When Bridget Hilton-Barber got on a train to Grahamstown in 1982 to study journalism at Rhodes University, she had no idea of the brutal drama that would unfold.
A rebellious young woman, she became politically involved in anti-apartheid organisations and was caught up in the massive resistance and repression sweeping the Eastern Cape at the time. She ended up spending three months in detention without trial, and after her release discovered she had been betrayed by one of her best friends, Olivia Forsyth, who was a spy for the South African security police.
Thirty years later, a horrific flashback triggers Bridget’s journey back to the Eastern Cape to see if she can forgive her betrayer and finally let go of the extraordinary violence she encountered in the final days of apartheid. This is her powerful story.
Michael Barber has spent many years advising governments, businesses and major sporting teams around the world on how to achieve ambitious goals on time.

Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.

Offering a critical analysis of the UK political system, Tragedy of
Riches argues that politicians over the past twenty years have
changed our economic destiny for the worse. The corresponding
demise of ideology means that there can be no great improvement in
the British economy without fundamental political change. Stephen
Barber introduces the concept of the `mixed economic settlement';
the argument that the policy mix in which Europe and the United
States operates is forged in three contrasting forms of liberalism
to have emerged in the post-war West: economic, welfare and social
liberalism. He describes how our single-minded pursuit of
prosperity has constrained politics from being a force for good.
The book argues that the present economic policies of the UK
government are unsustainable and, if they are to tackle the
difficult issues of modern society, politicians and communities
alike need to face up to this truth.

unreliable narrator, a terrific page turner with themes of those
with privilege versus those without' ***** 'This is one of those
totally addictive psychological thrillers that has you reading
'just one more page' and ignoring everything else you need to do
until you finish it' *****
