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.
A variety of practical gardening topics in handy small-format books that can be kept by one’s side while working in the garden. The series was inspired by the author’s numerous visits and lecture tours to gardening clubs across the country. With South Africa’s variable climate and topography, each region presents its own set of unique challenges that make gardening a truly specialist hobby. But in spite of these problems, almost every South African town boasts exquisite gardens. This series aims to inspire and equip gardeners across the country with the knowledge and know-how to create a beautiful garden of their own. In each book the secrets of successful gardening are summarised in ten key concepts. Planned topics in the series include:
In 'n klein tuin is dit noodsaaklik dat die ruimte deeglik beplan en ook goed versorg word. Omdat 'n mens met 'n beperkte area te doen het, verander die ontwerp beginsels ietwat, en kundige, praktiese gebruik van die beskikbare ruimte is dus essensieel. So kan 'n tuinpaadjie deel uitmaak van die spasie rondom die swembad, en as dit 'n bietjie breer gemaak word, is dit sommer terselfdertyd ook 'n bruikbare patio. Net so kan 'n klein swembad ook 'n water verfraaiing wees. As die woonplek se boustyl geometries en hoekig is, is reguit lyne verkieslik, tensy die beskikbare ruimte voldoende is vir kurwes. 'n Mens kan plante van verskillende hoogtes langs 'n skutmuur plant, en 'n houer met kleurvolle teen 'n kantmuur kan 'n swembad of visdam interessant laat lyk. 'n Sitplek wat natuurlik by die plante in die tuin inskakel, maak te veel meubels op die patio self onnodig. 'n Kussing wat spesiaal vir die sitplek gemaak word is boonop gerieflik en sorg vir 'n spatseltjie bykomende kleur. 'n Klein tuintjie moet te alle tye onberispelik lyk juis omdat dit nie groot is nie. Dan kan 'n mens dit n sy geheel dwarsdeur die jaar geniet. Die geheim is om houers en beddings altyd kleurvol te hou, hetsy met blomme of loof van verskillend kleure. U plaaslike tuinsentrum sal u met raad en daad bystaan sodat u klein tuin die hele jaar lank 'n lushof kan wees. Onthou dat plante, net soos mense, kos en water nodig het, asook nuwe potgrond en kompos en selfs 'n vars laag bogrond. Geniet u tuin en mag die hoofstukke in hierdie titel wat handel oor ontwerp, instandhouding, peste en siektes, houerplante en die reeks plante wat vir klein tuine geskik is, u nie net inspireer om tuin te maak nie, maar u ook jare van vreugde in u tuin verseker.

The ancient Greeks trained in the nude in the gymnasium and also competed in the buff in the Olympic Games – they literally had skin in the game. The ancient Greek word for gymnasium – gumnasia – means to train naked. However, the ancient Greek gyms were not just for physical training but also had dedicated spaces for intellectual exercise, for philosophy, teaching and conversation. To train naked is to show up just as you are – no pretences, no masks, no BS. We train to compete, we practise in order to nail a presentation. We should also be training to become better human beings, to craft meaningful lives, do work that matters, and to thrive in chaos. Pierre du Plessis’s daily reflections, meditations and practices presented in this book are a call to train naked, to practise for the ultimate marathon, and to have skin in the game. Train Naked is a curated selection of short reflections – prompts to get skin in the game – on building a meaningful life and doing work that matters. Combined with a selection of ancient practices, such as meditation, Pierre’s thoughts and ideas aim to inspire each reader to take charge, to try, to act, to learn and to do.

“Becoming a mother has been my deepest desire. But it’s not happening. Now what?” Through her very open and honest first-hand account of her seven-year struggle to conceive, titled Abundantly Empty, Cathy hopes to help remove the stigma, improve understanding and provide inspiration to others on how to cope and keep moving forward. Abundantly Empty delves deep into the world of infertility and offers an insightful 360-degree perspective, with informative contributions from leading fertility specialists, including Professor Thabo Matsaseng, and her clinical psychologist, as well as input from her husband Julian, family and friends. The egg donors and surrogates share their experiences too. In clear, direct ‘journal’ language, the book traces the highs and lows, the elation and intense grief of the infertility rollercoaster. It also explores its impact on Cathy’s marriage, her friendships and her career. The primary reason for writing this book, Cathy says, was to send a ‘You are not alone’ message to other couples battling to start a family, to break the silence and increase understanding of what it takes to survive infertility and retain hope, courage and meaning. Abundantly Empty is an emotionally gripping, heart-warming and useful must-read not just for those on the fertility journey, but also for those on the sidelines who want to provide support, but don’t know how.

Die skrywer se eerste boek, Vandag se sekretaresse (Human & Rousseau, 1988), was gebaseer op ontelbare kantore, kollegas en werkgewers waarmee sy tydens 'n elektroniese revolusie te doen gekry het. Daar was wêreldwye bekommernis oor of die sekretaresse met moderne kantoortoerusting vervang sou kon word. Nou is daar weer wêreldwye onsekerheid tydens 'n pandemie waar vetsug lewensgevaarlik is. My laaste dieet is die memoires van 'n smullende skaalslaaf. Ná 'n lewenslange stryd en ervaring van vraatsug, gepaard met kennis en ondervinding van 'n magdom diëte, beskou die skrywer haarself as die Koningin van Diëte.

Over 2 000 years ago Hippocrates wrote: "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food. Each one of the substances in a man's diet, acts upon his body and changes it in some way, and upon these changes his whole life depends, whether he be in health, in sickness or convalescent. To be sure, there can be little knowledge more necessary."

More than 150 common and lesser-known vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices and other food plants that are the building blocks of good health are described in full, covering aspects such as: the plant's history and origin; instructions on how to grow the plant; medicinal uses and major nutrients; ideas on how to include the plant in the diet, along with recipes; cosmetic and household uses and other interesting facts and hints. The book concludes with an extensive A-Z list of ailments, with information on which danger foods to avoid and which superfoods, supplements and other therapies to consider to bring relief for each of the more than 100 common ailments discussed. This book is essential reading for each of us in our quest for health and energy in an increasingly stress-filled world. |
