If this book saves just one person’s life, Leo Prinsloo will be happy.
Leo became an internet sensation after footage of his reaction to an attempted high-value goods-in-transit heist went viral. Stunned by his cool attitude and focused action in a crisis situation, South Africans had an example of what can happen when good people take a stand. With decades of experience in security – first as a policeman, then in the South African Police Service’s Special Task Force, and now providing arms handling and security training in the private sector – Leo has a wealth of knowledge on how to manage life-threatening incidents.
Driven by a desire to empower South Africans and help them claim back their sense of safety, he offers advice for dealing with every risky situation, from how to handle hijackings and road rage, to how to keep your children safe, to the best way to secure your home and business. He also provides comprehensive information about handling firearms and basic first aid.
Leo’s Guide to Not Becoming a Statistic is a guide to living your safest life in South Africa – something which has become increasingly important as our crime statistics continue to rise. Straight-talking and honest – much like Leo himself – it is an easy to use manual that makes keeping safe accessible, with relatable information and easy to implement tips.
Leo says that taking the first step towards securing your safety is the most important, and his book will help you take that step.

This book investigates the reality of renovating a Smallframe Vespa
in detail, outlining the techniques to fully restore a complete
wreck to factory fresh. The restoration is carried out by the
author in his own workshop, and all stages of the process are
covered. From frame welding and panel repair, to paint and trim,
every process is clearly described and backed up by over 600 full
colour photographs. Special tools, advice on their use, and even
possible home-made substitutes are covered, along with advice on
spare parts - no Smallframe Vespa owner should be without a copy.
The Kovels are the most trusted source for both the casual and
expert collector. With 12,500 actual prices and 3,150 full-color
photographs, the guide also features exceptionally well-organized,
wide-ranging, and up-to-the-minute information, and includes more
tips, marks, logos, and photographs than any other competitive
title. Kovels' is the only guide with prices based on actual sales
from the previous calendar year, never estimates. Unlike other
guides, which focus almost exclusively on English or high-priced
items, Kovels' covers all American and international items and
includes reasonably-priced goods. The book is organized by
categories most sought-after by collectors, including depression
glass, dolls, jewelry, furniture, porcelain, and sports
memorabilia. Indexes, cross-references, and expert commentary
throughout empower readers to collect with confidence and price
their own antiques.
Social media and emerging internet technologies have expanded the
ideas of marketing approaches. In particular, the phenomenon of the
internet in China challenges the common perception of new media
environments. Internet Mercenaries and Viral Marketing: The Case of
Chinese Social Media presents case studies, textual analysis, media
reviews, and in-depth interviews in order to investigate the
Chinese "pushing hand" operation from the conceptual perspective of
communications and viral marketing. This book is significant to
researchers, marketers, and advocates interested in the persuasive
influence of social networks.
