Grief is universal, but it's also as unique to each of us as the person we've lost. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, lonely, unreasonable, there when we least expect it and seemingly never-ending. Wherever you are with your grief and whoever you're grieving for, I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is here to support you. To tell you, until you believe it, that things will get easier. When bestselling writer Clare Mackintosh lost her five-week-old son, she searched for help in books. All of them wanted to tell her what she should be feeling and when she should be feeling it, but the truth - as she soon found out - is that there are no neat, labelled stages for grief, or crash grief-diets to relieve us of our pain. What we need when we're grieving is time and understanding. I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is the book she needed then. With 18 short assurances that are full of compassion - drawn from Clare's experiences of losing her son and her father - it's something you can turn to when you can barely concentrate, when you're looking for solace, when you're looking for hope, when you simply need to throw something across the floor, and when you need somebody to assure you, and to keep assuring you: I Promise it Won't Always Hurt Like This.
pace: the biggest geopolitical story of the coming century - new from the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography. Spy satellites orbiting the Moon. Space metals worth billions. Humans on Mars within our lifetimes. This isn't science fiction. It's astropolitics. We're entering a new space race - and it could revolutionise life on Earth. Space: the new frontier, a wild and lawless place. It is already central to communication, economics, military strategy and international relations on Earth. Now, it is the latest arena for human exploration, exploitation - and, possibly, conquest. We're heading up and out, and we're taking our power struggles with us.

With all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK's most popular writer on geopolitics, this gripping book shows how we got here and where we're going, covering great-power rivalry; technology; commerce; combat in space; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth.

The topic of wealth is divided into two sets of opposing solutions: the ones sold by smiling politicians who want your vote, and those quietly explained by entrepreneurs and businesses owners who have been through the mill and know what it takes to become extremely rich. Douglas Kruger, bestselling author of Is Your Thinking Keeping You Poor? and Poverty Proof, returns with his hardest-hitting book yet. This take-no-prisoners exploration of how money works will challenge you on everything you think you know while arming you with economically sound principles for growing your prosperity. No holds are barred when it comes to discussing how governments, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, keep people poor, and which deeply held belief systems promote poverty. The book explores and debunks all the accepted clichés, which are more dangerous than you might think. It also asks what sort of society becomes prosperous, and what political moves inhibit wealth-building for individuals. And then we get to the gold: you, and how you can think, act and plan in order to radically transform your own wealth potential. It may be a bumpy ride, but the information in this book will change your life, your wealth and your entire worldview about money. When the outcome is the rest of your life, will you choose destitution? Or will you learn how to escape generational cycles of poverty and become a self-made, first-generation millionaire?

Criminal Law in South Africa 4e offers a clear, comprehensive and applied explanation of the principles of criminal law in South Africa. This fourth edition text is revised and updated to reflect the extensive developments in South African- and international criminal law during the recent period. The text addresses the general principles of criminal law, as well as the elements of specific common law crimes and statutory offences. It includes discussion of organised and commercial crime, and international criminal law, as well as a chapter that broadly outlines the South African criminal procedure system. Legal theory is presented in light of the influence of the Bill of Rights, comparative law perspectives, international and transnational law, and the emerging decolonisation debate. A wealth of discussion points within the text offer critical perspective and analysis of moot and contentious issues. In a critical yet accessible manner, the text considers various developments that affect law reform, for example: constitutional aspects of the disciplinary chastisement of children, consent in the context of sexual offences, youth as a factor in determining criminal capacity, the scope of the crime of public violence, and the impact of cyber criminality on general principles and specific offences. Designed to support understanding, the text succinctly explains criminal law principles with numerous case illustrations, and balances theoretical depth with a focus on the application of principles. This approach is supported by an annexure that demonstrates a methodology for solving problems in criminal law. Criminal Law in South Africa 4e serves as core material for courses in criminal law, at the undergraduate level of the LLB programme. Additional teaching presentation and assessment resources are available to support teaching and learning.
