An instant Number One New York Times bestseller, Humans of New York began in the summer of 2010, when photographer Brandon Stanton set out on an ambitious project: to single-handedly create a photographic census of New York City. Armed with his camera, he began crisscrossing the city, covering thousands of miles on foot, all in his attempt to capture ordinary New Yorkers in the most extraordinary of moments. The result of these efforts was "Humans of New York," a vibrant blog in which he featured his photos alongside quotes and anecdotes.

The blog has steadily grown, now boasting nearly a million devoted followers. Humans of New York is the book inspired by the blog. With four hundred colour photos, including exclusive portraits and all-new stories, and a distinctive vellum jacket, Humans of New York is a stunning collection of images that will appeal not just to those who have been drawn in by the outsized personalities of New York, but to anyone interested in the breathtaking scope of humanity it displays.

Heartfelt and moving, Humans of New York is a celebration of individuality and a tribute to the spirit of a city.

My First South Africa Atlas is a detailed child-friendly atlas, suitable for ages 6-12 years and older.

This educational atlas is filled with 120 maps along with colour-coded content boxes covering information on the following:

• Natural landmarks
• Buildings/sites of significance
• Geography/geology
• Climate
• Vegetation
• Parks and wildlife (incl. World Heritage Sites)
• Science (incl. astronomy, agriculture etc.)
• Towns (names, origins etc.)

There is a graphic timeline across the bottom of each pages including full-colour photographs. The little assistant ‘Lily’ introduces the reader to ‘did you know’ facts about South Africa and neighbouring countries, helping to make learning fun! There is a great overview map, including South Africa’s national anthem, as well as the symbols for each province. Included in the back of the book are educational pages, ‘our planet and showing it on paper, the features of a map, the compass, and finding locations’.

This book is a must-have for any learner in South Africa, as well as a great educational tool to assist teachers and schools.

Every now and then a book comes along that is both timely and remarkable, that integrates all aspects of life; from recognising one’s roots, developing a moral grounding, building from strong family foundations to follow a chosen path to reach one’s goals, and remaining humble when it all comes to pass.

Time and Chance is an account, in a variety of contrasting images, voices and experiences gained from travelling the world in pursuit of business, where LAZARUS ZIM, industrious Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) enthusiast, recounts his journey to become one of South Africa’s business leaders, with several firsts, while navigating the political minefield – disclosing descriptions of behind-the-scenes intrigue and conspiracy – and his interactions with Heads of State in South Africa and around the globe.

The recounting of Zim’s extraordinary rise to success oscillates between hope, faith, ethics, and diligence as he lays bare his successes and failures, and the organic wisdom, knowledge, and wit that have framed his business acumen and moral grounding.

It is a poignant reminder of a black child’s quest to fulfil his purpose in which the writer dares everyone to dream, even in the face of hopelessness.

The atlas also includes a comprehensive index of place names and, where appropriate, an index of city plans. The touring sections show places of interest in specific locales, such as the battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal and the wineries of the Western Cape. Lastly, photographs of scenic areas accompany the maps where appropriate.

Openbaring is 'n inspirerende reisstorie wat wipplank ry tussen twee uiterstes ­- C. Johan Bakkes en sy reisgenote trotseer die koudste en warmste plekke op aarde waar mense nog leef en 'n bestaan maak, in onderskeidelik die snerpende Siberiese koue en die verswelgende hitte van die Danakil-depressie.

Hoekom? Want dié reisigers doen hul bes om nie “lou” te wees nie, maar met absolute oorgawe te lewe!

Ondanks sy juweel van 'n Afrikaanse naam verkeer Fanie van der Merwe reeds vir twee dekades in selfopgelegde ballingskap. Danksy sy nering as geskiedenisonderwyser aan internasionale skole kry hy klokslag geleentheid om internasionaal te reis, wat hy met oorgawe doen. In die proses het hy reeds meer as vyftig lande besoek. In 2017 skep Fanie sy "Fanie Os Oppie Jas"-blad op Facebook - 'n hoekie in die kuberruim waar hy dagboek van sy reise hou, en vandag volg meer as 11,000 intekenare sy avonture. Met "Die reisstories van 'n nomadiese geskiedenisonderwyser" neem Fanie die leser op 'n warrelwindreis na ses lande wat nie gereeld op die gemiddelde reisiger se radar verskyn nie - Noord-Korea, Mianmar, Kambodja, Tibet, Belgie, en die uithoeke van die VSA. Danksy 'n kombinasie van pittige anekdotes in die suiwerste Afrikaans, asemrowende foto's en lighartige, dog boeiende geskiedenisverwante vertelllings, beloof die boek om 'n reisbundel te wees soos wat nog selde in Afrikaans gesien is. Die geskiedkundige feite sal verbluf, die foto's sal betower, maar dis Fanie se unieke, tong-in-die-kies-waarnemings wat selfs die mees huisvaste Jan Tuisblyer sal laat jeuk vir 'n internasionale reis.

In the far northwestern corner of South Africa lies the Richtersveld, recently inscribed towards the end of 2007 as South Africa' 8th World Heritage Site. At first glance, it is a desolate and inhospitable place, with hot sandy plains and startling, jagged mountains of black rock. It is the world' only biodiversity hotspot located in an arid region, where thousands of plant species, many of which are endemic to the area. It is also the home to the last remaining groups of Nama (Khoikhoi) people who still practise their traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle, living in portable reed huts and moving with their flocks of sheep and goats. The Richtersveld travel guide contains all the information you need to explore this stunning region. It covers the geological, botanical and cultural history of the area, and it contains full details of where to stay and what to do. The guide includes the Richtersveld Community Conservancy, the Richtersveld National Park, the nearby towns of Alexander Bay and Port Nolloth, and crosses the border into Namibia, where the Richtersveld is joined with the Ai-Ais hot springs and the Fish River Canyon (second largest in the world) in a spectacular Transfrontier Conservation Area. The Richtersveld is also part of the greater Namaqualand region, which runs south from the Orange River for several hundred kilometers. This beguiling part of the world has won international renown for its annual spring-flower spectacle, when millions of flowers burst forth to mount a staggering display that attracts visitors from all over the world.
