When a reclusive printmaker dies, his friend inherits the thousands of etchings and drawings he has stored in his house over the years. Overwhelmed by the task of sorting and exhibiting this work, she seeks the advice of a curator.
What compulsion drove the printmaker to make art for four decades, and why did he so seldom show his prints? When the curator discovers a single, sealed box addressed to a man in Zimbabwe, she feels compelled to go in search of him to present him with the package, hoping to find an answer to the enigma of the printmaker's solitary life.
Bronwyn Law-Viljoen’s subtle and sophisticated novel reflects on one man’s obsessive need to make meaning through images and to find, in art, the traces of love and friendship.
Mo Gawdat is an engineer. What most of us see as insurmountable problems he sees as systems overloads to tackle and solve. Unstressable breaks stress into inputs and effects, classifying human stressors as: stress to the mind, stress to emotions, stress to the body, and stress to the soul. Once classified, Gawdat and co-author Alice Law show readers how stress can be predicted―and once predicted, prevented.
Unstressable illuminates for readers how most of us deal with the unpleasant, anxiety-producing and even miserable or tragic events in our lives: stress is always a by-product, leading directly to inability to cope, health problems and cratered confidence. Gawdat and Law guide readers to both heart centred and science-based solutions.
They’ll train readers to:
- Develop habits and attitudes of listening and learning that limit stress
- Learn the language of de-stressing mind, emotions, body and soul
- Respond, not react
- Release self-criticism, insomnia, and lethargy
- Increase energy, focus and confidence
Unstressable is a handbook for those who understand that stress isn’t what happens to you; it’s how you handle what happens to you. It’s a practical and rounded approach to an ever increasing modern day problem.

In this collection, poet Sarah Law presents lucid, lyrical
reflections on the much-loved saint, Therese of Lisieux (1873-97),
whose life and writing has been an inspiration to so many people.
For Sarah Law, there is something about Therese that catches at the
heart, and her poems flow from that sense of friendship and
tenderness with her subject. Many of the poems meditate on events,
large and small, in Therese's brief but spiritually significant
life. The first section explores her childhood, and the second, her
nine precious years as a Carmelite nun; years of both sweetness and
suffering. Several poems are inspired by well-known photographs of
Therese, some of which are included in this volume. A final section
considers Therese's legacy, as her 'little way' of confidence and
love became known throughout the world. Each poem may be read as an
individual reflection, and as part of the larger biographical
sequence.
