At twelve years old, Kate Carey attends her aunt, Queen Anne Boleyn, to the scaffold. Horrified by what she witnesses, Kate is convinced that King Henry VIII has sent an innocent woman to a terrible death.

Bound by Boleyn blood, the two girls are like sisters, until Kate marries for love - and leaves a jealous Elizabeth behind. At court, Kate cannot ignore the sly looks thrown her way, nor the whispers behind her back. Only when her mother, Mary, lies dying, does she learn the life-shattering truth that the Boleyns have been hiding for years. It is a secret that will haunt Kate throughout her life, as her family flee into exile, only returning home when Elizabeth becomes queen. But the bond between the Boleyn cousins will never be the same again...
Mark Manson’s smash New York Times bestsellers The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and Everything is F*cked, now available together in one specially packaged box set. In his two groundbreaking books, celebrated anti-self-help authority Mark Manson shows us how to truly pursue a better life and gives us a better understanding of our world. The generation-defining self-help guide The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be “positive” and truly become better, happier people. Taking a much-needed, grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye approach, Mark Manson’s guide offers a dose of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor. Wise and genuine, it serves as a refreshing generational reset to help us all lead contented, grounded lives. In Everything Is F*cked, Manson shifts focus from overcoming individual flaws to the endless calamities occurring in the world around us. Drawing from the deep pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers, including Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He explores our relationships with money, entertainment, and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself, teaching us to see the world and ourselves differently.

Full of motivational and inspirational lessons, this book teaches us that we're all capable of becoming runners. Everyone is a runner, even if they've never stepped foot on a treadmill or a track. So says Chris Bennett, former college cross-country champion, University of North Carolina Running Coach, and current Nike Running Global Head Coach. With his positive, pop-culture laced, back to basics approach, Coach Bennett gets to the heart of how running can make you feel, why folks take to it, and how it can become a lifelong source of joy, confidence, and personal transformation. In this empowering and refreshingly honest guide, Coach Bennett strips away the pressure of pace, distance, and competition, focusing instead on the emotional and mental rewards of simply moving forward – in running and in life. Whether you're lacing up up for the first time or rediscovering your stride after years away, this book reminds you that running isn't about being the fastest – it's about showing up, being present, and learning to trust yourself with every step.
Real security law is where property law and credit law meet to regulate the rights that creditors have to property belonging to their debtors – either as agreed upon between the parties or as imposed by the law. Security rights facilitate affordable borrowing, investment in property and industry, and thus the promise of economic prosperity. Secured lenders are also empowered with stronger rights than other creditors and with more beneficial debt enforcement options. In our ever-changing economic and social context, a sophisticated system of law is necessary to maintain a fine balance between the rights of debtors, creditors, third parties and the general public – especially when things go wrong. Financial crises, rising consumer over-indebtedness and the fight against homelessness are but some important considerations that challenge this area of law. Real Security Law covers all of the conventional forms of real security, such as the mortgage of land, the pledge of movables, general and special notarial bonds, security cessions, the landlord’s tacit hypothec and rights of retention. It also includes security mechanisms imposed by statutes, for example municipal charges, embargo powers, the instalment-agreement hypothec and statutory pledges. The aim of this volume is to describe and analyse the current state of real security law in South Africa, starting with our common law foundation but with a particular focus on developments inspired by the Bill of Rights and other statutory and socio-economic changes in society. Therefore, the most recent developments in constitutional, statutory and case law are incorporated, and the aim is to strike a balance between legal theory, constitutional imperatives, commercial realities and the needs of practice.

Although hailed, alongside Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo, as one of the ANC’s holy trinity, Walter Sisulu has remained a relatively neglected figure in the historiography of the struggle for liberation in South Africa. Modest and unassuming, Sisulu was always content to stay in the background in a way that has belied his importance. This nuanced and highly original biography of Walter Sisulu, drafted by political historian Tom Lodge before his untimely death, provides a powerful corrective. Lodge pronounces Walter an exceptional organiser, the most influential planner of the ANC’s mass campaigning during the 1950s, a principled but undoctrinaire communist, and alongside Mandela an advocate of the necessity of armed struggle. He also served as the careful navigator of the ambiguous relationship between the ANC and Umkhontho we Sizwe, and Lodge details how Sisulu’s exceptional grasp of this enabled him to confound the prosecution when he later played a lead role as a defendant in the Rivonia trial. Sentenced to life imprisonment with his fellow trialists, Walter’s became a calming influence amidst the divisive ideological debates which took place on Robben Island, as well as a constant source of strength and support to Mandela. Then, after his release from jail – ahead of Mandela – in 1989, he again demonstrated his prowess as the chief organiser of the ANC as it re-established itself prior to the 1994 elections. In this powerful account of his life, completed by Roger Southall, Lodge provides the detailed analysis of his commitment and contribution to South African freedom that Walter Sisulu deserves.

The creator of the Polyvagal Theory explains the principles in simple terms that are accessible to all. Since Stephen Porges first proposed the Polyvagal Theory in 1994, its basic idea―that the level of safety we feel impacts our health and happiness―has radically shifted how researchers and clinicians approach trauma interventions and therapeutic interactions. Yet despite its wide acceptance, most of the writing on the topic has been obscured behind clinical texts and scientific jargon. Our Polyvagal World definitively presents how Polyvagal Theory can be understandable to all and demonstrates how its practical principles are applicable to anyone looking to live their safest, best, healthiest, and happiest life. What emerges is a worldview filled with optimism and hope, and an understanding as to why our bodies sometimes act in ways our brains wish they didn’t. Filled with actionable advice and real-world examples, this book will change the way you think about your brain, body, and ability to stay calm in a world that feels increasingly overwhelming and stressful.

Financial intelligence begins with financial literacy. And Robert Kiyosaki reminds us that "our minds are our greatest assets." Financial literacy gives you the tools to build your personal financial statement... which tells you the story about how you are managing your cash flow. The language of money can be confusing and intimidating. But, like it or not, “money”―in all of its shapes and forms―is a part of our daily lives. And the more we understand money, and the language of money, the more power we have over our future. Words are the most powerful tools you can possess. Challenge yourself―and your family―to master the language of money. The lessons in this book are simple ones and, like those in Rich Dad Poor Dad, they have guided me over the years. I learned that the path to wealth wasn’t about being obsessed with getting the high-paying job or striving for the next promotion and pay raise. I learned that my financial destiny was not dependent upon my boss, a pay raise, the company, the economy, or luck. I learned that I could be in control. |
