is an unlimited wealth and will unfold as you continue to ponder, reflect, and discuss.”—from the foreword by Cardinal Stephen Brislin, archbishop of JohannesburgRev.
