		Experience in the use and effects of fertilizers in Africa is summarized and the views of workers on the value of different fertilizing methods and their role in fish culture examined.
		Tilapia species, which are the most commonly used pond fish in Africa, were apparently first tried in ponds in Kenya, in the nineteen twenties (Copley, 1952), although carp (Cyprinus carpio) had been tried in South Africa in 1859 and in Madagascar in 1914 (Bard, 1962).
		In Africa there are great differences between one area and another; conflicting results in various reports may in many cases be traced to differences in soil and water types, and definite results on fertilizer use under varying conditions are not yet available.

	Industrialisation and Trade Union Organization in South Africa 1924—1955 - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This major study of South African trade unionism traces the history of the South African Trades and Labour Council (TLC) from its origins in the 1920s to its demise in the early 1950s.
		The book focuses on South Africa's secondary industrialisation and subsequent changes in work organisation.
		By analysing trade union structures and strategies in the context of these changes, Dr Lewis shows how divisions within the labour movement were bound up with the development of production processes and the division of labour, rather than being the inevitable outcome of racial antagonisms.
