This study guide for Varsity Maths Preparation has been compiled by Emeritus Professor John Webb in response to the dire challenges experienced by first year university students, in Mathematics as well as in courses in Science, Engineering and Business Science, all heavily dependent on mathematical thinking. By working through the problem sets in this self-study book, learners should develop and test their skills, on their own, in areas such as algebraic expertise, trigonometry skills, word problems, geometric insight, numerical facility, logical reasoning and flexible thinking. This cannot be taught and is best achieved without assistance and timeously, i.e. prior to students entering university. The problem-solving techniques which learners could acquire from dedicated, independent use of this outstanding booklet will contribute significantly to their success in the National Benchmark tests (NBTs). Varsity Maths Prep is a gem for learners who are serious about an academic future.

A whimsical and innovative debut novel, HAPPY is the story of a starry-eyed cinephile who leaves his rural village in Punjab to pursue his dreams - set against the global migration crisis.

In a small farming village in Punjab, India, a boy crouches over his brother's phone in a rapeseed field watching clips of Godard's Bande a part on YouTube.

His name is Happy Singh Soni and when he's not sleeping among the cabbages and eating sugary rotis, Happy dreams of becoming an actor, one who plays the melancholy roles; the sad, pretty boys, rare in Indian cinema. He plans a clandestine journey to Europe, where he'll finally land a breakout role.

After a nightmarish passage to Italy, Happy still manages to find relief in food and fantasy, even as he is forced into ever-worsening work conditions on a radish farm by the syndicate involved in smuggling him to Europe to pay off the supposed debt they claim he has accrued. While disillusionment amongst the farm workers rise, Happy will find the love - and tragedy - that his favourite films always promised.

At turns funny and heart-breaking, sunny and tragic, Happy is a formally ambitious novel about the psychic fissures produced by the splintering of nations, and the lovely, generative, artful coping mechanisms created by generations of diasporic people. With this ingenious, daringly cinematic debut, Celina Baljeet Basra argues for the things that are basic to human survival: food, water, shelter, but also pleasure, romance, art, and the right to a vivid inner life.

Brian Herbert writes about these years with a truthful intensity that brings every facet of his father's brilliant, and sometimes troubled, genius to full light. Insightful and provocative, containing family photos never published anywhere, this absorbing biography offers Brian Herbert's unique personal perspective on one of the most enigmatic and creative talents of our time.

Toe Kristie se werklikheid ineenstort, vlug sy na Phuket in Thailand. Maar die eiland bring nie vir haar die gemoedsrus waarop sy gehoop het nie.

Bessie Botha, deesdae weduwee Botha, woon saam met haar broer, Willem, op ’n kleinhoewe buite Bloemfontein. 1974 was tot dusver nie ’n goeie jaar nie, en om alles te kroon is oorlede Stefaans se welgestelde broer en sy jong neus-in-die-lug vrou op pad om te kom
kuier.

Bessie ontferm haar oor al wat kind en dier is in die gemeenskap. Sy meng ook graag by ander se sake in wanneer dit lyk asof Dominee of Gezina, die nuwe voorsitster van die sustersvereniging, nie hul kant bring nie.

Wanneer die veertienjarige Annatjie de Villiers weer een Sondag ná kerk langs die treinspoor staan en flikkers gooi vir al wat ’n treindrywer is, besluit Bessie om die meisiekind ’n boek in die hand te stop sodat sy kan léér waar babas vandaan kom.

Bessie se hangkasbiblioteek is propvol heimwee en humor, met uiteenlopende karakters net so kleurryk soos die boeke in Bessie se spaarkamerhangkas. Madelein Rust op haar beste!

Met Verskombuis lewer George Weideman 'n kombinasie: Poesie en kos praat hier saam, met en oor mekaar om 'n watertandlekker veelgangmaaltyd te bied vir die fynproewer van voedsel en vers.

Die resepte is oorwegend deur die digter self ontwikkel en tussen die proe en probeer deur neergeskryf - doudagdisse, hoofdisse en toekos, slaaieen agteroppies. Die bundel word afgesluit met 'n besondere vyftal outydse poedingresepte wat uit die kookboekie van ene Anna Maria Kersop met die datum 1879 oorgeneem is.

Die verse uit Weideman se kombuis handel soms die heerlike bestanddele soos granate, eiervrug, sampioene, dadels en turksvye, soms oor besondere geregte, soms oor goeters wat in die kombuis gebruik word ("Tot lof van die lepel"), soms oor eksotiese geregte soos Imam Bayildi en borsjt, maar soms ook baie gewone lekkertes uit die kombuis, soos "Opstaankoffie", "Aanbrandsel" en "Broodbak".

En wie sou nou kon raai dat 'n kalbaspampoentjie soveel stuitigheid kan oplewer? Verskombuis is 'n bundel wat proe-proe met keurige wyn geniet kan word, maar soms ook met groot happe verslind sal kan word!

Africa State of Mind gathers together the work of an emergent generation of photographers from across Africa, including both the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa. It is both a summation of new photographic practice from the last decade and an exploration of how contemporary photographers from the continent are exploring ideas of 'Africanness' to reveal Africa to be a psychological space as much as a physical territory - a state of mind as much as a geographical place. Dispensing with the western colonial view of Africa in purely geographic or topographic terms, Ekow Eshun presents Africa State of Mind in four thematic parts: Hybrid Cities; Inner Landscapes; Zones of Freedom; and Myth and Memory. Each theme, introduced by a text by Eshun, presents selections of work by a new wave of African photographers who are looking both outward and inward: capturing life among the sprawling cities and multitudinous conurbations of the continent, turning the legacy of the continent's history into the source of resonant new myths and dreamscapes and exploring questions of gender, sexuality and identity. Each of the photographers seeks to capture the experience of what it means, and how it feels, to live in Africa today.

South African poet and political activist Dennis Brutus (1924-2009) wrote poetry of the most exquisite lyrical beauty and intense power. And through his various political activities, he played a uniquely significant role in mobilising and intensifying opposition to injustice and oppression - initially in South Africa, but later throughout the rest of the world as well. This book focuses on the life of Dennis Brutus in South Africa from his childhood until he went into exile on an exit permit in 1966. It is also an attempt to acknowledge Brutus' literary and political work and, in a sense, to reintroduce Brutus to South Africa. This book places his own voice at the centre of his life story. It is told primarily in his own words - through newspaper and journal articles, tape recordings, interviews, speeches, court records and correspondence. It draws extensively on archival material not yet available in the public domain, as well as on interviews with several people who interacted with Brutus during his early years in South Africa. In particular, it examines his participation in some of the most influential organisations of his time, including the Teachers' League of South Africa, the Anti-Coloured Affairs Department movement and the Coloured National Convention, the Co-ordinating Committee for International Recognition in Sport, the South African Sports Association and the South African Non-Racial Olympic Committee, which all campaigned against racism in South African sport. Brutus left behind an important legacy in literature involvement, in community affairs and politics in as well.

How can we reclaim the soul-deepening wildness that grounds us and energizes us when so much of the modern world seems designed to tame us?

In this thrilling memoir of a life spent exploring the most incredible places on Earth—from the Great African Seaforest to the crocodile lairs of the Okavango Delta—Craig Foster reveals how we can attend to the earthly beauty around us and deepen our love for all living things, whether we make our homes in the country, the city, or anywhere in between.

Foster explores his struggles to remain present to life when a disconnection from nature and the demands of his professional life begin to deaden his senses. And his own reliance on nature’s rejuvenating spiritual power is put to the test when catastrophe strikes close to home.

Foster’s lyrical, riveting Amphibious Soul draws on his decades of daily ocean dives, wisdom from Indigenous teachers, and leading-edge science.
