Three strangers, each isolated by his or her own problems: Adaora, the marine biologist. Anthony, the rapper famous throughout Africa. Agu, the troubled soldier. Wandering Bar Beach in Lagos, Nigeria's legendary mega-city, they're more alone than they've ever been before. But when something like a meteorite plunges into the ocean and a tidal wave overcomes them, these three people will find themselves bound together in ways they could never imagine. Together with Ayodele, a visitor from beyond the stars, they must race through Lagos and against time itself in order to save the city, the world... and themselves. 'There was no time to flee. No time to turn. No time to shriek. And there was no pain. It was like being thrown into the stars.'

Psychotherapy is one of the most valuable inventions of the last hundred years, with an exceptional power to raise our levels of emotional well-being, improve our relationships, redeem the atmosphere in our families and assist us in mining our professional potential. But it is also profoundly misunderstood and the subject of a host of unhelpful fantasies, hopes and suspicions. Its logic is rarely explained and its voice seldom heard with sufficient directness. This is a book that attempts to explain psychotherapy: what the needs are in all of us to which it caters; the methods by which it addresses these needs - and what the outcome of a therapeutic intervention could ideally be. The book reflects a fundamental belief of the School of Life that psychotherapy is the single greatest step any of us can take towards self-understanding and fulfilment. A course of therapy stands to render us ever so slightly less angry, self-defeating, unconfident, lost and sad. This is a guide to the purpose and meaning of psychotherapy. What people are saying about What is Psychotherapy?: "Love the book, high quality product. I am very pleased with my purchase. It is a small book but big enough to answer the question from the headline." Srecka "Great read and being a hardback gives the book a special feel, a kind if little treasure." Brian "A lovely little book to help make psychotherapy more accessible." "Great book for that first understanding of psychotherapy, easy and quick to read." "This book is invaluable and makes so much sense. I will be ordering more copies to give to friends." "Inspiring and impressive. Bringing easy terms and daily encounters into deeper understanding."

Alle kinders is bang vir iets. As hulle sê hulle is nie, lieg hulle.”

Joshua Reinders maak ’n groot fout. As hy net nie so bang was nie, het sy pa nooit daardie aand ’n kind geskiet nie. Dis hoekom hulle na Droomhoek moes vlug. Maar ook in Droomhoek teister die vrees hom. Skaduwees is nie net skaduwees nie. Geluide is nie net geluide nie. En mense is nie almal mense nie ...

“Almal het geheime,” waarsku Joshua se nuwe vriend Gio.

Joshua besef net nie hoe naby daardie geheime aan hom lê nie. En wanneer hy dit uitvind, gaan sy hele wêreld op sy kop keer.

In August 1993, Fulbright scholar Amy Biehl was killed in Cape Town by a group of black teenagers incited by an upsurge in 'anti-white' sloganeering. She died just a few metres away from Sindiwe Magona's house. One of the boys held responsible for the killing was her neighbour's son. Mother To Mother takes the form of an epistle to Amy Biehl's mother.

Sindiwe Magona imagines how easily it might have been her own son caught up in the violence of that day. She writes about their lives in a colonised society that not only allowed, but also perpetuated violence against women and impoverished black South Africans.

The result is not an apology for murder, but an exquisitely written exploration of the lives of ordinary people in the apartheid years.

Elkeen wat vra, ontvang, elkeen wat soek, vind, en vir elkeen wat klop sal oopgemaak word.

Vir die welgestelde sakeman, Adam Swart, is geloof egter nie so maklik nie. Dis juis hoekom sy dogter, Lea, en haar ma van hom vervreem is. Wanneer Lea se ma egter sterf, gryp Adam die kans aan om sy verhouding met sy dogter te herbou.

Hulle Wildekus-wegbreek het skaars begin wanneer ’n groep rondswerwende gelowiges reg langs hulle kom laer trek met ’n versameling voos en vodde karavane. Kort daarna, onder die wakende oog van hulle jong, imposante leier, begin die luidkeelse gesanik, nagtelike kruisvure en waansinnige seedopery. Dis alles net te veel vir Adam, en sy frustrasies loop oor in ’n ernstige kopstampery met Lea. Die volgende oggend is die karavane skoonveld. Sy dogter ook.

Hy moet vir Lea gaan vind as hy ooit weer vrede in sy gemoed wil hê. In die diep Transkei beland hy op die spoor van Die Lewende Vlees, ’n sekte swerwers wat daar tussen die heuwels hulle eie stukkie paradys probeer staanmaak. Maar elke swerwer het sy storie, elke
paradys sy slang.

“Climate change is a hoax—and so is coronavirus.” “Vaccines are bad for you.” These days, many of our fellow citizens reject scientific expertise and prefer ideology to facts. They are not merely uninformed—they are misinformed. They cite cherry-picked evidence, rely on fake experts, and believe conspiracy theories.

How can we convince such people otherwise? How can we get them to change their minds and accept the facts when they don't believe in facts? In this book, Lee McIntyre shows that anyone can fight back against science deniers, and argues that it's important to do so. Science denial can kill.

Drawing on his own experience—including a visit to a Flat Earth convention—as well as academic research, McIntyre outlines the common themes of science denialism, present in misinformation campaigns ranging from tobacco companies' denial in the 1950s that smoking causes lung cancer to today's anti-vaxxers. He describes attempts to use his persuasive powers as a philosopher to convert Flat Earthers; surprising discussions with coal miners; and conversations with a scientist friend about genetically modified organisms in food.

McIntyre offers tools and techniques for communicating the truth and values of science, emphasizing that the most important way to reach science deniers is to talk to them calmly and respectfully—to put ourselves out there, and meet them face to face.

In his annual presidential address on 8 January 1986, ANC president Oliver Tambo called on South Africans to make apartheid ungovernable through militant action. But unknown to the world, the quiet-spoken mathematics teacher and aspirant priest turned reluctant revolutionary had also on that very day set up a secret think tank in Lusaka, which he named the Constitution Committee, giving it an ‘ad hoc unique exercise’ that had ‘no precedent in the history of the movement’.

Knowing that all wars end at a negotiating table, and judging the balance of forces to be moving in favour of the liberation movement, he wanted the ANC to be prepared and to be holding the initiative after the political collapse of apartheid. Guided by a brilliant analysis by Pallo Jordan, Tambo instructed his new think tank to prepare a constitutional framework for a liberated, non-racial, democratic South Africa. Their task was to formulate the principles and draft the outlines of a constitution that could unite South Africa when the time came to talk in the fledgling days of freedom and democracy.

The seven-member team, including Albie Sachs, Kader Asmal and Zola Skweyiya, started deliberating and reporting to Tambo. In correspondence, they typically addressed him as ‘Dear Comrade President’.

Drawing on the personal archives of participants, Dear Comrade President explains how this process, which fundamentally influenced the history of contemporary South Africa, unfolded. Why and how did it happen? What were the first written words? When and where were they put on paper? By whom? What values did they espouse? And how did the committee’s work fit into the broader struggle? This book answers these questions in ways that have not been done before and provides paradigm-changing insights into the purposeful first steps taken in the making of South Africa’s Constitution.
