Description: With the considerable pressures that are being placed on our marine resources, there is an urgent need to find alternative strategies to ensure their long-term sustainability. One measure that has been proposed, and which is rapidly gaining popularity, is the designation of Marine Protected Area (MPA). These are demarcated areas that prohibit (or at least restrict) consumptive or extractive uses, such that human interferences and impacts are minimised. In this edited collection of papers, most of which have been written or co-written by the authors themselves, Sobel and Dahlgren have presented an excellent synopsis of the rationale behind, and the scientific basis underpinning, the use of marine reserves as a management tool. In addition, they have devoted half the book to the provision of case studies.

Description: Light on a hill : Building the Constitutional Court of South Africa is a visually elegant book that claims to 'reflect the spirit of the Court and be a beautiful object in its own right' (p. 8). Certainly this book is striking, with its rich photographs by Angela Buckland, its fresh, breathable design by Adele Prins, and its broad format with lavish centerfolds. Reading the text is in many ways an enlightening process of understanding the conceptual underpinnings of the buildings that make up the Constitutional Court complex, but this process of reading takes a few twists and turns along the way.
