The book discusses origin, structure and pathogenesis, epidemiology, environmental transmission and the potential spread routes of COVID-19 via surfaces, air, water, wastewater, medical waste and food products. It also covers guidelines and protocols for setting safety conditions to provide adequate health care and reduce the risk of infection in health and non-healthcare settings, along with preventative measures and disinfection technologies. In addition, the book discusses challenges, opportunities and future perspectives, the global crisis, and global consequences on the environment and health. With contributions from experts, this book presents a multidisciplinary reference resource for virologists, microbiologists, public health professionals, environmental health managers and others engaged in the study and mitigation of the environmental and health impacts of the virus.

In 2011 a property in the Midlands in South Africa that contained a rundown motel went on sale. Rumours were that it would become a truck stop and would start renting out rooms by the hour. That was until entrepreneur Iain Buchan, who owned the neighbouring farm, and his wife, Carol, stepped in.

The Buchans created a wedding venue by building a small dam with a rustic chapel on its banks, but the couple yearned for more. They had been dazzled by the grand gardens they had seen on their travels and decided to transform the green grasslands into something spectacular. Landscaper Tim Steyn was asked to draw up plans and they were about to break ground when the pandemic broke out. A man of endless action, Iain pressed on and persuaded the staff of the wedding venue to help. Waiters began swinging picks, housekeepers dug beds and one chef became a master of irrigation.

Four years on an audacious, magical garden has been rendered from the fertile Midlands soil. Iain Buchan thinks nothing of gouging grottoes and running brooks out of the hillside or moving trees around like a giant in a Grimm’s fairy tale. Today Brahman Hills boasts a moat, a grotto, a magnificent sculpture garden, water features, paths and 16 beehives that are works of art.

The gardens at Brahman Hills are so spectacular they caught the attention of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in the United Kingdom, which selected it as a Partner Garden in 2023. It then went on to win the RHS Regional Winner award for that year.

A quest is never what you expect it to be.

Elizabeth Madeline Martin spends her days in a retirement home in Cape Town, watching the pigeons and squirrels on the branch of a tree outside her window. Bedridden, her memory fading, she can recall her early childhood spent in a small wood-and-iron house in Blackridge on the outskirts of Pietermaritzburg. Though she remembers the place in detail – dogs, a mango tree, a stream – she has no idea of where exactly it is. ‘My memory is full of blotches,’ she tells her daughter Julia, ‘like ink left about and knocked over.’

Julia resolves to find the Blackridge house: with her mother lonely and confused, would this, perhaps, bring some measure of closure? A journey begins that traverses family history, forgotten documents, old photographs, and the maps that stake out a country’s troubled past – maps whose boundaries nature remains determined to resist. Kind strangers, willing to assist in the search, lead to unexpected discoveries of ancestors and wars and lullabies. Folded into this quest are the tender conversations between a daughter and a mother who does not have long to live.

Taken as one, The Blackridge House is a meditation on belonging, of the stories we tell of home and family, of the precarious footprint of life.

Let go of perfect and become a transformative, positive influence in a child’s life while creating your own definition of success with this “wisdom-packed guide” from developmental psychologist and podcaster Dr. Aliza Pressman.

In the age of high-pressure parenting, when so many of us feel like we’ve got to get everything exactly right the first time, Dr. Aliza Pressman is the compassionate, reassuring expert we all need—and the one whose advice we can all use. Already beloved by listeners of the hit podcast, Raising Good Humans, Dr. Pressman distills it all with a handful of strategies every parent can use to get things right often enough: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair.

The 5 Principles of Parenting doesn’t presume to tell you how to parent with “my way is right” advice because the science is clear: There’s no one “right” way to raise good humans. No matter how you were raised, how your coparent behaves, or how your kids have been parented up until now, The 5 Principles of Parenting offers “accessible advice, reflective tools, and everyday parenting strategies” (Daniel Siegel, MD, New Your Times bestselling author) to chart a manageable course for raising good humans that’s aligned with your own values and with your own children’s unique temperaments.

Whether you’re in the trenches with a toddler or a tween (because spoiler alert: the tantrums of childhood mirror the tantrums of adolescence), it’s never too late to learn to use these 5 principles to reparent yourself and help your kids build the resilience they need to thrive. Through practice and normalizing imperfection, along the way you’ll discover the person you’re ultimately raising is yourself. By becoming more intentional people, we become better parents. By becoming better parents, we become better people. Let’s get started.

In a world of constant motion, where desires and dreams often feel just out of reach, “Yoshuku” offers a path to manifestation rooted in ancient Japanese wisdom and introduces you to the gentle power of collective intention and pre-celebration - a practice that not only shapes your future but uplifts those around you.

Azumi Uchitani, an internationally acclaimed cultural communicator, unveils the secrets of Yoshuku―a long-established Japanese approach to bringing your deepest wishes into reality. With the same quiet profundity found in concepts like wabi-sabi, Yoshuku teaches us that the key to manifesting lies not in relentless pursuit, but in mindful anticipation and shared joy.

In these pages, you'll discover:

- How to harness the power of collective energy to manifest your goals
- Ancient Japanese rituals seamlessly adapted for modern life
- The art of pre-celebration and its role in attracting positive outcomes
- Techniques to cultivate harmony between your desires and the world around you
- Ways to enrich not only your own life but the lives of those in your community

"Yoshuku" is more than a book―it's an invitation to slow down, tune into the rhythms of the universe, and gently guide your destiny. Whether you're familiar with manifestation techniques or new to the concept, this book will lead you to a more intentional, fulfilling life.

Embrace the Japanese art of manifesting and watch as your world transforms, one shared celebration at a time.
