    Conjuring Zephyr , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 324min, (USK 18)
    Centuries after a ragtag group of scientists and their believers took refuge unground, humans have far surpassed their hopes of mere survival. Terrenus is now a prosperous civilization, where manners, polite society, and well-ordered magic reign. Kai Stephenson has always been dangerously curious, and it has always landed her in trouble. Stifled by the expectations of what is good and proper for a young lady, she has never outgrown her unruly, bold ideas. Determined to prove her magical theory, she enrolls in the most prestigious magic university in Terrenus, rather than the finishing school her parents think they are sending her to. The fact that she must masquerade as a man to attend the all-men’s college seems only a minor inconvenience, at first. But in a society with strict rules on how the sexes interact, Kai’s inexperience leaves her entirely unprepared.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Lenhart.

    Trade, Migration and Law (eBook, PDF)
    This book explores how law and policy makers within the Southern African Development Community regional structure might reform the legal and regulatory frameworks to best capitalise the benefits of the movement of people, drawing lessons from other experienced jurisdictions by critically engaging with the regulatory efforts and approaches in regions such as the European Union, the Economic Community of West African States, and the East African Community to propose a revised approach to migration governance and practice in the SADC. Deeper regional integration allows citizens to move freely across national boundaries, and services are a rising component of global trade and investment. However, global trade in services is stifled by barriers at and behind the border. These barriers make it difficult for service providers from developing regions to access key markets in their preferred modes of service trade. Against this background, this book aims to take the discussion on furthering regional integration and trade through the movement of people by tackling issues on stringent immigration policies, arguing that having a vibrant and rewarding trade in services will require an approach towards the unrestricted movement of persons.
