At the northern entrance to Prince Albert in the Great Karoo lies Northend, a neighbourhood home to a special group of people. They have a very special way of communicating with others through their stories, which indicate an inherent joy of life. However, judging by their environment and circumstances, it is clear that they have experienced many hardship, and for an outsider it is an enriching experience to meet them.
Every picture in Slow Down Look Again tells a story and is supported by explanatory text. These enable the reader to gain insight into the past and the present of this unique neighbourhood and its residents.
The joy and sorrows of the residents of Northend - as well as their scant earthly possessions - are illustrated through Louis Botha?s excellent choice of photographic backgrounds. And yet the absolute neatness of their homes illustrates a certain pride - poverty without dilapidation. The intimacy of the photographs ultimately leaves the reader enriched. We become witnesses not only to the extraordinary character of a close-knit community, but also of its trusting relationship with the person whom they have allowed to tell their story.
Louis Botha was born in Bloemfontein in 1955 and grew up on a small-holding north-east of Pretoria. After school he studied finance and followed a career in the Financial Services Industry. At the age of 40, and encouraged by his wife he pursued his hobby more seriously. He?s held several exhibitions and lives in Prince Albert.

This easy step-by-step method emphasizes correct playing habits and
note reading through interval recognition. Lesson Book 1B begins by
reviewing the concepts taught in Lesson Book 1A, then introduces
new concepts such as incomplete measures; tempo markings; eighth
notes and rests; using the damper pedal; half steps and whole
steps. It also introduces the major scale through the concept of
tetrachords.
Carefully graded methods written by instrumental specialists that
emphasize good tone production, build a strong rhythmic sense and
develop well-rounded musicianship.
Lee Miller's work for Vogue from 1941-1945 sets her apart as a
photographer and writer of extraordinary ability. The quality of
her photography from the period has long been recognized as
outstanding, and its full range is shown here, accompanied by her
brilliant despatches. Starting with her first report from a field
hospital soon after D-Day, the despatches and nearly 160
photographs show war-ravaged cities, buildings and landscapes, but
above all they portray the war-resilient people - soldiers,
leaders, medics, evacuees, prisoners of war, the wounded, the
villains and the heroes. There is the raw edge of combat portrayed
at the siege of St Malo and in the bitterly fought Alsace campaign,
and the disbelief and outrage Miller describes on witnessing the
victims of Dachau. The war's horror is relieved by the spirit of
post-liberation Paris, where she inudulged in frivoluous fashions
and recorded memorable conversations with Picasso, Cocteau, Eluard,
Aragon and Colette. The book ends with Miller's first-on-the-scene
report giving a sardonic description of HItler's abandoned house in
Munich, and the looting and burning of his alpine fortress at
Berchtesgaden, which marked a symbolic end to the war. David E.
Scherman, the renowned war photojournalist who shared many of
Miller's assignments, contributes a foreword.

The Forth Rail Bridge is one of the world's great engineering
feats, and one of its most well-known. When it opened in 1890, the
cantilevered bridge had one of the world's longest spans, at 541
metres. Its distinctive and innovative design marks it as an
important milestone in bridge construction during the period when
railways came to dominate long-distance land travel. Spanning the
estuary of one of the country's great rivers, the Forth Bridge
revolutionised travel within Scotland, and it continues to carry
and freight more than 130 years after its official opening. This
view of the Forth Rail Bridge features the Gresley A4 Class Pacific
Plover locomotive and was painted by Terence Cuneo (1907-1996) for
British Railways in 1952. Cuneo withstood gales of over 50 mph as
he sketched the scene from a girder above the track.
Ragtime is a perfect style for exciting duets, and this Scott
Joplin-like piece is a fine example in that configuration. In this
joyful, bouncy song, both performers are given sections in which to
"shine" in an easy-to-read layout, loaded with traditional
syncopation and using the full range of the keyboard. This rag will
make a crowd-pleasing concert piece as well as a great chance for
students to explore the world of ragtime rhythm and styling as they
prepare for more difficult solo work.
The 3-D Band Book is a three-dimensional approach to rehearsal
preparation. This complete tune up/warm up program will reduce
rehearsal stress and permit greater accomplishment with less
effort. The overall preparedness that this book provides will make
every rehearsal a more rewarding and enjoyable experience. The book
is divided into three parts: tune up/warm up, key preparation, and
rhythm preparation. In addition, there are three pages of harmony
and ear training which will provide the basic knowledge necessary
for relating to the exercises and chorales found in the book.

Spectator Winter, 1561. Lucrezia, Duchess of Ferrara, is taken on
an unexpected visit to a country villa by her husband, Alfonso. As
they sit down to dinner it occurs to Lucrezia that Alfonso has a
sinister purpose in bringing her here. He intends to kill her.
Lucrezia is sixteen years old, and has led a sheltered life locked
away inside Florence's grandest palazzo. Here, in this remote
villa, she is entirely at the mercy of her increasingly erratic
husband. What is Lucrezia to do with this sudden knowledge? What
chance does she have against Alfonso, ruler of a province, and a
trained soldier? How can she ensure her survival. The Marriage
Portrait is an unforgettable reimagining of the life of a young
woman whose proximity to power places her in mortal danger.
