When British geologists discover the world's largest oil reserves under the desolate, icy tundra of Antarctica, Britain and Chile form a top-secret alliance for control of petroleum resources that will rival the economic power of OPEC.

But when their discovery is uncovered by an Argentinean intelligence officer, a surprise-attack against a secret British outpost in Antarctica triggers a war. Britain and Chile are in a military standoff against Venezuela and Argentina, and when the war escalates, Britain asks America for help.

For two couples separated by the battle, the outcome will be either love reunited or devastating heartbreak.

For a young British boy living with his mother in London, his father s life is on the line.

And for Pete Miranda, an American sub commander detailed on a special military assignment to his father's homeland of Chile, will his fate be a crushing death under the icy-cold waters of the Antarctic Ocean, or a future of life, light, and a second chance for love?

. . . the realistic scenes of submarine warfare and daring escapes, along with family, love, and romance make this a surefire hit for fans of military, war, and suspense novels. CBA Retailers and Resources"

Nadia moet haar oorlede tweelingsussie se baba teen ’n dwelmsindikaat beskerm wanneer die halfmiljoen rand wat haar suster en swaer aan hul verskuldig is, geëis word. In die proses verwar die sindikaat vir Nadia met haar sussie en sy besluit om te vlug.

Sy gaan skuil saam met die baba op ’n plattelandse dorpie by ‘n gastehuis terwyl haar broer meer oor die sindikaat uitvind. Hier ontmoet sy die aantreklike Ewan wat die gastehuis besoek vir besigheid, maar Nadia is dadelik versigtig vir hom.

Nadia leer Ewan ken terwyl hy by die gastehuis bly en aanbied om bietjie instandhoudingswerk te doen. Net as sy hom amper begin vertrou wonder sy of hy nie tóg ’n verskuilde agenda het nie. Is hy moontlik self by die sindikaat betrokke?

Libbi de Lange is die langste meisie in die kontrei. In die hele wye wêreld, of so voel dit vir haar. Die lewe werk rof met iemand wat nie by die gewone inpas nie; die neiging is mos oral om die kop af te kap van ’n papawer wat aanhou uitstyg. As jy dan nog die dogter is van ’n pastoor van ’n volksvreemde kerk in die Knysnabosse, is die verleentheid groot en die hoop min.

Die nuwe millennium is op pad, die vrees vir die Y2K-virus ’n werklikheid. Libbi moet trou, en gou ook sodat sy die gespot oor haar van kan agterlaat. Nogal moeilik as jou dansmaat se kop deur jou boobs verswelg word.

Dis Flooze, haar kamermaat op universiteit, wat Libbi leer om haar eie identiteit te omarm en uitdagend anders te wees, om uit die soetkoekblik te klim. Die verlange na liefde bly egter knaag, die honger van die lyf ook. Toe word sy maar mevrou Libbi Landman – en sit steeds met ’n honger vir 51% meer as wat sy gekry het. Boonop vergemaklik haar vriend Beer se huiwering op haar drumpel glad nie sake nie.

R370 R296 Discovery Miles 2 960 Save R74 (20%) In Stock

What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? The year is coming to a close and Asle, an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only friends are his neighbour, Asleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjorgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgangers - two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions about life, death, love, light and shadow, faith and hopelessness. Written in melodious and hypnotic 'slow prose', The Other Name: Septology I-II is an indelible and poignant exploration of the human condition by Jon Fosse, 'a major European writer' (Karl Ove Knausgaard), in which everything is always there, and past and present flow together.

Written in a fast-paced thriller style, The Goal, a gripping novel, is transforming management thinking throughout the world. It is a book to recommend to your friends in industry—even to your bosses—but not to your competitors.

Alex Rogo is a harried plant manager working ever more desperately to try improve performance. His factory is rapidly heading for disaster. So is his marriage. He has ninety days to save his plant—or it will be closed by corporate HQ, with hundreds of job losses. It takes a chance meeting with a professor from student days—Jonah—to help him break out of conventional ways of thinking to see what needs to be done. The story of Alex’s fight to save his plant is more than compulsive reading. It contains a serious message for all managers in industry and explains the ideas, which underline the Theory of Constraints (TOC), developed by Eli Goldratt.

One of Eli Goldratt’s convictions was that the goal of an individual or an organization should not be defined in absolute terms. A good definition of a goal is one that sets us on a path of ongoing improvement.

Pursuing such a goal necessitates more than one breakthrough. In fact it requires many. To be in a position to identify these breakthroughs we should have a deep understanding of the underlying rules of our environment. Twenty-five years after writing The Goal, Dr. Goldratt wrote “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.” In this article he provided the underlying rules of operations. This article appears at the end of this book.

The 30th Anniversary edition represents the first time the narrative in The Goal has been substantially updated. Goldratt’s Five Focusing Steps have been added, and his essay, “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants,” is included. The Fortune Small Business interviews (known by some as the “case studies”) that appeared in the 20th and 25th Anniversary editions have been removed from the book, but are available on this website.
