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.

First published in 1946, this atmospheric memoir of the Battle of
the Atlantic offers one of the most original accounts of war at sea
aboard a corvette, escorting convoys in both the North and South
Atlantic. The author, an RNVR lieutenant, experienced the terrors
of U-boat attacks and the hardships of icy gale-force winds
contrasted with the relief of shore runs in ports as far apart as
Halifax and Freetown. The narrative begins with Harling's voyage
from the Clyde to New York on the Queen Mary (or QM, as she was
known during her martial career), on route to join a newly-built
corvette in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He was to be her First
Lieutenant, and his service at sea started in the spring of 1941,
just as the Battle of the Atlantic was entering its most crucial
stage. During the first east-bound convoy he was to experience
attacks by U-boats, the loss of merchant vessels and a steep
learning curve as the ship's crew struggled to live in the harsh
wartime conditions. Later that summer they made return voyages to
Iceland where runs ashore offered some solace from dangerous days
at sea. Time was also spent in the South Atlantic with voyages to
Freetown and Lagos, before a short interlude when he experienced
the excitement of fighting with Coastal Forces. The corvette
subsequently returned to escorting convoys from Halifax to Europe.
Harling's narrative is both serious and humorous, and his picture
of wartime Britain, his descriptions of being buffeted by great
storm-tossed seas in the 'cockleshell corvettes', and the
recounting of grim losses are all too real and authentic. His story
ends as he leaves his ship after a violent cold developed into
pneumonia, and soon afterwards he hears the shattering news of her
loss by torpedo, along with the captain and half the crew. He is
left to ponder on the many tombless dead consigned by the war to
the Steep Atlantick Stream.
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.
