Covering topics in interpersonal, small-group, organizational and mass communication, the series forms the basis of UNISA's undergraduate programme in communication studies. Its graphic, interactive format complemented by an informal style makes it suitable for use by anyone needing insight into one of our most natural but complicated tools - communication. Each chapter gives the reader an overview, a list of key terms and a set of learning objectives before introducing its content. Activities reinforce and expand learning through self-evaluation, a concluding summary contextualises new knowledge and suggested-reading lists encourage further learning. The communication series is being revised and modularised along outcomes based education principles. The new series will be very suitable for semesterised courses. Format:paperback Pages:220

Medical secretary DIPLOMA N4-N6 FACULTY OF BUSINESS STUDIES N4-N6 JANUARY 2016 INTAKE REGISTRATION IN currently in PROGRESS AT UNITED CITY COLLEGE FULL TIME AND PART TIME CLASSES AVAILABLE (DAY, EVENING AND WEEKEND CLASSES A medical secretary is a member of staff in health care facilities like hospitals and doctors' offices who performs administrative and supportive functions. Medical secretaries deal with consultants' correspondence, making appointments, handling patients queries and liasing with other healthcare staff. Sometimes they may work under the title 'personal assistant'. In a GP practice, they handle letters and phone calls about a range of different conditions. Working for a hospital consultant usually means medical secretaries are based in a specific department, for example, paediatrics or cardiology. This is a responsible job, as medical secretaries are expected to use their own initiative, make decisions and deal with patients and their relatives who are worried or upset about their illness. There is significant contact with patients, GPs and other healthcare staff. Personal assistants may work for a specific director or the chief executive, managing their diary, sending out agendas for meetings, taking minutes, dealing with correspondence and organising travel arrangements. They may also be responsible for maintaining details of certain budgets and ordering stationery. They will be responsible for booking resources such as rooms, audio-visual equipment and refreshments for meetings and other events. They may be responsible for managing the workload of a team of secretaries ensuring that they have all of the materials (such as file documents, letter headed paper etc) and access to equipment (such as photocopiers, audio playback machines etc) that they need to do their work. Job opportunities include:  Medical secretary  Ward Secretary  Admin Secretary Entry Requirements: A senior certificate or an appropriate National Certificate (N3), or a National Senior Certificate, or an equivalent qualification.

Arthur C Clarke, who predicted the advent of communication satellites and author of 2001: A Space Odyssey completes a lifetime career in science fiction with a masterwork. 30 light years away, a race known simply as the One Point Fives are plotting a dangerous invasion plan, one that will wipe humankind off the face of the Earth... Meanwhile, in Sri Lanka, a young astronomy student, Ranjit Subramanian, becomes obsessed with a three-hundred-year-old theorem that promises to unlock the secrets of the universe. While Ranjit studies the problem, tensions grow between the nations of the world and a UN taskforce headed up by China, America and Russia code-named Silent Thunder begins bombing volatile regimes into submission. On the eve of the invasion of Earth a space elevator is completed, helped in part by Ranjit, which will herald a new type of Olympics to be held on the Moon. But when alien forces arrive Ranjit is forced to question his own actions, in a bid to save the lives of not just his own family but of all of humankind. Co-written with fellow grand master Frederik Pohl, The Last Theorem not only provides a fitting end to the career one of the most famous names in science fiction but also sets a new benchmark in contemporary prescient science fiction. It tackles with ease epic themes as diverse as third world poverty, the atrocities of modern warfare in a post-nuclear age, space elevators, pure mathematics and mankind's first contact with extra-terrestrials.

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 15 working days Globalization is now widely discussed, but the debates often focus on economic issues. A lucid and engaging writer, John Tomlinson goes far beyond traditional discussions to analyze the wide-ranging cultural, social, and moral aspects of globalization. Tomlinson begins this ambitious project by studying the relationship between globalization and contemporary culture, explaining the importance of time and space concerns, cultural imperialism, "deterritorialization," the impact of the media and communication technologies, and the possible growth of more cosmopolitan culture. We come to understand how someone may face unemployment as a result of downsizing decisions made at a company's head office on another continent, or how the food we find in our grocery stores is radically different today from twenty years ago. He discusses the uneven nature of the experience of global modernity in relation to first and third world countries, and concludes that a genuinely cosmopolitan culture is unlikely to emerge unless we respect cultural differences and share a common sense of commitment about the world.
