PG texts in South Africa

Here's another example of PG texts being used. http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=961

I can't seem to find an email address that works for them. Any help? Thanks! Michael On Wed, 12 Apr 2006, Andrew Sly wrote:

The Open Book venture is indeed one to be applauded, Andrew. I became a PG volunteer after teaching in Zimbabwe in 1997-98 and perceiving the need for inexpensive books throughout Africa (less so in South Africa). Regrettably, I have been unsuccessful in enlisting Zimbabwean faculty in a project to print selected PG texts. But the DVD adaptation will be a boon for teachers and students whose access to the Internet is undependable. Obviously Michael has found the OpenLab International e-mail address: the website quotes his enthusiastic welcome of Open Book. In order to cooperate with them, what about asking OpenLab International to transmit to PG a list of titles needed by their academic clientele? Such a list could be circulated so that PG volunteers can supply the books needed. A Nigerian friend told me that many a student in his country has to walk for miles to borrow a book, take it home, copy it overnight by hand, and return it the next day. PG volunteers can help young people whose learning depends on overcoming that kind of hardship. Dick Adicks . . . if vicious people are united and form a power, honest people must do the same. --Leo Tolstoy

Unfortunately, we cannot. Our old books are nice, but they surely need mostly books from last decade. -- http://www.gnu.franken.de/ke/ | ,__o | _-\_<, | (*)/'(*) Key fingerprint = F138 B28F B7ED E0AC 1AB4 AA7F C90A 35C3 E9D0 5D1C
