Die tien uit tien tuinmaakreeks dek 'n verskeidenheid tuinonderwerpe in 'n gerieflike klein formaat wat sommer byderhand gehou kan word terwyl jy tuinmaak. Die reeks is 'n uitvloeisel van die skrywer se besoeke en lesings aan tuinbouklubs op dorpe wat strek van Pongola in die ooste tot Lambertsbaai in die weste, en vanaf Vryburg in die noorde tot by Caledon in die suide. In elke dorp is daar unieke uitdagings wat werklik van tuinmaak 'n spesialisstokperdjie maak - dink aan die kalkgrond in die Vryburg / Mafikeng area, die brakwater by Olifantshoek en Kimberley, en die ysige winters en warm, droe somers van Middelburg in die Karoo om maar net 'n paar voorbeelde te noem. Maar ten spyte van die magdom probleme is daar in elke dorp asemrowende tuine, en wonderlike tuiniers wat 'n passie vir tuinmaak het. Hierdie reeks wil alle tuiniers, reg oor die land, inspireer en toerus met die kennis om self 'n pragtuin te skep. In elke titel word die geheime van suksesvolle tuinmaak in tien sleutelbeginsels saamgevat. Onderwerpe in die reeks sluit in:beplanning van die tuin; die keuse van plante vir die tuin; voorbereiding van die tuin; besproeiing in die tuin; dammetjies in die tuin; fokuspunte in die tuin; kompos in die tuin; beligting in die tuin.

Since ancient times, poisonous plants and mushrooms have been used for hunting, murder and magic. Most cultures of the world have learnt to avoid these plants or to use them with discretion. Many of the plants are still widely used as traditional medicine for their therapeutic value in the treatment of diseases. Others are popular as recreational drugs or for ceremonial and spiritual purposes. Hazardous plants are commonly used as garden ornamentals, pot plants or florist flowers, and many people are no longer aware of the inherent dangers posed by toxic plants or medicines derived from them. Also included in this illustrated guide are plants causing irritation and inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes. A special focus is on psychoactive plants which can have stimulant, sedative, hypnotic, narcotic or hallucinogenic properties, such as coca, opium, cannabis and scopolamine.

This guide gives the reader a bird's eye view ot all the famous and well-known poisonous and mind-altering plants ot the world. The book is presented as a compact, colourful and scientifically accurate reference text. It covers more than 1200 of the most important plants that people are likely to be exposed to. More than 200 of the most important poisonous and mind-altering plants are treated in depth in short monographs, covering their diagnostic characters, region of origin and distribution, active ingredients, toxicity, symptoms of intoxication and possible modes of action. Each monograph provides information on first aid treatment. More than 550 superb colour photographs facilitate plant identification.

This guide is a must for gardeners, farmers, veterinarians, students, botanists, pharmacists, chemists, doctors and Poison Centres. The compact format and encyclopaedic style will be useful to rapidly access information on poisonous plants.

An authoritative introduction to one of the most influential painters in the history of art, written by the pre-eminent authority on the subject and informed by the latest research. More versatile and less idiosyncratic than Michelangelo, more prolific and accessible than his mentor Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, though he died at only thirty-seven, is considered the single most influential artist of the Renaissance. Here, art historian Paul Joannides explores the different social and regional contexts of Raphael's work and discusses all aspects of his artistic output. He traces Raphael's career from his origins in Urbino, through his altarpieces made in Umbria in the shadow of Perugino, to the first flowering of his genius in Florence where he painted a series of iconic Madonnas that are among the most beloved images in Western art. Raphael's employment by the dynamic and demanding Pope Julius II gave him opportunities without parallel and encouraged the full expansion of his genius. As a sophisticate entrepreneur, he dominated Rome's artistic life and extended the range of his activities to that of architect, designer, pioneer archaeologist and theoretician. The foundation of Raphael's versatility and range was his supreme clarity of mind as a draughtsman. Knowledge of his drawings, on which Joannides is a leading expert, is central to understanding of his achievement, and they are thoroughly explored here.

When a world war comes to Myanmar (Burma), one special elephant becomes a hero. As people are forced to leave their home in the Burmese jungle, Bandoola, his keeper Po Toke and war veteran James Howard Williams (Aka Elephant Bill), undertake a journey that will test their courage, taking trust, understanding and bravery to the very limit. Together, they lead a group of 53 elephants and over 200 refugees to safety, scaling 6000ft mountains as they trek from Myanmar to northern India.

A fascinating, bottom-up exploration of contemporary Russian politics that sheds new light on why Putin's grip on power is more fragile than we think "Putin v. the People wrestles with perhaps the central conundrum of contemporary Russia: the endurance of support for Putin amid deepening disillusionment with the present and pessimism about the future."-Daniel Beer, The Guardian What do ordinary Russians think of Putin? Who are his supporters? And why might their support now be faltering? Alive with the voices and experiences of ordinary Russians and elites alike, Sam Greene and Graeme Robertson craft a compellingly original account of contemporary Russian politics. Telling the story of Putin's rule through pivotal episodes such as the aftermath of the "For Fair Elections" protests, the annexation of Crimea, and the War in Eastern Ukraine, Greene and Robertson draw on interviews, surveys, social media data, and leaked documents to reveal how hard Putin has to work to maintain broad popular support, while exposing the changing tactics that the Kremlin has used to bolster his popularity. Unearthing the ambitions, emotions, and divisions that fuel Russian politics, this book illuminates the crossroads to which Putin has led his country and shows why his rule is more fragile than it appears.

In hierdie titel gee die skrywer sy mening oor die ekologiese krisis en beveel aan dat ons ons hele wereldbeskouing verander, nie net ons tegnologie nie. Dit beteken ons ou volkie se pionierstalente kom weer in aanvraag. Hy glo ook parasiete is van groot nut vir die mensdom, want dink net hoe hierdie haglik oorbevolkte planeetjie nou al sou gelyk het sonder malaria! Het u geweet vegetariers is in werklikheid plantmoordenaars? Hulle is erger as vleiseters, want hulle pik op die mees weerlose lewende wesens wat nie eers kan skree of weghol nie. En diereregte-aktiviste is ongelukkig en onvrolik. Hulle het in der waarheid net een doel, en dis om ander mense ewe ongelukkig te maak. En hulle het geld. Soos die ikone van televisie-prediking weet hulle hoe om hulle bydraes uit naiewe ou tannies se sakke te rokkel. Wanneer die dood tersprake kom, glo hy ons instinkte lieg vir ons dat ons liggame onsterflik is. Ons verstand weet ons gaan sterf, maar ons arme instinktiewe liggame glo dit nie.

The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over, but even as governments around the world strive to put it behind us, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and in this book he lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another disaster like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world's foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, he first makes us understand the science of corona diseases. Then he helps us understand how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, can not only ward off another COVID-like catastrophe but also go far to eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu. Here is a clarion call - strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance - from one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists.
