Die vroue in Jesus se geslagsregister was dapper, het risiko’s geneem en die onverwagte gedoen. Hulle was nie perfek nie, en tog het God hulle in sy wonderlike plan gebruik om die Verlosser van die wêreld voort te bring.

Ons leef in moeilike tye en soek antwoorde op miljoene vrae. Die lesse wat ons by hierdie vroue kan leer, is vandag net so toepaslik as in die tyd toe hulle geleef het.

Die verhale van die vyf vroue in die geslagsregister van Jesus is nou in een boek beskikbaar. Tamar was ’n vrou van hoop. Ragab een van geloof. Rut was die vrou van liefde en Batseba het ongeëwenaarde genade ontvang. En dan is daar Maria, die vrou van gehoorsaamheid. Met die lees van hulle verhale sal jy beter begrip kry vir God se plan met die wêreld en tot die besef kom dat hierdie plan ook vir jóú insluit.

The Unrealized Promise of the Next Great Copyright Act provides a unique perspective on one of the most active periods of copyright policy discourse in the United States since the enactment of the Copyright Act of 1976. Using the then-Register of Copyrights Maria Pallante's landmark speech of 2013 The Next Great Copyright Act as a catalyst, Christopher S. Reed documents and assesses the major issues confronting the U.S. copyright system today. The book offers an inside view of the Copyright Office's attempts at reform as part of a comprehensive account of the complex dynamics between key stakeholder communities, government and legislation. Chapters also explore relevant areas of copyright such as orphan works and mass digitization, online copyright enforcement, visual arts and music licensing, and demonstrate that despite previous difficulties the time is now ripe for an update to U.S. copyright law. This insightful book will be of great value to scholars and legal practitioners with a focus on copyright law and policy, and will also prove a useful resource for instructors teaching copyright policy at an advanced level. Others with an interest in intellectual property, technology and connected culture, or politics and government will also find this book an engaging read.

Die kortverhale in Maansiek verken 'n wye register: die Rooms-Katolieke geloof, charismatiese aanbidding, Afrika-mistiek, erotiek en moederskap, konflik tussen ras en geslag en sosiale status, spanning tussen die hede en die historiese, die sienlike en die onsienlike.

As basis vir sommige verhale dien 'n nugter koerantberig of tydskrifartikel uit vervloe dekades wat binne die verhaalkonteks tegelyk humoristies en ontstellend is.

Ander is gegrond op minder bekende aspekte van bekende figure of vertellings van onbekende vroue met uiteenlopende agtergronde.

Wikus Lombaard is 'n nice ou. Hy is kaptein van die eerste rugbyspan en met sy dodelike skopskoen het hy sy span al meermale uit die verknorsing gered. En sy meisie, Marissa, is die mooiste in die skool. En al sukkel Wikus nou so 'n bietjie met die wiskunde, is dit ook nie die ergste nie. Met Marissa by hom en die rugby wat voorle, is dinge doodreg – hy weet mos immers waaroor dit gaan in die lewe, veral noudat hy in die vakansie met sy suster se vriendin gevry het – behoorlik gevry. All-the-way. Maar in hierdie laaste skooljaar van hom, kort voor sy deelname aan die Cravenweek, loop dinge skeef. Lelik skeef. Vir die eerste keer ontdek Wikus dat die lewe ook reels het. En dat dit nie net in rugby is dat 'n ou van die veld afgejaag kan word nie.
