Reports from the Dorsland and other Pioneering Regions

By: PJ van der Merwe

‘Shortly after his appointment as lecturer in Stellenbosch, historian PJ van der Merwe turned his attention to the Northwest. In those days the region was mostly unknown to people outside this part of the world. Like today, there was uncertainty then about the boundaries of this region and its sub-regions … Berigte uit die Dorsland, compiled by Van der Merwe’s daughter, Margaretha Schäfer, contains more than 200 of his magazine and newspaper articles. The articles, based on interviews and observations, offer a wealth of important information that he gathered during two extensive visits to the Northwest and surrounding regions … He realised, long before most historians, that a personal interview with someone, who has had a particular experience, was an important historical source. But, it was essential to test the evidence and verify it with that of other people. The articles in Die Burger, Die Huisgenoot, Die Landbouweekblad and Sarie Marais are accompanied by excellent photographs taken by Van der Merwe.’ HERMANN GILIOMEE

Berigte uit die Dorsland en ander pioniersgewestes

By: PJ Van der Merwe

e;Kort na sy aanstelling as lektor op Stellenbosch het die historikus P.J. van der Merwe aandag begin skenk aan die Noordweste. Die gebied was destyds grootliks onbekend aan mense buite die geweste. Soos vandag nog was daar destyds onsekerheid oor die grense van die streek en sy sub-streke ... Berigte uit die Dorsland, wat sy dogter, Margaretha Schaefer, saamgestel het, bevat meer as 200 tydskrif- en koerantartikels uit sy pen. Die artikels, gebaseer op sy onderhoude en waarnemings, bied 'n rykdom aan belangrike inligting, wat hy versamel het tydens twee uitgebreide besoeke aan die Noordweste en omliggende dele ... Lank voor die meeste historici het hy besef dat 'n persoonlike onderhoud met iemand wat 'n bepaalde ervaring gehad het 'n waardevolle historiese bron kan wees. Dit was egter noodsaaklik om die getuienis te toets en met die getuienis van ander mense te kontroleer. Die artikels in Die Burger, Die Huisgenoot, Landbouweekblad en Sarie Marais word vergesel van uitstekende foto's wat Van der Mewe met sy kamera geneem het.'"e; - Hermann Giliomee

Thin Film Growth Techniques for Low-Dimensional Structures

By: R.F.C. Farrow,S.S.P. Parkin,P.J. Dobson,J.H. Neave,A.S. Arrott

This work represents the account of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Thin Film Growth Techniques for Low Dimensional Structures", held at the University of Sussex, Brighton, England from 15-19 Sept. 1986. The objective of the workshop was to review the problems of the growth and characterisation of thin semiconductor and metal layers. Recent advances in deposition techniques have made it possible to design new material which is based on ultra-thin layers and this is now posing challenges for scientists, technologists and engineers in the assessment and utilisation of such new material. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has become well established as a method for growing thin single crystal layers of semiconductors. Until recently, MBE was confined to the growth of III-V compounds and alloys, but now it is being used for group IV semiconductors and II-VI compounds. Examples of such work are given in this volume. MBE has one major advantage over other crystal growth techniques in that the structure of the growing layer can be continuously monitored using reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). This technique has offered a rare bonus in that the time dependent intensity variations of RHEED can be used to determine growth rates and alloy composition rather precisely. Indeed, a great deal of new information about the kinetics of crystal growth from the vapour phase is beginning to emerge.

Holidays in Hell

In Which Our Intrepid Reporter Travels to the World's Worst Places and Asks, "What's Funny About This?"

By: P. J. O'Rourke

A “hair-raisingly hilarious” journey through danger zones from Belfast to Gaza, by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author (Vanity Fair). “Tired of making bad jokes” and believing that “the world outside seemed a much worse joke than anything I could conjure,” journalist and political satirist P. J. O’Rourke decided to traverse the globe on a fun-finding mission, investigating the way of life in the most desperate places on the planet, including Warsaw, Managua, and Belfast. The result is Holidays in Hell—a full-tilt, no-holds-barred romp through politics, culture, and ideology. The author’s adventures include storming student protesters’ barricades with riot police in South Korea, interviewing communist insurrectionists in the Philippines, and going undercover dressed in Arab garb in the Gaza Strip. He also takes a look at America’s homegrown horrors as he braves the media frenzy surrounding the Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Washington DC, uncovers the mortifying banality behind the white-bread kitsch of Jerry Falwell’s Heritage USA, and survives the stultifying boredom of Harvard’s 350th anniversary celebration. Packed with classic riffs on everything from Polish nightlife under communism to Third World driving tips, Holidays in Hell is one of the best-loved books by “one of America’s most hilarious writers” (Time). “Wickedly amusing.” —The Baltimore Sun “Funny, outrageous, perceptive.” —The Washington Post Book World

Pioneers of the Dorsland

By: P.J. van der Merwe

Translated by Margaretha Schaefer, Pioneers of the Dorsland provides a journalistic account of PJ van der Merwe's travels to the Northwest where he interviewed farmers, clergymen, teachers, businessmen, policemen, officials of the magistrate court, divisional council and school board. Van der Merwe introduces the narrative by explaining that it focuses on the peculiar migratory way of life of the region's half-nomadic pioneers. He highlights his efforts as an exhaustive attempt that may prove useful to any future historian interested in the area. Van der Merwe also published other similar works during his time as a researcher, traveller, historian and journalist - Die Noordwaartse Beweging van die Boere voor die Groot Trek, 1770-1842, Die Trekboer in die Geskiedenis van die Kaapkolonie, 1657-1842 and Trek: Studies oor die Mobiliteit van die Pioniersbevolking aan die Kaap. Pioneers of the Dorsland is also available in Afrikaans.
