A young woman is murdered in her flat and a tiny red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star is found behind her eyelid. Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case, alongside his long-time adversary Tom Waaler, and initially wants no part in it.

But Harry is already on his final warning and has little alternative but to drag himself out of his alcoholic stupor when it becomes apparent that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands.

This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. This is a book about something much more permanent.

At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.

These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.

They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.

These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?

In Oktober 2015 het die Algemene Sinode van die NG Kerk ’n merkwaardige besluit oor selfdegeslagverhoudings geneem. Die besluit het erkenning gegee aan sulke verhoudings en dit vir predikante moontlik gemaak om gay en lesbiese persone in die eg te verbind. Ook die selibaatsvereiste wat tot op daardie stadium vir gay predikante gegeld het, is opgehef. Met hierdie besluit het die NG Kerk die eerste hoofstroomkerk in Suid-Afrika en Afrika geword wat totale gelykwaardige menswaardige behandeling van alle mense, ongeag seksuele oriëntasie, erken – en is gedoen wat slegs in ’n handjievol kerke wêreldwyd uitgevoer is. Die besluit het egter gelei tot groot konsternasie. Verskeie appèlle en beswaargeskrifte is ingedien, distriksinodes het hulle van die besluit distansieer, en in die media was daar volgehoue kritiek en debat.

'n Byna woordlose prenteboek vir jong kinders van 3-6 met helderkleurige visse wat verskillende emosies uitbeeld – van opgewonde tot hartseer, van verlee tot trots, en van kwaad tot gelukkig. Die visse en die enkele woorde van die emosies wat elkeen uitbeeld is deur die bekende kinderboekillustreerder Mies van Hout met oliepastel en waskryt op 'n swart agtergrond in haar kenmerkende ekspressiewe styl geteken. Die boek is 'n internasionale sukses en is in Duitsland vir die gesogte Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis genomineer.

'n Byna woordlose prenteboek vir jong kinders van 3-6 met kleurvolle monsters wat ware vriende is. Hulle speel, lag en liefkoos mekaar, maar hulle soek ook skoor met mekaar, en maak dan weer vrede. Die dinamiese illustrasies en woorde is deur die bekende kinderboekillustreerder Mies van Hout met oliepastel en waskryt op 'n swart agtergrond in haar kenmerkende ekspressiewe styl geteken. Dit beeld herkenbare verhoudings vir klein monstertjies uit en sluit aan by Vriende, die vertaling van Vriendjes, ook van Mies van Hout wat in 2015 deur Protea Boekhuis gepubliseer word.

Walter raak op die vreemdste plekke aan die slaap; in die middel van ’n hewige storm, in die swembad, selfs op sy eie verjaarsdagpartytjie. Sy bekommerde ouers sleep hom na allerhande dokters toe en probeer alles om hom wakker te maak – van gruwelike spinnekoppe en ’n groot blaasorkes van 65 musikante. Maar niks of niemand kan hom wakker maak nie. Dan gebeur daar egter iets verrassends. ’n Prettige prenteboek oor slaap met groot illustrasies en treffende moderne ontwerp deur Pieter Gaudesaboos.

Soos elke jaar klim al die diere en skepsels teen die heuwel op vir 'n vergadering. Hierdie jaar het olifant 'n vraag, 'n moeilike vraag: Hoe weet mens dat jy iemand liefhet? Die verhaal begin met 'n groot prent van 'n treurige olifant met 'n klein stoeltjie op sy kop en 'n blom in sy mond. Die vergadering wat olifant se vraag moet bespreek, word gelei deur Mier, wat die woord gee aan Muis, Sneeuwitjie, 'n klip, 'n swerwer, 'n ysbeer en nog vele ander skepsels. As hulle saam by klomp filosofiese antwoorde oor die liefde gekom het, word die vergadering gesluit en gaan elkeen tevrede huis toe. Net Mier, wat oor die liefde skepties is, weet nie waarom sy skielik so alleen voel nie. Olifant se vraag is 'n ontroerende verhaal oor die vele fasette van die liefde. Leen van der Berg bied die jong leser veel om verder oor te droom en te filosofeer. Kaatje Vermeire se illustrasies, 'n kombinasie tussen grafiek en illustrasies, is 'n pragtige versmelting van realisme en fantasie. Die boek vorm sowel vir die oogstrelende fantasieryke prente, as vir die boeiende teks, stof tot nadenke en bepeinsing.

'n Betowerende plakkerboek vir jong dogtertjies met poppies om aan te trek en hondjies om mee te speel. Die agterflap vou uit sodat ekstra plakkers gebêre kan word terwyl die poppe aangetrek word.

Andries Anders vertel die verhaal van 'n droomverlore skaap wat graag reis. Hy het in die noorde aan die kus langs 'n gestreepte rooi vuurtoring sy plek tussen 'n trop skape gevind. Wanneer die wind egter stories oor die see aanwaai en van verre plekke vertel, ontwaak sy avontuurlus. En dan onderneem Andries en sy maat, die meeu, 'n wonderbaarlike reis na die fassinerendste plekke op aarde. Hulle troue begeleier is die wind, saam met wie hulle ten einde weer daar land waar dit tog die mooiste is: tuis! 'n Poetiese boek met subtiele illustrasies, vir almal wat hulle tuistes liefhet, maar ook van ver plekke hou. Hierdie is die tweede boek van die skaap Andries Anders wat Protea Boekhuis vertaal en publiseer.

Op 'n eiland in 'n ou kliphuis woon 'n man. Elke dag wandel hy deur die inmekaargestrengelde paadjies, styl trappies en versteekte hoeke van sy betowerende tuin. Een oggend ontdek hy op sy gunstelingplek 'n onbekende plant wat hy nie in sy klassifiseringsgids kan vind nie. Hy besluit om alles waartoe hy in staat is in te span om haar te versorg. En toe sy een aand 'n blomknop kry, kom hy met allerhande idees vorendag om haar aan te moedig om oop te gaan. Maar niks wat die man kan doen laat die blom bloei nie ... tot een magiese volmaannag.

When Otto Frank unwrapped his daughter's diary with trembling hands and began to read the first pages, he discovered a side to Anne that was as much a revelation to him as it would be to the rest of the world. Little did Otto know he was about to create an icon recognised the world over for her bravery, sometimes brutal teenage honesty and determination to see beauty even where its light was most hidden. Nor did he realise that publication would spark a bitter battle that would embroil him in years of legal contest and eventually drive him to a nervous breakdown and a new life in Switzerland. Today, more than seventy-five years after Anne's death, the diary is at the centre of a multi-million-pound industry, with competing foundations, cultural critics and former friends and relatives fighting for the right to control it. In this insightful and wide-ranging account, Karen Bartlett tells the full story of The Diary of Anne Frank, the highly controversial part it played in twentieth-century history, and its fundamental role in shaping our understanding of the Holocaust. At the same time, she sheds new light on the life and character of Otto Frank, the complex, driven and deeply human figure who lived in the shadows of the terrible events that robbed him of his family, while he painstakingly crafted and controlled his daughter's story.
