From the New York Times bestselling author of I'm Judging You, a hilarious and transformational book about how to tackle fear--that everlasting hater--and audaciously step into lives, careers, and legacies that go beyond even our wildest dreams Luvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit, warmth, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she's been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker, she's not alone. We're all afraid. We're afraid of asking for what we want because we're afraid of hearing "no." We're afraid of being different, of being too much or not enough. We're afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly, meaningfully change our lives, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say to live free. With humor and honesty, and guided by the influence of her professional troublemaking Nigerian grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we've been silencing--because truth-telling is a muscle. The point is not to be fearless, but to know we are afraid and charge forward regardless. It is to recognize that the things we must do are more significant than our fears. This book is about how to live boldly in spite of all the reasons we have to cower. Let's go!
Krap uit die see is die tweede bundel van die jong digter Fourie Botha. Soos sy debuutbundel Donkerkamer wat op die kortlys vir die 2013 Ingrid Jonkerprys was, sluit Krap uit die see aan by die debat oor manlikheid, wat sowel geweld, lyflikheid, die vaderfiguur, homo-erotiek en doodgewone huislikheid van twee mans wat saamwoon insluit. Die see is ’n deurlopende motief, die oerbron waaruit alle lewe kruip, in gedigte oor familieverhoudings, die liefde en erotiek. Grense tussen lewe en dood, droom en werklikheid, mens en dier vervloei op surrealistiese wyse.

Vir langer as wat kroonprins Florin oud is, is die twee koninkryke Monfiel en Vinland in ’n wrede oorlog verwikkel. Tot daar op ’n dag ’n bode die goeie tyding bring dat die twee konings vrede gesluit het. Florin word na die vredesfees in Vinland genooi, maar daar aangekom, wag die grootste skok op die jong prins: Die sogenaamde vredesverdrag was ’n lokval. Sy pa, koning Philip, en sy gevolg is gevange geneem en Florin verloor in ’n oogwink alles wat hy het: sy pa, sy titel, sy koninkryk en sy eer. Koning Theodo laat hom leef, maar verdoem hom om opgelei te word as hofnar deur Mimus – Theodo se onvoorspelbare, enigmatiese en met tye gemene hofnar. Saam met Mimus moet Florin dag na dag leer hoe om die laagste skepsel aan die hof te wees en sy kop te behou deur die koning te laat lag. Maar daar is meer aan Mimus as donkieore, ’n narmasker en lawwe toertjies, wat Florin laat wonder of Mimus dalk sy vertroueling en vriend kan wees … of ’n pop wat slegs na Theodo se pype dans? Mimus is ’n verhaal van konings en narre, mag en vernedering, humor en hartseer, en in die middel ’n enkele hofnar wat terselfdertyd lig en donker verteenwoordig. Dit is ’n intrige wat oud en jonk sal meesleur na die Middeleeue en tot op die laaste bladsy sal boei.

‘Brave, compassionate and inspiring – it left me in floods of tears’ Adam Kay, author of This Is Going to Hurt For more than twenty-five years, David Nott has taken unpaid leave from his job as a general and vascular surgeon with the NHS to volunteer in some of the world’s most dangerous war zones. From Sarajevo under siege in 1993, to clandestine hospitals in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, he has carried out life-saving operations and field surgery in the most challenging conditions, and with none of the resources of a major London teaching hospital. The conflicts he has worked in form a chronology of twenty-first-century combat: Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Darfur, Congo, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Gaza and Syria. But he has also volunteered in areas blighted by natural disasters, such as the earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal. Driven both by compassion and passion, the desire to help others and the thrill of extreme personal danger, he is now widely acknowledged to be the most experienced trauma surgeon in the world. But as time went on, David Nott began to realize that flying into a catastrophe – whether war or natural disaster – was not enough. Doctors on the ground needed to learn how to treat the appalling injuries that war inflicts upon its victims. Since 2015, the foundation he set up with his wife, Elly, has disseminated the knowledge he has gained, training other doctors in the art of saving lives threatened by bombs and bullets. War Doctor is his extraordinary story

The second edition of this textbook has been fully revised and adds material about loop optimisation, function call optimisation and dataflow analysis. It presents techniques for making realistic compilers for simple programming languages, using techniques that are close to those used in "real" compilers, albeit in places slightly simplified for presentation purposes. All phases required for translating a high-level language to symbolic machine language are covered, including lexing, parsing, type checking, intermediate-code generation, machine-code generation, register allocation and optimisation, interpretation is covered briefly. Aiming to be neutral with respect to implementation languages, algorithms are presented in pseudo-code rather than in any specific programming language, but suggestions are in many cases given for how these can be realised in different language flavours. Introduction to Compiler Design is intended for an introductory course in compiler design, suitable for both undergraduate and graduate courses depending on which chapters are used.
