Suid-Afrika se ontsaglike diversiteit – van Pofadder, eMkhuze en Haenertsburg tot Cookhouse, Klipplaat, Maokeng en Taung –is wat mens besiel om die pad te vat en die land te verken.

Hierdie volledig hersiene en bygewerkte uitgawe van Op Pad in Suid-Afrika het ’n vars, kontemporere voorkoms, maar bevat al die kenmerke wat dit so ’n klassieke werk maak. Die vorige twee uitgawes het ’n spesiale plek in die harte van Suid-Afrikaners, en dit is maklik om te sien waarom: geen ander reisgids op die mark bied sulke omvattende en diepgaande inligting oor die dorpies, dorpe en stede van hierdie land nie, en ook nie oor die interessante en insiggewende stories wat hulle vertel nie.

Die 37 hoofstukke is in ’n logiese volgorde gerangskik wat by Kaapstad begin en daarvandaan uitkring. Elke hoofstuk handel oor ’n gevestigde en samehangende geografiese of demografiese gebied. Duidelike, gedetailleerde streekkaarte met bygewerkte plekname is ingesluit en word aangevul deur roete-aanwysings in die teks. Die boek bied iets vir almal – of dit die lieflike groen valleie van die Kaapse hinterland, die uitgestrekte vlaktes van die Karoo, die kulturele en skilderagtige diversiteit van die Tuinroete en Wildekus, die geskiedkundige slagvelde van KwaZulu-Natal, die wildryke Laeveld of die natuurwonders van die Bosveld is wat jou lok.

Met die nuut hersiene en bygewerkte teks en meer as 500 foto’s bevat Op Pad in Suid-Afrika ’n verstommende rykdom inligting, wat dit die perfekte reisbeplanner en reisgenoot maak.

Met kaarte en geografiese grense sal mens wel kan bepaal waar le die Tankwa-Karoo. maar vir Adriaan Oosthuizen kry jy die streek wanneer jy die langste grondpad tussen twee dorpe in Suid-Afrika aanpak: die pad tussen Ceres en Calvinia. Saam met Adriaan se foto’s vertel Leti Kleyn van haar besoek aan hierdie geliefde stuk land en dit word aangevul deur Dawid Slinger se vertellings en skrywes. ’n Fees vir die oog, lekkerleesboek en ’n inligtinggids ineen oor die geliefde streek wat die Tankwa-Karoo heet.

'n Splinternuwe, skitterende versameling kortverhale deur Nataniël. 20 in Afrikaans en 8 in Engels. Skreeusnaaks, aangrypend, wys, onvoorspelbaar en -- soos altyd -- hoogs vermaaklik.

Celebrate the hit television show The Flash with this deluxe writing journal, emblazoned with the S.T.A.R. Labs logo. A premier research and development facility, S.T.A.R. Labs built a next-generation particle accelerator, which they claimed would provide energy to all of Central City. However, the accelerator exploded shortly after it was activated, releasing a dark matter energy wave. When forensic scientist Barry Allen was hit by lightning, the power of the energy wave imbued him with super abilities and led him to become the speedster known as The Flash, using his powers to fight crime and save Central City. Now largely defunct, S.T.A.R. Labs operates as the headquarters for Team Flash. With sturdy construction and sewn binding, this journal lies flat, and the 192 ruled, acid-free pages of high-quality heavy stock paper take both pen and pencil nicely to invite a flow of inspiration. Includes a ribbon placeholder, elastic closure, and 7.5 x 4.5-inch back pocket, perfect for holding photographs and mementos. [DC Comics Logo] [WB Logo] Copyright (c) 2017 DC Comics.

The world's most famous mountain, Everest remains for serious high-altitude climbers an ultimate goal. Ed Viesturs has gone on eleven expeditions to Everest, reaching the summit seven times. He's spent more than two years of his life on the mountain. No climber today is better poised to survey Everest's various ascents-both personal and historic. In The Mountain, Viesturs delivers just that: riveting you-are-there accounts of his own climbs as well as vivid narratives of some of the more famous and infamous climbs throughout the last century, when the honour of nations often hung in the balance, depending on which climbers summited first. In addition to his own experiences, Viesturs sheds light on the fate of Mallory and Irvine, whose 1924 disappearance just 800 feet from the top remains one of mountaineering's greatest mysteries, and on the multiply tragic last days of Rob Hall and Scott Fischer in 1996, the stuff of which Into Thin Air was made. Informed by the experience of one who has truly been there, The Mountainaffords a rare glimpse into that place on earth where Heraclitus's maxim-character is destiny-is proved time and again. Complete with gorgeous photos of Everest, many of which were taken by Viesturs himself, and shots taken on some of the legendary historic climbs, The Mountainis an immensely appealing book for active and armchair climber alike.

A compendium of quotes and riffs by P.J. O'Rourke on subjects ranging from government ("Giving money and power to politicians is like giving car keys and whiskey to teenage boys") to fishing ("a sport invented by insects and you are the bait") to apps ("we need a no-app app--let's call it a nap") to be published on what would have been his 75th birthday. "P. J. O'Rourke was the funniest writer of his generation, one of the smartest and one of the most prolific. Now that he belongs to the ages, P.J. takes his rightful place along with Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker in the Pantheon of Quote Gods."--Christopher Buckley from his introduction When The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations was published in 1994, P. J. O'Rourke had more entries than any living writer. And he kept writing funny stuff for another 28 years. Now, for the first time, the best material is collected in one volume. Edited by his longtime friend and member of the American Society of Magazine Editors Hall of Fame Terry McDonell, THE FUNNY STUFF is arranged in six sections, organized by subject in alphabetical order from Agriculture to Xenophobia. From his earliest days at the National Lampoon in the 1970s, through his classic reporting for Rolling Stone in the 80s and 90s to his post-Trump, pandemic, new media observations of recent years, P.J. produced incisive, amusing copy. Not only did P.J. write memorable one-liners, he also meticulously constructed riffs that built to a crescendo of hilarity and outrage--and are still being quoted years later. His prose has the electric verbal energy of Tom Wolfe or Hunter Thompson, but P.J. is more flat out funny. And through it all comes his clear-eyed take on politics, economics, human nature--and fun. THE FUNNY STUFF is a book for P.J. fans to devour but also a book that will bring new readers and stand as testament to one of the truly original American writers of the last 50 years.
