Harry Potter se somervakansie is aaklig: nie net was dit die slegste verjaarsdag ooit nie, maar boonop verskyn ’n vreemde huiself genaamd Dobby om hom te waarsku om nie weer na die Hogwarts Skool vir Towerkuns en Heksery toe terug te gaan nie – vreeslike dinge gaan daar gebeur. En vreeslike dinge gebeur inderdaad. Dit is Harry se tweede jaar op Hogwarts en nuwe probleme wag op hom. Hy hoor vreemde fluisterstemme deur leë gange – en dan begin die aanvalle . . .

Wanneer Dumbledore een nag in Ligusterlaan aankom om Harry Potter te kom oplaai, is sy hand swart en verskrompel, asof die vleis weggebrand is. Geheime en gerugte versprei deur die towenaarswêreld, en selfs Hogwarts is nie veilig nie. Harry is oortuig dat Malfoy die Donker Merk dra: daar is ’n Doodseter tussen hulle. Harry gaan kragtige towerkuns en egte vriende nodig hê terwyl hy Voldemort se donkerste geheime ondersoek, en Dumbledore berei hom voor vir die lot wat nog altyd op hom wag . . .

From bestselling authors Janie Chang and Kate Quinn, a thrilling and unforgettable narrative about the intertwined lives of two wronged women, spanning from the chaos of the San Francisco earthquake to the glittering palaces of Versailles.

San Francisco, 1906. In a city bustling with newly minted millionaires and scheming upstarts, two very different women hope to change their fortunes: Gemma, a golden-haired, silver-voiced soprano whose career desperately needs rekindling, and Suling, a petite and resolute Chinatown embroideress who is determined to escape an arranged marriage. Their paths cross when they are drawn into the orbit of Henry Thornton, a charming railroad magnate whose extraordinary collection of Chinese antiques includes the fabled Phoenix Crown, a legendary relic of Beijing’s fallen Summer Palace.

His patronage offers Gemma and Suling the chance of a lifetime, but their lives are thrown into turmoil when a devastating earthquake rips San Francisco apart and Thornton disappears, leaving behind a mystery reaching further than anyone could have imagined . . . until the Phoenix Crown reappears five years later at a sumptuous Paris costume ball, drawing Gemma and Suling together in one last desperate quest for justice.

Terwyl Harry Potter in die sykar van Hagrid se motorfiets klim en in die lug opstyg om Ligusterlaan vir die laaste keer te verlaat, weet hy Heer Voldemort en sy Doodseters is nie ver agter nie. Die beskermende towerspreuk wat Harry tot nou toe veilig gehou het, is verbreek, maar hy kan nie aanhou wegkruip nie. Die Donker Heer blaas vrees in alles waarvoor Harry lief is, en om hom te stop, sal Harry die oorblywende Horcruxe moet vind en vernietig. Die laaste stryd moet begin . . .

"If this were a book quiz and you were to ask me what film is most like Absolutely Jani I would answer unhesitatingly, Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen's Oscar-nominated film."

Those who remember the "Just Jani" column in the Sunday Times will be intrigued and delighted. Those who missed out on those heady times will be captivated by this universal story of betrayal, back-stabbing and life in the very fast lane. It is acerbic, witty, wry, bittersweet and exquisitely penned. She describes how she became a columnist, and reveals much of life behind the scenes at the Sunday Times.

Jani also shares details of the crucial interview with Eugene Terre'blanche, details that will shake the preconceptions and ruffle more than a few feathers. Jani's reputation is reduced to tatters when she takes on UK's Channel4 in a law suit that reverberated around the world and kept the public baying for blood. But in all this we are able to see the real Jani Allan behind the fabulous brittle creature that the tabloids tore to shreds and devoured and then spat out.

That the real Jani Allan, gutsy, bright beyond the telling, vulnerable and a story-teller beyond compare has chosen to share her story is a remarkable gift to the reader. It is a story that will command a great deal of respect.

Featuring international contributions from leading and emerging scholars, this innovative Research Handbook presents a panoramic view of how law sees visual art, and how visual art sees law. It resists the conventional approach to art and law as inherently dissonant - one a discipline preoccupied with rationality, certainty and objectivity; the other a creative enterprise ensconced in the imaginary and inviting multiple, unique and subjective interpretations. Blending these two distinct disciplines, this unique Research Handbook bridges the gap between art and law. This highly original Research Handbook provides stimulating and provocative discussions that bring together multiple perspectives on how art and law relate to each other in all of their various manifestations, across diverse legal regimes, fields, contexts, and times. With the objective of starting an interdisciplinary dialogue on visual art and the law, this Research Handbook reflects the varied voices of lawyers, artists, criminologists and curators, and engages with broad notions of the two fields, exploring established themes alongside new areas and unfamiliar questions. Wide-ranging and accessible, the Research Handbook on Art and Law will be of interest to law students and scholars engaged with the fields of law and the visual arts, as well as copyright lawyers, art historians and socio-legal scholars.

This follow-up to Graeme B. Dinwoodie and Mark D. Janis's successful book Trademark Law and Theory examines reform of trademark law from a number of perspectives and across many jurisdictions. In so doing, it analyses the most important current and future issues in the field, both providing normative frameworks for the development of trademark law and concrete proposals for reform. This Research Handbook is organized into three thematic parts discussing different areas of reform: the trademark registration process; subject matter boundaries and trademark protectability; and trademark scope and enforcement. Leading trademark law scholars from across the globe investigate important topics such as intermediary liability, trademark protection for product design, conceptions of the hypothetical ''average consumer'', and trademark depletion and congestion. Scholars and students of intellectual property law will find the provocative and insightful thinking in this Research Handbook stimulating and valuable. The practical suggestions for future reform will also be of interest to trademark lawyers, policymakers, brand managers and other marketing professionals.
