The price of love is loss.
We all pay it eventually. . .
Some moments are too painful to be endured, and some moments will break
you if you let them.
And yet I can’t afford to let anything break me. Because we have one
chance to win this war. One chance to create a better life for everyone
across the four kingdoms.
Even as our enemies ally with each other, and our own allies are forced
to betray their kingdoms, their people . . . and themselves.
And even as Regner plans something so cruel, so wholly evil, he’s
poised to douse the last remaining spark of hope in this world.
Unless we kill him first.
An inspirational new collection on turning tragedy into triumph by
Holocaust survivor and multi-million copy bestselling author of Man's
Search for Meaning.
During his lifetime, world renowned psychiatrist and Auschwitz survivor
Viktor Frankl had an unshakably optimistic outlook on life. He believed
that regardless of circumstance, we can all find meaning and fulfilment
in our lives, even in the face of great adversity.
But how much influence do we have on shaping our own lives? How do we
seize opportunities and create a meaningful life? And in doing so, can
we still respect the dignity of others and tolerate all views?
Published in English for the first time, Embracing Hope shows that by
exercising our freedoms, we have a duty and responsibility to
ourselves, to others and to the world around us. This collection of
timeless lessons offers hope and consolation, admonition and warning,
and reveals how to turn tragedy into triumph and lead a fulfilled,
purposeful life.
Gaan hulle mekaar vind of vernietig?
Lucas Jordaan sluit sy bosveldlodge naby Hoedspruit nadat sy meisie
onder raaiselagtige omstandighede verdwyn. Dan stop joernalis Renske du
Toit voor Jagtersrus se hekke, gestuur deur ’n reistydskrif om oor die
lodge te skryf.
Die aantrekking tussen hulle is dadelik tasbaar, al probeer albei dit
ontken. Maar wanneer Renske begin stories hoor van die
duiwel-in-die-bos wat glo sy eks uit die weg geruim het, ontdek sy ’n
donker kant aan Lucas wat haar bang maak, maar ook bedwelm.
Intussen duik nog onheilspellende raaisels op. Wat steek hy vir haar
weg? Hoekom waarsku almal haar oor hom? Wat beteken die hangertjie om
sy nek? En wie stuur vir hom gedurig kriptiese, dreigende boodskappe?
Hoe meer Renske hom leer ken, hoe sterker haar aangetrokkenheid, maar
ook hoe groter die gevaar. Gaan hulle mekaar in hierdie waaghalsige
stryd vol begeerte vind of vernietig?
Droomjagter is ’n erotiese spanningsverhaal vol kinkels wat jou om meer
as een rede uitasem sal laat.
A celebration of the rich diversity and beauty of indigenous trees, The
Ways and Wonders of South African Trees uncovers the fascinating world
of trees and how they function.
Presented in two parts, the first explores the physiology and behaviour
of trees and the second the grandeur of a select number of species,
richly supported by photographs.
A comprehensive introduction focuses on the complex life of trees,
uncovering how they grow, compete for water, defend themselves and make
use of photosynthesis to survive; their role in pollination; and the
symbiotic relationships they have with each other and other life forms.
Record-breakers such as the oldest, tallest and biggest trees are also
featured.
The second half of the book showcases some 160 conspicuous species,
including the iconic baobab, sausage tree and mopane tree, as well as
lesser-known but interesting trees such as baboon’s breakfast. These
accounts describe the unique traits of different trees and their
various parts, and discusses how they are used by animals and birds,
and by humans.
‘What are you thinking about?’
‘I think I might have killed someone’
How far would you go to protect the ones you love?
Two car accidents take place on the same night, on the same stretch of
twisting valley road. One is fatal, and six friends’ lives will never
be the same. Only two of them know what really happened that night –
and one will stop at nothing to get to the truth.
When your life is on the line, who can you really trust?
How did Tiger Woods become the greatest of all time?
And how did he fall so spectacularly?
Tiger Woods is unrivalled as an athlete. He made the ultimate
commitment to his chosen sport - and transformed it.
Before the age of twenty-five, he rose to phenomenon status: twice
named 'Sportsman of the Year' by Sports Illustrated, champion of more
than thirty professional tournaments and the youngest player to win all
four Grand Slam tournaments.
Tiger, Tiger taps into the transformative moments of Woods's life,
revealing in vivid, dramatic scenes what he saw and felt on the course
and in his inner life - from his only 'perfect' shot to his missed
first putt at the 1995 Masters through his recent comeback tours.
Through a compelling series of original interviews, passionate golfer
James Patterson and golf reporter Peter de Jonge get inside the
impossible mystery of a global star.
Change and innovation are the cornerstones of dynamic and modern
business.
Or so we are told.
Whether it’s a merger or re-org; a new process, policy, or IT
“solution”; or reconfiguring the office layout, change has become the
ultimate easy button for leaders, who pursue it with abandon and
thereby unleash an endless torrent of disruption on employees. The
result is life in the blender: a perpetual state of upheaval,
uncertainty, and unease.
Yes, companies need to grow, innovate, and adapt to changing needs. But
stressed-out employees rarely go the extra mile, chaos rarely produces
agility or speed, and it’s hard innovate or grow while bleeding talent
to turnover and quiet quitting. This is how change stymies the very
progress that it seeks.
Drawing on decades spent leading HR operations at Deloitte and Cisco,
Ashley Goodall explores the essential nature of human performance and
offers a radical new alternative to the constant turbulence that
defines corporate life. By prioritizing team cohesion (instead of
reshuffling teams at will), by communicating in real words (rather than
corporate speak), by striving for predictability (instead of charisma),
by honoring shared rituals (instead of corporately-mandated bonding),
by fixing only the things that are truly broken (instead of moving fast
and breaking everything in sight) and more, leaders at every level can
create environments that allow people to do the best work of their
lives.
If she wasn’t dead already, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment.
She’s entered the afterlife wearing the sort of pyjamas you don’t want
anyone to see and finds herself face-to-face with the most handsome man
she’s ever encountered. And he’s smiling at her.
As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise – until
someone comes running out of a door, yelling something about a huge
mistake, and sends the dreamy stranger back down to earth.
In a twist of fate, Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return
to her previous life and reconnect with the mysterious man she’s sure
is her soulmate.
The challenge? She only has ten days to find him.
Ten days to make him fall for her.
Oh, and he has no recollection of them ever having met…
Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Fairhill, Vermont.
The teenagers get their kicks telling ghost stories in the old
graveyard. The parents trust their kids will arrive home safe from
school. Everyone knows everyone. Curtains rarely twitch. Front doors
are left unlocked.
But this morning all of that will change.
Because Diana Brewer isn’t lying safely in her bed where she belongs.
Instead she lies in a hayfield, circled by vultures, discovered by a
local farmer.
How quickly a girl becomes a ghost. How quickly a town of friendly,
familiar faces becomes a town of suspects, a place of fear and paranoia.
Someone in Fairhill did this. Everyone wants answers.
And one innocent question could be deadly.
