THE ORIGINAL HERO. A BRAND-NEW ADVENTURE.

Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times – battling monsters, Titans, even death himself – so graduating high school should be a breeze, right?

Wrong. Percy needs three recommendation letters from the gods before his final year in high school comes to an end. And one thing Percy knows, the gods on Mount Olympus don’t do anything for free.

To secure his second letter, Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover agree to a new quest – pet-sitting for the goddess Hecate while she’s away over Halloween. They just need to follow her simple rules:

1. Look after the pets like their lives depend on it (because they do)
2. Don’t touch anything – especially Hecate’s magic potions!
3. See points 1 and 2

When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own.

Dit is byna vier dekades ná Toorberg. Met ’n onverwagte trein kom Magistraat Imker Goedeman (wat destyds as jong man die afarmmagistraat van Toorberg, Abraham van der Ligt, in die gange van Bellville se landdroshof raakgeloop het) aan op Gebeente, ’n klein dorpie op die Vergete Grootpad noord van Sutherland. Die omgewing is geruk deur ’n opspraakwekkende plaasmoord, maar ’n nog komplekser saak moet ondersoek word: die diefstal van die melkweg...

Ons is hier in die buurt van onwaarskynlikhede en eindelik word die ganse regstelsel uitgedaag.

He’s also a much-admired figure in India and South Africa.

Alongside his mesmerising genius as a bowler, Shane has often been a controversial figure, and in this book he's talk with brutal honesty about some of the most challenging times in his life as a player. Honest, thoughtful, fearless and loved by millions, Shane is always his own man and this book is a testament to his brilliant career.

This book aims to give insight into managing people in organisations.

It emphasises the value of people and does not treat them as merely another organisational resource. It recognises that people are central to the organisation’s success but also appreciates that the dignity and rights of employees should be respected and their well-being promoted.

Furthermore, the management of people is positioned as a partnership between:

• line managers, who are directly responsible for managing the people reporting to them
• the top management team, who set the direction for the organisation and the tone for how to behave
• the HRM department and practitioners, who care for employees, advise line managers and manage the systems that support people management

"I believe we can change the world. But first, we've got to stop living in fear of being judged for who we are."

Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women not living into their full potential. They feel a tugging on their hearts for something more, but they're afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough.

In Girl, Stop Apologizing, #1 New York Times bestselling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people--whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee--instead of learning how to own who they are and what they want. With a challenge to women everywhere to stop talking themselves out of their dreams, Hollis identifies the excuses to let go of, the behaviors to adopt, and the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and believing in yourself.

Can racism and intimacy co-exist? Can love and friendship form and flourish across South Africa’s imposed colour lines?

Who better to engage on the subject of hazardous liaisons than the students with whom Jonathan Jansen served over seven years as Vice Chancellor of the University of the Free State. The context is the University campus in Bloemfontein, the City of Roses, the Mississippi of South Africa. Rural, agricultural, insular, religious and conservative, this is not a place for breaking out. But over the years, Jansen observed shifts in campus life and noticed more and more openly interracial friendships and couples, and he began having conversations with these students with burning questions in mind.

Ten interracial couples tell their stories of love and friendship in their own words, with no social theories imposed on their meanings, but instead a focus on how these students experience the world of interracial relationships, and how flawed, outdated laws and customs set limits on human relationships, and the long shadow they cast on learning, living and loving on university campuses to this day.
