This diary is uniquely illustrated around the zodiac theme and will
stand out strikingly against other diaries. It brings lunar wisdom
into your day to day, with life-coaching tools and tips each week.
The planner is divided by zodiac sign, showing how the sun's
movement through the zodiac affects everyone's energies, whatever
star sign. It displays the effect of planetary conjunctions and how
Mercury entering retrograde affects our decision making and
fortunes. The diary illustrates the characteristics of each zodiac
sign and how that impacts on the events of your life. Pisces is the
dreamer, so when the sun enters Pisces, it's time to implement
steps to move closer to your dream life. Taurus is the time to plan
financial abundance. Aries is a concentrated energy to begin
something, whether that's a vigorous new exercise programme or a
new project. Astrology is a wonderful tool you can use everywhere,
you don't need to be mystical to enjoy it.
If this book saves just one person’s life, Leo Prinsloo will be happy.
Leo became an internet sensation after footage of his reaction to an attempted high-value goods-in-transit heist went viral. Stunned by his cool attitude and focused action in a crisis situation, South Africans had an example of what can happen when good people take a stand. With decades of experience in security – first as a policeman, then in the South African Police Service’s Special Task Force, and now providing arms handling and security training in the private sector – Leo has a wealth of knowledge on how to manage life-threatening incidents.
Driven by a desire to empower South Africans and help them claim back their sense of safety, he offers advice for dealing with every risky situation, from how to handle hijackings and road rage, to how to keep your children safe, to the best way to secure your home and business. He also provides comprehensive information about handling firearms and basic first aid.
Leo’s Guide to Not Becoming a Statistic is a guide to living your safest life in South Africa – something which has become increasingly important as our crime statistics continue to rise. Straight-talking and honest – much like Leo himself – it is an easy to use manual that makes keeping safe accessible, with relatable information and easy to implement tips.
Leo says that taking the first step towards securing your safety is the most important, and his book will help you take that step.
Robin Williams, Peter Dinklage and Mila Kunis star in this comedy
drama directed by Phil Alden Robinson. Henry Altmann (Williams), a

transformation when he is mistakenly told by Dr. Sharon Gill
(Kunis) he only has 90 minutes to live. Desperate to make amends
with the people closest to him before he dies, he leaves the
doctor's surgery frantically and sets off on a path of redemption.
Meanwhile, Sharon, who has realised her mistake but has become
aware of a potentially life-threatening brain aneurysm, tries to
track Henry down to get him into care.
Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.

First published in 1878, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is the tragic
story of aristocrat Anna Karenina and her ill-fated affair with the
cavalry officer Count Vronsky. Although passionately in love, the
couple finds their romance doomed by the sexual mores of their time
and place, and the double standards that apply to men and women.
The tale's panoramic sweep and Tolstoy's colorful depiction of
Russia and the European continent are virtually unparalleled in
world literature. This novel, in the estimation of William
Faulkner, is 'the best ever written.' Anna Karenina is one of
Barnes & Noble's leatherbound classics. Each volume features
authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an
exquisitely designed bonded leather binding, with distinctive gilt
edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and
collectible, these books offers hours of pleasure to readers young
and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.

A 40-day journey exploring the themes of hope and new life through
vivid biblical images, Holding onto Hope can be used through Lent
or during any 40-day period. We start with how all creation praises
God, from the flowers of the field to the streams in the desert and
the trees clapping their hands. We then explore the agricultural
pattern of sowing, growing and harvesting before moving to the
gracious promises and invitations God makes to his people, such as
how he writes eternity onto our hearts. Next come compelling images
of God as our help and refuge, including God being our shade and
rear guard, before seeing how God changes his people – he clothes
us, renews our minds and strengthens us. Finally, we focus on our
new life in Christ through images such as new wineskins, the
imperishable seed and the city to come.

encounters an old friend and joins his army regiment as a camp

York Times bestselling I Survived series comes to vivid life in

One day, he sees a man walking lots of dogs. Maybe Stan could get a
dog after all!
Sankara's legacy, unclear as it may be, still lives and he remains
immensely popular. If you travel through Africa his image is
unmistakable. His picture, with beret and broad grin, is pasted on
run-down taxis and is found on the walls of local bars.
Internationally Sankara is often referred to as the `African Che
Guevara' and like his South American counterpart; it is his
perseverance, dedication and incorruptibility that appeal to the
imagination. Voices of liberation: Thomas Sankara starts with a
comprehensive timeline covering Thomas Sankara's life and major
events in the history of the continent and region. His Life section
provides the most critical and fraternal assessment of the 1980s
radical experiment within the broader history of the country, the
region and continent. His Voice section succinctly provides a
selection of Sankara's speeches, broadcasts and interviews and
gives us insight to his outlook on the world. His Legacy section
combines an almost poetic tribute to the flawed through heroic
period of Sankara's `revolution' with an incredibly relentless and
honest analysis. This is done through the story of last year's
uprising against Compaore - with haunting lessons for South Africa.
The Postscript is an indispensable update to the extraordinary
events in Burkina Faso during 2015, chiefly the resistance to the
coup in September. The authors look at Sankara's influence on the
popular movements and its wider significance for Africa.
