A search on Google turns up the following:

Bonny Sands
Adjunct Assistant Professor of Linguistics
Department of English
Northern Arizona University
Ph.D. Linguistics, UCLA

Author of:
Eastern and Southern African Khoisan: Evaluating Claims of Distant
Linguistic Relationships. Koln: Radiger Koppe Verlag, 1998.
"An acoustic study of Xhosa clicks." Actes du XIIème Congres
International des Sciences Phonetiques. Aix-en-Provence, 1991.
"Comparison and classification of Khoisan languages." Language
History and Linguistic Description. Trenton: Africa World Press,
1998.
"Interpreting Hadza Data." Festschrift for A. Traill. Koln: Radiger
KoppeVerlag, in press.

Apparently she's on the Advisory Council of Experts
(for Khoisan) at yourdictionary.com, as well.

(I'm interested in the matter since a friend of mine
here at Stockholm Uni is probably going to do fieldwork
on Hadza.)
