Into You" will recharge and inspire your dating outlook one wake-up
call at a time.
For ages women have come together over coffee, cocktails, or
late-night phone chats to analyze the puzzling behavior of men.
Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo are here to say that -- despite good
intentions -- you're wasting your time. Men are not complicated,
although they'd like you to think they are. And there are no mixed
messages.
The truth may be, "He's just not that into you."
"He's Just Not That Into You" -- based on a popular episode of
"Sex and the City" -- educates otherwise smart women on how to tell
when a guy just doesn't like them "enough, " so they can stop
wasting time making excuses for a dead-end relationship. This book
knows you're a beautiful, smart, funny woman who deserves better
Has this ever happened to you? You're reading Romeo and Juliet but
you keep getting frustrated because there's no bank heists and
barely any surfing. You're halfway through watching Point Break on
your laptop when you slam it shut, shouting "this doesn't even
rhyme!" You're trying to hold a copy of a Shakespeare play and your
Point Break DVD in the same hand so you can pick up a cup of coffee
with your other hand but they don't fit together and they slip out
of your hand so you try to catch them with your other hand but that
spills coffee all over your white t-shirt and the play and the DVD
and the cup hit your toe and you cry out in pain but then you
glance at the title of the play and it's Much Ado About Nothing
which just adds insult to injury so you throw your head to the
heavens and scream "there has to be a better way!" Well now there
is. Point Break and Shakespeare, together at last.
Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting
plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent
Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell
was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he
became increasingly concerned about the impact of development,
pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The
Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way
ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues
are in the mainstream and have become a global priority. Although
the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking
Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to
convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He
also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress.
Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society
was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and,
as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the
artist.
In book 1b of the Dung Beetle Learning series, Mummy takes John and
Susan out of their local school to be re-educated at home, and
introduce to their young minds a new, alternative world view. In
order to do so, mummy will ground all learning in a feelings-based
outlook, free of any actual facts or skills, and re-evaluate core
subjects such as mathematics, religion, philosophy and art.
Die geliefde dominee Barend Vos se sketse oor die lewe van ’n predikant en sy gesin in ’n plattelandse gemeente het tot op hede in vyf bundels verskyn. Dié sketse verskyn die afgelope tien jaar elke maand in die tydskrif LIG, met illustrasies deur Fred Mouton.
In Liefdegroete, Grootseun word ’n dertigtal van Vos se Grootseun-stukke wat die afgelope jare in Lig verskyn het, byeen gebring as keur van die meer as 100 wat sedert sy laaste versameling verskyn het. Elke rubriek word aangebied as ’n brief wat deur “Grootseun” geskryf word aan sy ouers. Die sketse het meestal ’n sterk humoristiese aanslag en gefokus op ’n plattelandse kerkgemeenskap waarvolgens “Grootseun” die Jongdominee van die gemeente is. Die ruimte is dus plattelands, kerklik en geskryf met ’n deernisvolle aanbod wat eie is aan Vos se skryfstyl.
