- Marsh, Julian S, Swart, Roger S, Phillips, D

  • Authors: Marsh, Julian S , Swart, Roger S , Phillips, D

  • Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/150364 , vital:38970 , https://doi.org/10.2113/106.4.281
  • Description: A reliable 40Ar/39Ar plateau age of 180 ± 1.2 Ma (1σ) has been obtained for fresh basalt lava interbedded with aeolian Etjo Formation sandstones south-southwest of Grootfontein in northeast Namibia. This indicates that the Early Jurassic Karoo flood basalt sequence extended from Botswana into northeast Namibia at least as far as 18 east and that this may mark the eastern extent of the Early Cretaceous Etendeka Igneous Province.

  • Description: If there is one thing journalists should know about the "Information Society", it's this: never use the phrase as if its meaning speaks for itself. This is one of the most slippery and contentious phrases yet to grace contemporary discourse. For a start, why "Information Society" and not "Knowledge Society"? And why "society" and not "economy"? This is not academic semantics. There are wholly different meanings at stake with different implications for journalists, politicians, policy makers and many more.

  • Description: Here's a disturbing detail from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP): only 1 in 118 Africans has access to the Internet.
