Selfies, Sexts, and Smartphones is the book every teenager (and their parents) should read. At least, that was true seven years ago. The digital world moves at breakneck speed. Today’s teens have to navigate AI, deep fakes, misinformation, and so much more. Meanwhile, the law struggles to keep up, leaving plenty of hidden legal pitfalls. If fully developed adult brains struggle with it, what hope does a teenager’s freshly baked prefrontal cortex have?

Enter Rorke and Emma. Emma is a continental digital-law specialist, and Rorke, an elder Gen Z, has the lived experience teens can relate to. Together, they break down the digital world’s biggest challenges and help teens to exist consciously – and, hopefully, safely – online. This book covers every topic: new laws, cyberbullying, sexting, sextortion, addiction, online safety, deep fakes, mental health, privacy, reputation, misinformation, scams, AI, ChatGPT, plagiarism, and much more – all in a South African context.

With real-life case studies from Emma’s work and unfortunate anecdotes from Rorke’s life in the digital trenches, we help today’s youth reap the benefits of the internet without ever needing to call the Digital Law Company.

The four survivors from the most recent Woodsboro Ghostface killings have moved to New York City for a fresh start.

Just as they begin to feel a sense of normalcy, they receive that infamous call. Ghostface is more brutal and relentless than ever and will stop at nothing to hunt them down.

Het jy jou geloof verloor of het dit gegroei en verander? Is daar ander maniere om te dink oor waarheid, God, die Bybel en kerk as die tradisionele manier?

Vandag se mense wil nie in allerhande dogmatiese belydenisskrifte vir antwoorde krap nie en die kerk beïndruk hulle beslis nie. Dikwels stap mense weg van hulle jarelange geloof. Dit is nie ’n klein, maklike besluit nie.

Hierdie boek is nie veronderstel om vol antwoorde te wees nie, dit is ’n gids op jou geloofsreis. Dit wys dat daar ’n ander manier is om te dink oor geloof, God en godsdiens. Dit is ’n uitnodiging om vrae te vra en te twyfel, te stoei en teen God se bors te slaan. Want Hy is daar en Hy bestaan en Hy het jou oneindig lief.

Auschwitz Lullaby brings to life the story of Helene Hannemann—a woman who sacrificed everything for family and fought furiously for the children she hoped to save.

On an otherwise ordinary morning in 1943, Helene Hannemann is preparing her five children for the day when the German police arrive at her home. Helene’s worst fears come true when the police, under strict orders from the SS, demand that her children and husband, all of Romani heritage, be taken into custody. Though Helene is German and safe from the forces invading her home, she refuses to leave her family—sealing her fate in a way she never could have imagined.

After a terrifying trek across the continent, Helene and her family arrive at Auschwitz and are thrown into the chaos of the camp. Her husband, Johann, is separated from them, but Helene remains fiercely protective of her children and those around her. When the powers-that-be discover that Helene is not only a German but also a trained nurse, she is forced into service at the camp hospital, which is overseen by the notorious Dr. Mengele himself.

Helene is under no illusions in terms of Dr. Mengele’s intentions, but she agrees to cooperate when he asks her to organize a day care and school for the Romani children in the camp. Though physically and emotionally brutalized by the conditions at Auschwitz, Helene musters the strength to protect the children in her care at any cost. Through sheer force of will, Helene provides a haven for the children of Auschwitz—an act of kindness and selflessness so great that it illuminates the darkest night of human history.

Based on a true story, Mario Escobar’s Auschwitz Lullaby demonstrates the power of sacrifice and the strength of human dignity—even when all hope seems lost.

Theodora Morgan is fashion royalty. Founder of a wildly popular online shopping service, she is one of the most successful businesswomen in the world, although she prefers to keep a low profile, especially in recent months. It was a year ago when the unthinkable struck her family: her husband, industry mogul Matthieu Pasquier, and their son were kidnapped and held for ransom - a nightmare that ended in tragedy. The case has gone cold, despite evidence linking the crime to Matthieu's Russian competitors. Theo has reluctantly gone back to work running her company.

A powerful historical drama about a young woman’s fight to chart her own destiny, challenging norms for women of the time, from billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel.

Born in Paris in 1900, at the dawn of a new century, Alexandra Bouvier was raised believing that, with hard work and dedication, she can achieve anything. But when World War One erupts across Europe, coupled with the fast-spreading Spanish flu, Alex’s world is upended, and by age eighteen, she has already suffered unimaginable losses.

Bravely setting sail for a new life in America, Alex is taken in by her last living relative, her American grandfather. He owns a small but respected Illinois newspaper, and agrees with her modern ideas, despite the restrictions imposed on women of the time.

By doing so, Alex is not only following her own dreams, but changing history for other women of her day, and all those who will come after her.

Being a successful entrepreneur in the 21st century involves more than enthusiasmand a good eye for a new opportunity.

In some settings, such as Ireland, contiguous Catholic and Protestant states are often not conducive to good relations or neighbourliness. In colonial and imperial southern Africa, formal inter-state arrangements took place at the expense of a third party - subjected African peoples.

Three Wise Monkeys explores some of the contradictions, silences and oversights, and working misunderstandings that arise when an emerging Anglophone, Protestant, industrial and urbanising state - South Africa - develops side by side with Mozambique - a Lusophone, Catholic, commercial, rural colony.

In three volumes, Charles van Onselen examines the intertwined relations between South Africa and Portugal's chronically weak east coast colony, as expressed through the migrant labour system, the tourist trade, the rise and fall of LM Radio and the extraordinary tale of the Lourenço Marques Lottery. These areas constituted zones of cross-cultural, transnational interaction that both states were reluctant to acknowledge formally, choosing instead to 'see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil' for much of the 20th century.

Three Wise Monkeys presents a startling new way of viewing the entangled, often hidden, economic, political and social dynamics that informed the rise of 20th-century South Africa, often at the expense of neighbouring Mozambique.

The volumes are:

• Volume 1: The Makings Of An African Economic Tragedy - Mozambique, circa 1500-1960
• Volume 2: Through The Turnstiles Of The Mind - White South Africans and the Freedoms Of Mozambique, circa 194-1975
• Volume 3: The Quest For Wealth Without Work - The Lourenco Marques Lottery, Protestant Panics and the South African White Working Classes , circa 1890-9165

#FeesMustFall, the student revolt that began in October 2015, was an uprising against lack of access to, and financial exclusion from, higher education in South Africa. More broadly, it radically questioned the socio-political dispensation resulting from the 1994 social pact between big business, the ruling elite and the liberation movement.

The 2015 revolt links to national and international youth struggles of the recent past and is informed by Black Consciousness politics and social movements of the international Left. Yet, its objectives are more complex than those of earlier struggles. The student movement has challenged the hierarchical, top-down leadership system of university management and it’s ‘double speak’ of professing to act in workers’ and students’ interests yet enforce a regressive system for control and governance. University managements, while one one level amenable to change, have also co-opted students into their ranks to create co-responsibility for the highly bureaucratised university financial aid that stand in the way of their social revolution.

This book maps the contours of student discontent a year after the start of the #FeesMustFall revolt. Student voices dissect coloniality, improper compromises by the founders of democratic South Africa, feminism, worker rights and meaningful education. In-depth assessments by prominent scholars reflect on the complexities of student activism, its impact on national and university governance, and offer provocative analyses of the power of the revolt.

Willem Pretorius is een van ons voorste skilders wat die Suid-Afrikaanse platteland vasvat met soortgelyke patos as Walter Meyer, aan wie alle skilders in hierdie genre hulde bring. Sy skilderye is amper foto-realisties maar inspireer tog ʼn sekere gevoel van nostalgie na ʼn verlore onskuld, na die sogenaamde goeie ou dae wat nie vir almal goed was nie. Daar is ook ʼn afstandelikheid, ʼn gebrek aan kommentaar: Die landskap spreek vir homself.

Die boek bevat kleurafdrukke, professioneel gefotografeer, van sy 50 jongste werke, ʼn goeie mengsel van sy gebruiklike onderwerpe: huise, treine, versaakte swembaddens, landskappe, ou karre en gekrokte bakkies, plattelandse winkels, huise en dorpstonele, ensovoorts.

Elke skildery is begelei deur ʼn skryfsel van ʼn bekende skrywer, musikant, digter of skilder. Dis nie ʼn beskrywing of tegniese ontleding van die skildery nie, eerder vry assosiasie, ʼn kort kortverhaal, ʼn herinneringskets. Elk is ongeveer 500 woorde en beslaan dus nie meer as een bladsy nie; die bladsy langs die skildery wat dit geïnspireer het.

There is a growing awareness in the global business environment of the importance of managing the supply side, also referred to as the input side, of an organisation or supply chain as a strategically important area. South African managers are certainly also aware of the potential of the supply side to contribute to strategic competitive advantage in an increasingly difficult and competitive business environment. This seventh edition of Purchasing and supply management provides contemporary insights into this dynamic field. Purchasing and supply management introduces current concepts and management tools to make purchasing and supply management more efficient in functioning within the broader concept of supply chain management. It covers not only basic principles, but also the activities incumbent on a purchasing and supply manager. It addresses the relationships between purchasing and concepts such as strategic sourcing, and areas of application. This new edition has been comprehensively updated and includes case studies and multiple choice questions. It is student friendly, while at the same time remaining a valuable aid to the purchasing fraternity in South African business. Some of the more prominent topics that are included in this edition are the following: Purchasing and supply policies and strategies; Purchasing price determination and cost analysis; Evaluation and selection of suppliers; The management of quality; Sustainability in purchasing and supply; Supplier development; Electronic commerce and electronic procurement applications Purchasing and supply management is aimed at students in this field as well as practitioners in business. The editors of this standard South African text, Prof. Hannie Badenhorst-Weiss, Dr Orpha Cilliers, Ms Winnie Dlamini and Prof. Marcus Ambe, obtained valuable contributions from authors from a number of institutions.

Although the theory is based on material used in the USA and other overseas universities, South African students will be able to identify with the local examples, TV programmes and other mass media, and the political and social experiences referred to in this title, many of which have been localised to reflect the South African context. Beginner students majoring in communication studies as well as those who are studying towards various degrees or qualifications where communication is a prerequisite, will find this title useful. In addition to interpersonal, group and mass communication, there is an extensive chapter on public speaking, which takes into account that many professionals today have to address their colleagues and business associates in order to succeed in their profession. Public speaking in this sense is a skill required by most graduates in any job or profession, and the chapter is pitched at these requirements as well as at speaking to larger audiences. The title is divided into two parts. The first provides students with a strong foundation of communication, while the second focuses on the areas of specialisation within communication studies. In addition, each chapter starts with the learning outcomes and a short overview of the chapter. Students may monitor their learning with the summaries and 'test yourself' questions at the end of every chapter. Scenarios provide examples of how the theory can be applied in practice.
