Books tell stories about our lifeworld. In this book Jan Coetzee invites us to critically inquire into the aims, the content, and the context of the stories contained in a collection of old books from an old world. Without opening these old texts and without converting the original print on the pages to meaning and message, Coetzee brings the books into a dialogue with each other. Together with accompanying sculpted and/or found objects these books take on a new, broader function. By gathering them in one volume they attain a different character and tell us more than what the individual books ever could.

Taking the Pith Out of Business is a punchy but light-hearted quick reference guide loaded with pithy and practical wisdom from two people who have collectively survived and managed more than seven decades of meetings, run the gauntlet of corporate politics and lead enough teams to populate a small town. From strategic planning to project management, from corporate politics to motivating people, 'Taking the Pith' is 196 pages of real life experiences, practical lessons and useful phrases for today's managers.

The world is a planet in turmoil with the elements gone wild and war and terrorism destroying what nature leaves standing. But we know that already. That's our world today. Kiano Goduka didn't see how any of this had anything to do with him. What could an ordinary 14 year old do about anything anyway? When a new teacher walks into his classroom with only one item on her teaching curriculum - to read them a book about a girl called Nia and the journey she undertakes - Kiano finds himself drawn into a journey of his own. Nia's world is populated with strange but fascinating inhabitants; there's Nassor the spunky if arrogant miniature dragon heir to the throne of Dillypot; Chiumbo, the thousand year old Pippin who safeguards the secrets of natural earth; the creatures of light who live in the world on the other side of the curtain that separates life from death; and the Marsh Molls, hulking half-human creatures that destroy everything in their path and who are controlled by evil forces more terrifying than the Molls themselves. At the same time Kiano is drawn into Nia's fictional world, he is faced with some harsh "real-life" events. His aunt and uncle had always been annoyingly vague about his parents. A class assignment and an old newspaper clipping dramatically reveal that his parents were environmental activists, and famous ones at that. Aided by his thoroughly sensible friend, Molly, and inspired by the story of Nia, Kiano sets out to find out more. He gets more than he bargained for when he stumbles upon murder, mystery and missing family members. On top of all this, Kiano is having trouble separating reality from fiction. He discovers that time and place and life and death, aren't quite as neatly organised as everyone had lead him to believe.

Rynn was just a regular kid from a regular school. Until the day he was randomly chosen by an alien computer for a mission of galactic importance. Suddenly he was expected to confront the terrifying Brogans from the parallel universe of Nearth who were pushing earth towards a crisis the planet would never survive. As if this wasn't enough trouble to face, his mission leader turned out to be an odd little alien from Zabadak called Jazzpaw, whose chosen disguise on earth was a dog of dubious origin. The only weapons and tools he could use were PC's, the Internet, mobile phones ... and all the friends he could muster. Together with his friends, Rynn begins to realise just how badly humans are messing around with the delicate balance of earth. The problems we are facing on earth are already starting to have a knock-on effect throughout the rest of the galaxy, in particular with the inhabitants of Zabadak. Things have almost reached the point of no return. An impending planetary line-up is about to present the perfect opportunity for the Brogens to manufacture some particularly devastating mischief that will send earth spinning into a black hole, taking the rest of the planets in the solar system with us. All it requires is a series of well-placed and well-timed mega explosions to kick-start the whole thing. And what better place to start the whole chain reaction than the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station in Cape Town, South Africa? Jazzpaw and his team had given up trying to warn earth's scientists about the impending disaster years ago. What he needed at this critical hour was an army of fast-moving and responsive warriors that could see things as they really are. What he didn't need were questioning, slow-thinking, sceptical adults. If Jazzpaw could just get Rynn and his friends to grasp the enormity of the danger, there was one possible, unexpected source of power with which he could fight back.
