In September 2018, Professor Sean Davison's peaceful life in the leafy suburbs of Pinelands, Cape Town is shattered. Arrested for the murder of Dr Anrich Burger, a once-fit athlete turned quadriplegic who begged Davison to assist him in ending his life in 2015, the unassuming academic and father of three now finds himself locked up in a prison cell.
Under investigation led by the Hawks, an additional two murders are added to the case for which he now faces a mandatory life prison sentence. Written in compelling detail, The Price of Mercy tracks the extraordinary journey that Davison embarks on to prepare for the gruelling legal challenge that lies ahead.
The desperate cries of many, begging for his assistance to help end their lives of suffering haunt him. Unwavering in his belief that we all have the right to die with dignity, Davison's selfless battle is made more bearable by his friendship with the late and great Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
A book that will change the way you see death.
A guidebook to 39 day walks and one two-day Ten Tors challenge
across the Dartmoor National Park and its surrounding area. The
guide contains low-level shorter walks and higher level more
strenuous and challenging routes, therefore there's a walk suitable
for all abilities, allowing you to explore all of what Devon's
national park has to offer. Each walk contains a detailed route
description, 1:50,000 OS maps and colour photography, alongside
practical information on public transport links and refreshment
stops on each walk. Dartmoor, a National Park since 1951, is wild,
and at times isolated. Its a land of blanket bogs and grass moors
dotted with fascinating tors, old stone clapper bridges,
tree-shaded river valleys and a diverse range of wildlife. Our
ancestors have left behind a fascinating treasure trove from
intriguing stone rows to fascinating stones circles and burial
cairns to hut circles. There are also the stark ruins of Dartmoor's
mining heritage, picturesque villages and hamlets that are home to
interesting old churches and cosy pubs. You'll be able to stand on
High Willhays which, at 621m (2039 ft), is not only a mountain, but
also the highest point in Southern England. On a clear day from
many of Dartmoor's summits there are great views out over Devon's
rural landscape and west into Cornwall to Bodmin Moor.
This guidebook - which includes both a guide to the route and a
separate OS map booklet - describes the Ridgeway National Trail, an
87 mile (139km) route through southern England from Avebury in
Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire. Typically walked
in 6 or 8 days, this is a low-level waymarked route suitable for
all abilities and for year round walking. The guidebook details the
trail in both directions, west to east and east to west (the main
description is west to east). Step-by-step route descriptions are
accompanied by 1:100,000 OS mapping and a separate OS 1:25,000 map
booklet showing the entire route is included. Packed with details
on points of interest and a trek planner giving at-a-glance
information about facilities, public transport and accommodation
available along the way, this book is an indispensable guide to
walking this national trail. Following a ridge of chalk hills
through the Chiltern Hills AONB and North Wessex Downs AONB, the
Ridgeway takes walkers through five counties and five thousand
years of history. It offers a scenic and fascinating journey
through our ancient and more recent past, visiting the UNESCO World
Heritage Site of Avebury's Neolithic stone circle and the famous
Uffington White Horse, and includes excursions to picturesque
villages, thatched cottages and cosy pubs.
This vital new Handbook brings together cutting-edge contributions
from experts in Information Systems (IS) to explore how qualitative
research can be undertaken in the IS discipline. The Handbook
critically surveys contemporary trends in qualitative IS studies
and offers detailed examples of how IS research methods can be
taught. The leading group of contributors provide future-oriented
analyses of key research methodologies, covering important topics
such as the nature of theory and philosophy in qualitative IS
research and new developments in the field. Engaging in an
exploratory analysis of where opportunities for qualitative IS
research might be heading, the Handbook concludes by identifying a
need to consolidate existing research methodologies and develop new
ones. The Handbook of Qualitative Research Methods for Information
Systems will be beneficial for students studying areas such as
information systems, qualitative research methods, research method
innovation and knowledge management.
This guidebook presents 30 walks in the New Forest in Hampshire and
Wiltshire, Britain's smallest National Park. Easily accessible from
Southampton, Bournemouth, Salisbury and Winchester, the New Forest
encompasses varied landscapes, from ancient woodlands to open
heaths, rivers and coastline. Routes of between 5 and 16km (3 and
10 miles) explore the Forest, mainly on fairly flat terrain, often
on well-defined tracks and paths. Most walks are suitable for all
the family and many can be combined to make longer outings. Each
walk is described in detail, highlighting the many points of
interest in this area - ancient sites and castles, picture postcard
villages with thatched cottages or historic churches - with
fascinating background detail. An extract of 1:25,000 OS mapping
makes each route easy to follow, and suggestions for refreshment
stops like pubs and tea rooms are included. All walks offer a good
chance of seeing wildlife, including the famous New Forest ponies.
This area has been protected and nurtured by ancient laws for over
900 years, and is the largest remaining area of lowland heath in
Europe. It is this sense of history and the unique patchwork of
habitats that make walking in the New Forest National Park such a
rewarding experience.

the only solution is for the mutants to take over. Wolverine (Hugh

exam, or will he let his worries take over? In this funny and

Rustling under a leafy tree, A greedy shrew could hardly see...
Shrew has spent his entire life using only one sense to hunt - his
sense of smell. Until a horrible case of the flu forces him to make
use of the rest of his senses. Once he hones the art of hunting -
using more than just his nose - he can't help but gobble up every
snack in sight. The question is, can Shrew restore the forest he so
dearly loves? 'The Shrew with The Flu' is a wonderfully warm and
endearing story by budding author Will Hamilton-Davies, created in
partnership with illustrator Jennifer Davison. The combination of
rhyming verse and rich, vibrant illustrations, makes this
environmentally themed story the perfect read-aloud for every
family. While on the surface 'The Shrew with The Flu' is an
endearing story about a shrew's quest for food, it also holds a
powerful message about greed and empathy, a message that fosters
love and respect for our natural world.

Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman lend
their voices to this CGI-animated comedy based on the line of toys
made by Lego. The wicked Lord Business (Will Ferrell) is determined
to destroy the Lego universe and rebuild it using glue - which goes
against the very nature of Lego. Mistaken as the 'Special', the
only surviving Master Builder, the rather ordinary Emmet (Pratt) is
selected to lead a group of figures on a mission to put a stop to
Lord Business's evil plan. Emmet is helped by wise wizard Vitruvius
(Freeman), tough girl Wyldstyle (Banks) and DC superhero Batman
(Arnett), but can he find something extraordinary within himself in
order to save the world? The film also features the voices of
Channing Tatum, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Jonah
Hill. The film won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film and was nominated
for Best Original Song at the Oscars.
