Ben is ’n Indiaan, skatsoeker en kaskarbestuurder. Ben is sommer enigiets wat hy wil wees. En sy troeteldierskilpad gaan oral saam. Of hulle nou as dapper Indiane (skelmpies) Ben se ouboet se boomhuis gaan verken, of in die spruitjie gaan toets of Meneer Skillie nie dalk vinniger in die water is as op land nie ... Enige uitstappie is pret, en ’n wereld van avonture wag op hulle. Die stories is vanuit die seuntjie se perspektief vertel en is hartlik en snaaks.

Met sy nostalgiese songs het die Nederlandse sanger Stef Bos Suid-Afrikaanse gehore stormenderhand verower. Gebroke sinne is 'n versameling songs wat Afrikaanse poesie geword het. Eenvoudige, egte woorde wat tot die hart spreek.

Soos sy eerste bundel, Gebroke sinne, is JA! 'n kombinasie van Bos se woorde (noem dit gedigte, mymerings of woordlandskappe) in Nederlands en Afrikaans – hier in duet met beelde deur Eric de Bruijn. Ja! is die tweede publikasie uit Stef Bos se pen en vertoon heelwat ooreenkomste met sy eerste geskrewe projek, Gebroke sinne (2004). Soos wat Gebroke sinne deur Marianna Booyens geillustreer is, is die kunstenaar Eric de Bruijn by Ja! betrek. Die uitleg is ook eenders aan die van Gebroke sinne. In teenstelling egter met die vroeere publikasie wat volledig uit Nederlands in Afrikaans vertaal is, is Ja! grotendeels in Nederlands geskryf met enkele Afrikaanse tekste.

Nelson Mandela was called a terrorist, forced into hiding, captured, threatened with the death penalty and eventually thrown into jail for twenty-seven years, but nothing could stop him from fighting to liberate his country from the evil of apartheid. A hero in the struggle against a terrible regime, he never gave up. Even when he was a prisoner, he worked secretly with his comrades to undermine the oppressive apartheid government. This is the exciting true story of a young herd boy who was to grow up to become a lawyer, a freedom fighter, South Africa’s first democratically elected president and the beloved grandfather of a nation. It is told here in words and pictures for the young and the young at heart: a story to read with enjoyment and remember with pride.

When Anthony Bourdain died in 2018, fans around the globe came together to celebrate the life of an inimitable man.

Laurie Woolever, Bourdain's longtime assistant and confidante, has interviewed nearly a hundred of the people who shared Tony's orbit in order to piece together a remarkably full, vivid, and nuanced vision of Tony's life and work.

From his childhood and teenage days, to his early years in New York, through the genesis of his game-changing memoir Kitchen Confidential to his emergence into fame and notoriety, and in the words of friends and colleagues including Eric Ripert, José Andrés and Nigella Lawson, as well as his family, we see the many sides of Tony - his motivations, his ambivalence, his vulnerability, his blind spots, and his brilliance.

Deeply intimate, featuring a treasure trove of photos, Bourdain: In Stories is a testament to the life of a remarkable man in the words of the people who shared his world.

In vergeelde foto’s van drie dekades gelede staan oopgesigseuns vol bravade voor Ratel-gevegsvoertuie. Hierdie dienspligtiges van 61 Gemeganiseerde Bataljongroep staan aan die begin van hul reis diep in Angola in om vir volk en vaderland te gaan veg.

In ’n bloedige geveg op Valentynsdag 1988 en in die doodsakker by Tumpo sou hul jeugdige onskuld egter sneuwel. In die hitte van die gevegte kom die besef: Nou gaan dit nie oor ideologie nie, maar om oorlewing.

Ná die oorlog gaan die lewe voort, maar die vrae en geestelike letsels wyk nie. In 2018 keer ’n groep van dié ouddienspligtiges terug na Cuito Cuanavale op soek na afsluiting - en om die wrak te vind van die Ratel waarin ’n makker op die laaste dag van die oorlog gesterf het.

Die Brug vertel van hul reis van jong man na veteraan en gee ook ’n stem aan die vroue in hul lewe. Dit is ’n verhaal van ontnugtering, maar ook van trotse kameraderie en genesing.

Bart de Graaff is ’n Nederlandse historikus en joernalis wat ’n besonderse belangstelling in die Suid-Afrikaanse politiek en kultuur het. In 2015 en 2016 het hy verskeie besoeke aan Suid-Afrika en Namibie gebring. Sy oogmerk was om die nasate van die Khoi-Khoin, synde die eerste “ware mense” van die subkontinent, op te spoor, en aan die woord te stel. Hierdie boek is die resultaat van sy onderhoude. De Graaff kontekstualiseer nie net die geskiedenis van die Khoi-Khoin en haar vele vertakkings nie, maar stel ook bepaalde eietydse leiersfigure in die onderskeie gemeenskappe aan die woord. Daarvolgens word die historiese kyk na legendariese kapteins soos die Korannas se Goliat Yzerbek, die Griekwas se Adam Kok, die Basters se Dirk Vilander, Abraham Swartbooi van die Namas en Frederik Vleermuis van die Oorlams afgewissel met De Graaff se persoonlike reisindrukke en die talle gesprekke wat hy met die waarskynlike nasate van bogenoemde leiers gehad het. In sy onopgesmukte skryfstyl, vol deernis en humor, vertel De Graaff van hierdie ontmoetings en gesprekke en algaande kom die leser onder die indruk van die sistemiese geweld wat teen die Khoi-Khoin oor soveel eeue heen gepleeg is. Dit is ’n belangrike boek wat die geskiedenis en huidige stand van die bruin mense onder hulle landsgenote se aandag bring.

The first book by a Coca-Cola CEO tells the remarkable story of the company's revival.

Neville Isdell was a key player at Coca-Cola for more than thirty years, retiring in 2009 as Chairman after rebuilding the tarnished brand image of the world's leading soft-drink company. Inside Coca-Cola tells an extraordinary personal and professional worldwide story, ranging from Northern Ireland to South Africa to Australia, the Philippines, Russia, Germany, India and Turkey. Isdell helped put out huge public-relations fires (India and Turkey), opened markets (Russia, Eastern Europe, the Philippines, and Africa), championed Muhtar Kent, the current Turkish-American CEO, all while living the ideal of corporate responsibility.

Isdell's—and Coke's—story is newsy without being gossipy; principled without being preachy, and filled with stories and lessons appealing to anyone who has ever taken "the pause that refreshes." It's also a readable and important look at how companies can market and govern themselves more—ethically and to great success.

Maar daar is ook die sagter geluide van die Kalahari se wild, die springbokke, die groot elande en koedoes, die kiewiete, die sandpatryse en die sonbesies wie se skril stemme oor die rooi sand bewe. Vir die wat soek, wag daar immers 'n verrassing agter elke duin, so leer die Kalaharikind vroeg al.
