In 1993 South Africa state president F.W. de Klerk and African National Congress (ANC) leader Nelson Mandela were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize ‘for their work for the peaceful termination of the apartheid regime’. Yet, while both deserved the plaudits they received for entering the negotiations that led to the end of apartheid, the four years of negotiations preceding the April 1994 elections, known as the transition era, were not ‘peaceful’: they were the bloodiest of the entire apartheid era, with an estimated 14,000 deaths attributed to politically related violence.
This book studies, for the first time, the conflicts between the ANC and the Inkatha Freedom Party that took place in South Africa’s industrial heartland surrounding Johannesburg. Exploring these events through the perceptions and memories of combatants and non-combatants from war-torn areas, along with security force members, politicians and violence monitors, offers new possibilities for understanding South Africa’s turbulent transition.
Challenging the prevailing narrative which attributes the bulk of the violence to a joint state security force and IFP assault against ANC supporters, the author argues for a more expansive approach that incorporates the aggression of ANC militants, the intersection between criminal and political violence, and especially clashes between groups aligned with the ANC.
Four-time New York Times bestselling author Gary Vaynerchuk offers new lessons and inspiration drawn from the experiences of dozens of influencers and entrepreneurs who rejected the predictable corporate path in favor of pursuing their dreams by building thriving businesses and extraordinary personal brands.
In his 2009 international bestseller Crush It, Gary insisted that a vibrant personal brand was crucial to entrepreneurial success, In Crushing It!, Gary explains why that’s even more true today, offering his unique perspective on what has changed and what principles remain timeless. He also shares stories from other entrepreneurs who have grown wealthier—and not just financially—than they ever imagined possible by following Crush It principles. The secret to their success (and Gary’s) has everything to do with their understanding of the social media platforms, and their willingness to do whatever it took to make these tools work to their utmost potential. That’s what Crushing It! teaches readers to do.
In this lively, practical, and inspiring book, Gary dissects every current major social media platform so that anyone, from a plumber to a professional ice skater, will know exactly how to amplify his or her personal brand on each. He offers both theoretical and tactical advice on how to become the biggest thing on old standbys like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat; podcast platforms like Spotify, Soundcloud, iHeartRadio, and iTunes; and other emerging platforms such as Musical.ly. For those with more experience, Crushing It! illuminates some little-known nuances and provides innovative tips and clever tweaks proven to enhance more common tried-and-true strategies.
Crushing It! is a state-of-the-art guide to building your own path to professional and financial success, but it’s not about getting rich. It’s a blueprint to living life on your own terms.

to respond if I receive a consultation in the holidays? How shall I
structure my inclusion department? How do I assess SEND for a child
with EAL? How should I be working with my school’s Careers
Officer? How do I motivate disengaged learners? What do Ofsted look
for in an inspection? Split helpfully into easily-workable
sections, this reference book can be picked up and dipped into,
whatever the priority. Whether it’s organising an annual review

His name is synonymous with high-stakes wilderness survival
stories. Now Gary Paulsen portrays a series of life-altering
moments in his turbulent childhood as his own original survival
story. If not for his summer escape from a shockingly neglectful
Chicago upbringing to a North Woods homestead at age five, there
never would have been a Hatchet. Without the encouragement of the
librarian who handed him his first book at age thirteen, he may
never have become a reader. Without his desperate teenage
enlistment in the army, he would not have discovered his true
calling as a storyteller. A moving and enthralling story of grit
and growing up for newcomers and lifelong fans alike, this is the
acclaimed author at his rawest and realest.
The acclaimed author of "Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates"
investigates pets' afterlife--for the truth about their existence
in Heaven--in a moving, inspirational, and comforting message of
hope.
From the author of the acclaimed The Blood Telegram and finalist
for the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction, comes a landmark,
magisterial history of the trial of Japan’s leaders as war
criminals-the largely overlooked Asian counterpart to Nuremberg. In
the weeks after Japan finally surrendered to the Allies to end
World War II, the victorious powers turned to the question of how
to move on from years of carnage and destruction. For American
leaders President Harry Truman and General Douglas MacArthur,
Britain’s Winston Churchill, China’s Chiang Kai-shek, and their
fellow victors, the question of justice seemed clear: Japan’s
militaristic leaders needed to be tried and punished for their
crimes. For the Allied powers, the trials were an opportunity both
to render judgment on their vanquished foes and to create a legal
framework to prosecute war crimes and prohibit the use of
aggressive war. For the Japanese leaders on trial, it was their
chance to argue that their war had been waged to liberate Asia from
Western imperialism and that the court was no more than victors’
justice. For more than two years, the tensions and contradictions
of the courtroom could be seen playing out across Asia as the trial
unfolded in the crucial early years of the Cold War and the end of
the European empires. They have influenced power politics across
Asia and the Pacific ever since. Gary J. Bass' Judgement at Tokyo
is the product of a decade of research, a magnificent, riveting
story of wartime action, dramatic courtroom battles, and the epic
formative years that set the stage for the postwar era in the
Asia–Pacific.
