Huiskos is Herman Lensing se sesde kookboek en volg op die uiters suksesvolle Dit Proe Soos Huis, wat in 2019 verskyn het en in 2020 benoem is deur die SA Boekpryse vir beste niefiksieboek.

Huiskos vertel – in sy eie woorde – die storie van Herman se 34 jaar op hierdie aarde. Anders as in sy ander boeke deel hy hierdie keer ook resepte wat hy by sy vriende leer ken het en by mense op vele reise deur Suid-Afrika.

Huiskos bevat meer as 80 resepte, van ontbyt tot hoofgeregte, van bykosse tot vleisgeregte, van koeke, koekies en beskuit tot nageregte (soos trifle, roomys en selfs basaarpoeding). Elke hoofstuk weerspieël Herman se liefde vir kos en vir mense, met staaltjies waarin jy jou kan verkneukel. Dis alles pretensielose resepte met bestanddele wat jy van Pretoria tot in Pofadder kan kry.

Huiskos is nes jy Herman se kombuis ken: kos wat almal kan saamkook.

Herman Mashaba rose from humble beginnings to become one of South Africa’s wealthiest and best-known entrepreneurs, as well as Mayor of Johannesburg.

His remarkable story begins in a small village in Gauteng, where we meet the cocky youngster who refused to settle for a future that offered nothing. Forced to drop out of university, the determined young man fought to establish the first black-owned haircare company in South Africa. Mashaba struggled every day of his life – against apartheid, with its demeaning laws, and against his competitors to grab market share for his business. In the process, Mashaba learnt lessons that few business schools teach today.

This is a story of survival, and of determination in adversity. It is also a love story between Herman and Connie, his wife of 35 years, who embarked on this journey together. Mashaba shows the importance of having a vision, daring to dream it, and then making it happen. This inspiring book will leave you with the question: “If he did it, why can’t I?”

After the runaway success of his Afrikaans memoir, Hoerkind, the contrarian journalist and writer Herman Lategan translated and updated his eventful life story to include material that did not appear in the original book.

Herman was conceived illegitimately one warm February night in 1964 in a boarding house in Cape Town. From an early age, he felt disposable, passed from one pair of unstable adult hands to the next, even ending up in an orphanage for a while.

At thirteen he was caught in the web of a cunning paedophile, a well-known Afrikaans newspaperman. Shortly after his eighteenth birthday, when his abuser had finished with him, Herman was unceremoniously dumped at the door of his alcoholic father. Conscription into the army and a dishonourable discharge followed.

During his teenage years, Herman befriended poets like Sheila Cussons, Tatamkhulu Afrika and Casper Schmidt, and later, in New York, he followed Andy Warhol in the street and partied with a ‘smorgasbord of social butterflies’.

Back in South Africa, Herman established himself as a journalist, but struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, and was homeless for a while. For many an employer, he became the nightmare they feared most.

Son of a Whore is a gripping account of loss, hardship and overcoming both; it will make you laugh and, at times, break your heart. You will despair at the cruelty of a world in which the marginalised are forsaken, but stand in awe at the extent of the goodness surrounding us, because, ultimately, people depend on each other.

This fourth edition of Career Counselling and Guidance in the Workplace: A manual for Career Development Practitioners provides a perspective on career counselling and guidance approaches and practices relevant to career development support in the 21st-Century workplace. The text has been designed for postgraduate students, as well as career development practitioners, human resource practitioners, psychologists, psychometrists, and registered counsellors who are involved in providing career development services to individuals and employers.

Additional real-life case studies that reflect the diverse population groups of South Africa have been added to illustrate how the theory is applied in career counselling practice. This edition further incorporates the role and competencies of career development practitioners as outlined in the new national frameworks.

Herman Lategan word wyd gerespekteer as joernalis, en is beide berug én beroemd vir sy uitgesprokenheid en kwinkslae oor alles onder die son. In Hoerkind vertel hy sy lewensverhaal uit die hart uit, sonder doekies omdraai. Hy is een warm Februarienag in 1964 in ’n losieshuis in Kaapstad verwek – buite die eg. Van jongs af het hy soos ’n weggooimens gevoel, want hy is deur grootmense wat die lewe op onvaste voet betree het, van die een stel hande na die ander aangegee.

Op 13 beland hy in die kloue van ’n geslepe pedofiel, ’n bekende Afrikaanse koerantman in daardie jare. Pas na sy 18de verjaarsdag, wanneer sy molesteerder met hom klaar is, word Herman sonder seremonie voor die deur van sy vervreemde alkoholis-pa afgelaai. In sy tienerjare bevriend hy Afrikaanse digters soos Sheila Cussons, Ina Rousseau, Barend J. Toerien en Casper Schmidt. Ná skool doen hy sy diensplig, maar word oneervol ontslaan en kom hy in New York aan, waar hy vir Andy Warhol op straat agtervolg en met ’n “smorgasbord van eendagsvlinders” kattemaai.

Terug in Suid-Afrika maak Herman opgang as joernalis wat na die wydste hoeke van die wêreld reis. As volwassene voer hy ’n stryd met drank en dwelms en is ’n ruk lank haweloos. En vir menige werkgewer word hy die nagmerrie wat hulle die ergste vrees.

Hoerkind is ’n aangrypende relaas oor verlies én oorwinning wat jou sal laat lag, en jou hart ’n paar keer breek. Jy sal jou kop skud oor die wreedheid van ’n wêreld waar mense aan mekaar uitgelewer is, maar jy sal verwonderd staan oor die omvang van goedheid, juis omdat mense op mekaar aangewese is.

Herman Mashaba is a self-made entrepreneur who started his business Black Like Me in the dark days of apartheid in South Africa. He has told the story of his journey from the poverty of Hammanskraal to the comfort of a successful business in his book Black Like You.

When Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s president in 1994, Mashaba thought his struggle for personal and economic freedom was over, the battle was won. Twenty-one years later, he has had to question that assumption as his hard won freedoms are eroded and economic controls tighten. Mashaba is committed to freeing South Africans from poverty.

In this book Mashaba outlines his crusade for economic freedom for all South Africans – through a firm commitment to capitalist principles. He describes the changes in his political affiliations and maps out the route South Africa needs to follow to escape entrenched unemployment and poverty.

Marc Schlosser, 'n huisdokter, begaan 'n mediese fout en as gevolg daarvan sterf een van sy pasiente. Schlosser moet voor die Mediese Raad verskyn om verantwoording te doen. Schlosser is nie te bekommerd oor die Mediese Raad nie: Hy sal seker 'n paar maande geskors word, wat nie te erg is nie. Wat die saak egter kompliseer, is dat die pasient 'n baie bekende akteur, Ralph Meier, is, wat miskien net te veel aandag gegee het aan Schlosser se pragtige vrou, Caroline. Of hou die hele gedoente verband met wat by die Meiers se vakansiehuis gebeur het toe die Schlosser-gesin daar op besoek was? Soos in Die aandete is die hoofkarakter van die verhaal ook die verteller wat net vertel wat hy wil he die leser moet weet en so die leser aan die raai hou oor wat werklik gebeur het.

In jou gedagtes kan jy orals wees, in die hemel sonder om eers dood te gaan, en hop-hoppetie-hop oor die Himalajas ... In jou gedagtes kan jy wees net wat jy wil, en ook alles word. Soos 'n walvis wat kan vlieg. Of 'n rob wat kan lees. In jou gedagtes kan jy doen wat jy glad nie kan doen nie. Jy kan he net wat jy wil, en begryp wat jy nie verstaan nie. En weet dat die tyd net 'n grappie van die son is. In jou gedagtes is 'n atmosferiese prenteboek oor hoe jy in jou gedagtes byna enigiets kan vermag. Jou gedagtes stel jou miskien selfs in staat om te begryp hoe 'n kindjie kan doodgaan, en 'n oupa gebore kan word. "Hierdie boekie het ek geskryf," se Van Veen, "na 'n geselsie met 'n man en 'n vrou wat my vertel het dat hul kindjie dalk nou 'n engeltjie is". 'n Prenteboek oor lewe en dood, geskik vir jonk en oud.

Twee broers en hulle vrouens gaan een aand eet in ’n deftige restaurant: Paul Lohman, mislukte onderwyser en sy slim vrou Claire, saam met Serge Lohman, kandidaat vir die premierskap in die opkomende verkiesing, en sy vrou Babette. Teen die agtergrond van die bediening van keurige geregte en tipiese restaurantpraatjies ontvou ’n ontstellende verhaal.

Sestig jaar na Herman Charles Bosman se dood het die eerste Afrikaanse bundel Oom Schalk Lourens-stories verskyn (In die withaak se skadu, Suiderkruis Boeke, 2011). Dit is besonder goed ontvang, en het gunstige kommentaar ontlok van skrywers soos Andre P. Brink, P.G. du Plessis, Pieter Fourie en Paul C. Venter. Die jaar daarna het ’n Bekkersdalmarathon en ander Voorkamerstories (Suiderkruis Boeke, 2012) die lig gesien, wat sowat die helfte van Bosman se bekende stories oor Jurie Steyn se plaasposkantoor bevat. Dit was die eerste Bosman-bundel wat deur Fred Mouton geillustreer is. Die oorweldigend positiewe terugvoer oor die Bosman/Moutonkombinasie het dit voor die hand liggend gemaak dat Fred ook oom Schalk se stories onder hande moet neem. Mafeking-pad kombineer dus vir die eerste keer Bosman se gewildste verhale – wat van 1947 af nog nooit uit druk uit was nie – met Fred Mouton se kenmerkende styl. Die resultaat is eg Afrikaanse lekkerte!

Arguably the most enduring collection of South African short-fiction, Mafeking Road has never been out of print since its first publication in 1947. Although Roy Campbell wrote to Herman Charles Bosman, “I think your stories in Mafeking Road are the best that ever came out of South Africa,” Bosman himself was not quite happy with the text. “I was in such a hurry … that I didn’t do what I had always intended: i.e. to restore them as far as possible to the way they were originally, when I wrote them,” he replied. Now, for the first time, Bosman’s stories have been restored to the original 1930s (magazine) versions, which adds some 1 300 words of never-before-seen Bosman-isms to the text. Added to this is Fred Mouton’s signature style illustrations, which make this, quite simply, the best version of Mafeking Road ever published. Bosman would approve.

Jurie Steyn het 'n probleem. Nie net moet hy 'n bestaan probeer voer uit boerdery in die Marico nie, maar boonop dien sy voorkamer as die Drogevlei-poskantoor – en Jurie as die posmeester. "Tussen posorders en bloutong weet ek nie watter werk die ergste is nie. Ek moet wa-ghries op my muilkar smeer en seelwas op die possak sit. Partykeer raak ek deurmekaar. Eendag gaan ek nog 'n inkomsteseel op my hotkantmuil plak en die Bekkersdal-possak met 'n halfmaan en 'n streep brandmerk. Dan sal daar moeilikheid wees," se Jurie. "Met my hotmuil, bedoel ek." Elke week kom die halfdowe Oupa Bekker, At Naude (wat 'n draadloos besit), buurman Gysbert van Tonder, die berese Johnny Coen, wat eens op 'n tyd 'n railway shunter op Ottoshoop was, en ander kleurryke karakters in Jurie Steyn se voorkamer bymekaar om te wag vir die Goewermentlorrie van Bekkersdal, wat hul pos en melkkanne moet bring. Sake van die dag word druk bespreek, en die gesprekke waartoe dit lei, is gewoonlik skreeusnaaks. Herman Charles Bosman het in die laaste 18 maande van sy lewe sowat 80 stories vir die reeks In the Voorkamer in die nuusblad The Forum geskryf. Bosman het dit self bestempel as die beste werk wat hy ooit gelewer het. 'n Bekkersdal-marathon en ander voorkamerstories volg op die sukses van In die withaak se skadu, die eerste Afrikaanse versameling Oom Schalk Lourens-stories.

Hermans is aangewys as Nederland se grootste skrywer van die 20ste eeu. Nooit Meer Slaap Nie is een van sy beroemdste romans en steeds ‘n treffer.

Dit gaan om ‘n student se spannende en selfs lewensgevaarlike navorsingstog in die nagenoeg onbewoonde Finnmark, die noordelikste gebied van Noorweë. Hy slaag mettertyd daarin om die vernaamste fisieke struikelblokke te oorwin, maar die noodlot en ironie bly op sy spoor.

Die boek neem die leser na een van die onherbergsaamste gebiede op aarde asook na onverkende vlakke van die menslike gees waar vrae veel magtiger is as oplossings.

Dit is ‘n toeganklike roman met diepte, vir die fynproewer.

Trauma and Recovery is the foundational text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a political frame, psychiatrist Judith L. Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. This edition includes a new epilogue by the author assessing what has-and hasn't-changed in understanding and treating trauma over the last three decades. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how we heal.

Former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza answers his most-asked question: Who is Herman Cain? When Herman Cain speaks, people listen. When he debates, he wins. If you care about the future of America, you have heard of the down-to-earth political newcomer running for president, the straight-talking man of the people with blunt assessments of what America needs. Originally overlooked by mainstream politicos and media, Herman Cain is truly a candidate from “outside the Beltway,� but no longer one who is being ignored. BUT WHO IS HE? While Herman Cain has been the host of a popular conservative Atlanta-area radio talk show called The Herman Cain Show, a different name originally captured American interest. As CEO, Herman Cain transformed Godfather’s Pizza from a company teetering on the verge of bankruptcy into a household word. Cain—as those with an interest in commonsense solutions to political problems will remember—is also famous for using the language and logic of everyday business to expose the fallacies inherent in Clinton assumptions about “Hillarycare� during a 1994 televised town hall meeting. WHAT IS HIS STORY? Herman Cain’s rise is the embodiment of the American dream. His parents, Luther and Lenora Cain, made a living the only way black people could in the ’40s and ’50s. Luther held down three jobs, including being a chauffeur; Lenora cleaned houses. They had two big dreams: to buy a house and to see their sons graduate from college. With dedication and hard work, they made both these dreams come true. In this thrilling memoir, Herman Cain describes his past and present . . . and the future he is determined to create, a future that will put our country back on track. His message resonates because he describes the American reality, and his down-to-earth personal tale of hope and hard work is both unforgettable and inspirational. *** What is it in my DNA that years ago prompted me to forgo the ease of cruise control and take on the enormous challenge of doing my part toward making America a better place for my granddaughter and the generations to come? Why do I, a son of the segregated South, refuse to think of myself as a “victim� of racism? What is it that motivates me to insist on defining my identity in terms of “ABC�—as being American first, black second, and Conservative third? Just who is Herman Cain? And how did I get this way? Just a hint: it may have had something to do with lessons learned from my parents, Lenora and Luther Cain, Jr. —From This Is Herman

A definitive guide to the metaverse: why it's important, why it matters to society, and how to create a metaverse that works for all of us --------------- 'Brimming with big and convincing arguments about where human life is heading' Arianna Huffington --------------- The metaverse is a vision of how the next generation of the internet will operate. Many people believe it is the future. But what will that future look like? An immersive digital playground? The next generation of online gaming? Or just the latest manifestation of our human tendency to create other realities? Herman Narula argues that it is all of these things and more. His vision of the metaverse, deeply rooted in history and psychology, looks to the Egyptians, whose concept of death inspired them to build the pyramids, to modern-day sports fans whose fantasy leagues are as competitive as the real thing, and finds that humanity has always sought ways to supplement our day-to-day lives with a rich diversity of alterative immersive experiences. Virtual Society reveals why the metaverse offers a new universe of ideas that gives everyone the chance to create, explore and find meaning. It's an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand the true shape of our virtual future. --------------- Reader reviews 'This book unlocked my understanding of the Metaverse in a completely new refreshing way. This is a must read book which needs to be introduced in every school curriculum globally for our upcoming metaversial society and "fulfilment economy".' ***** 'I've been trying to follow what tech professionals and commentators mean when talking about the metaverse over the last two years. Herman's description of what the metaverse may become, however, is by the far the most compelling. What makes it compelling is the fact that it is routed in human history. The metaverse is not a new concept; and you don't need a degree from Cambridge to understand it.' *****
