Our nurses have witnessed the pandemic first hand, compassionately caring for patients amid war-like circumstances.

The havoc caused by the pandemic highlighted existing fault lines in the South African health system, and nurses faced shortages of staff and vital life-saving equipment. Colleagues tested positive and died. Visitors were not allowed, so nurses had to be intermediaries between patients and desperate family trying to glean information on the phone. Despite these pressures, they remained at the forefront of the fight against the deadly virus.

This book brings together deeply personal stories of caring for patients in wards and ICU, of feeling overwhelmed, and experiencing the fear of getting infected and passing Covid on to their families. There are also moving tales of personal growth and finding renewed purpose.

In Our Own Words shows the extreme resilience of nurses – even in the face of adversity. And that at the core of a ‘true’ nurse remains the commitment to the patient.

The business setting has changed drastically in the Post-Covid-19 environment. These changes are reflected in all the chapters of the textbook.

Die band Fokofpolisiekar en die woord "kontroversie" gaan hand aan hand. Sedert hul eerste optrede in 2003 het hulle aanhangers gegroei – en hul teenstanders ook. Een ding is seker: Hierdie band kan nie geignoreer word nie. Annie Klopper, 'n deurwinterde musiekjoernalis, is bekend daarvoor dat sy die groep se doen en late oor die jare fyn dopgehou het en hulle selfs die onderwerp van haar meestersgraad in Afrikaans gemaak het. Biografie van 'n bende het hieruit gespruit. In die biografie maak die leser kennis met Francois, Hunter, Wynand, Jaco en Johnny – die vyf lede agter Fokofpolisiekar. Die boek onthul fassinerende inligting wat tot nog toe nie gepubliseer is nie, soos dat die lede grotendeels hul vriendskappe met mekaar in 'n charismatiese kerk gesmee het. Die leser kry insae in hoe hul persoonlike ervarings neerslag gevind het in hul lirieke. Die staaltjies van die vyf vriende wat saam die Suid-Afrikaanse musiekbedryf op sy kop gekeer het, sorg vir baie ligte oomblikke en groot vermaak. Die meeste van die foto's in die boek is tot op datum nog ongepubliseer en vorm saam met die noukeurige navorsing van Klopper ’n moetlees-boek vir elke Fokofpolisiekar-aanhanger, belangstellende of nuuskierige!

Gee My ’n Mán! handel oor ou Kalahari Gemsbokpark, vanaf die tyd dat hulle nog met kamele gepatrolleer het, die oorlog teen die berugte Witbooi (wat tonele bevat waarvan die leser moeilik sal vergeet) en veldwagter Joep le Riche se avonture en nagmerries in daardie vroeë jare.

Hy was die een wat hom die meeste beywer het vir die proklamering van hierdie gebied as ’n wildtuin en baie jare lank was Joep le Riche die Gemsbokpark en die Gemsbokpark was Joep le Riche.

Humor en swaarkry gaan hand aand hand in hierdie boeiende en insiggewende vertelling.

Higher education institutions around the globe are facing complex issues that disrupt the usual roles and purposes of centres of learning and research. Forces such as globalisation, burgeoning knowledge-based economies, rapid adoption of new technology, and global competition are changing the work and lived experiences of academics across the globe. This book addresses the unprecedented effects of these global pressures, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on university work and the resulting opportunity for innovative disruption. It presents the voices of 16 Australian university academics, framed by standpoint theory, which provide a unique perspective and insights into the rapid shifts impacting universities and how these affect academics' work lives. The stories uncover cases of disappointment and frustration, bullying and morale loss, alongside positive change and the awareness of the need to change expectations. This work informs the development of the Academic Predicament Model (APM), which points to the erosion of academic professionalism and identifies how such change in university work consequently de-professionalises academia in Australia. The long-term effect is to challenge the place and function of higher education institutions. The need for transformation, and potential for its outcomes, has never been greater, nor has the risk that the elements of the Academic Predicament Model will be amplified, causing the de-professionalising of academia to be further accelerated. This book will be of interest to researchers in higher education exploring neoliberalism and its impact on education and academics' work.

Toe Pamina Vermaak by die werk uitfreak, sit sy skielik sonder inkomste. Boonop verloor sy haar kêrel, haar woonstel in Tamboerskloof, asook die laaste flenters toekomsideale wat sy naarstig aan ’t vasklou was – alles in een dag. Sy is gedwing om druipstert terug te keer na haar ouerhuis op die klein Weskusdorp Witwaterbaai. ’n Plek wat sy gesweer het haar nooit weer sal sien nie.

Intussen basuin die voorblaaie van poniekoerante dit uit dat rockster Wolf de Jager se verlowing met aktrise Daniella du Toit verbreek is en krioel dit op sosiale media van steelfoto’s waar sy hom verneuk. Hy moet weg uit die Kaap en ’n lukrake seleksie op Google Maps bring hom tot op Witwaterbaai, waar sy swart leerbaadjie harder as sy Fender Stratocaster skreeu teen die gehekelde doilies in Ant Leentjie se gastehuis.

Sal Pamina en Wolf op hierdie slakkepas-dorp van bokkoms droog en stoepsit hul probleme kan ontduik? Of lê daar net nog meer komplikasies voor?

Harry Kirkman was een van die Krugerwildtuin se bekendste "eerste" veldwagters naas Harry Wolhuter. In hierdie heruitgawe van die oorspronklike teks wat in 1967 verskyn het, is dit tyd vir Kirkman om die tuig neer te le, moeilik soos dit vir hom is, en sy lewe as veldwagter vanaf die vroegste dae te hersien. Saam met Kirkman herleef die leser die spektrum van ervarings wat 'n loopbaan in die ongerepte natuur inhou: eensaamheid, ontbering en avontuur, deurspek met ingetoe wysheid en 'n goeie skoot humor.

The foreword to the "book of a meeting" is often an excuse for a paen of praise, a homily, or even an apologia - and sometimes a combination of all three. While certain traditions have been dispensed with in this volume the standard pattern for the foreword has its advantages, so here at least tradition will be adhered to - though in reverse order from that stated above. It The apologia can be dismissed briefly, for the editors have explained in their General Introduction that this is not the book of a meeting. All that remains to be added here is a description of the modus operandi. Being aware that speaking and writing are different activities requiring diffe rent presentation, each participant was asked to prepare a script for publication resembling what he would speak about only in outline. It may be that as a result the essays lack detail and are thin under some of the classical headings of scientific writing. So the reader, in turn, is asked to accept this and give his attention instead to the concepts and ideas contained therein. It may even come about that this kind of presentation will in the end result in something less ephemeral than the standard conference proceedings book. Criticism of conference proceedings and the type of meetings that give rise to these little-loved tomes is not a new phenomenom."
