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.

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.
Robin Williams, Peter Dinklage and Mila Kunis star in this comedy
drama directed by Phil Alden Robinson. Henry Altmann (Williams), a
cynical and curmudgeonly Brooklynite, undergoes a drastic
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.

War looms in Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, and when Napoleon invades
Russia in 1812 it forever changes those whose lives it engulfs.
Although told on a panoramic scale Tolstoy's epic novel focuses the
chaos of battle, the horror of death and bloodshed, and the
expression of the noble virtues of love and valor through their
impact on the lives of three principal characters: the courageous
Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov, and the
nobly born beauty Natasha Rostov.

‘This novel annihilated me. I gasped, laughed, and wept my way
through it’ KHALED HOSSEINI ‘Tender and raw and funny, it's a
rattling good read’ COLUM MCCANN ‘A wildly charming debut –
propulsive, funny, and profound’ ELIF BATUMAN Tbilisi’s
littered with memories that await me like landmines. The dearly
departed voices I silenced long ago have come back without my
permission. The situation calls for someone with a plan. I didn’t
even bring toothpaste. Saba is just a child when he flees his home
in Georgia with his older brother, Sandro, and father, Irakli, for
asylum in the UK after Russia’s occupation of South Ossetia. Two
decades later, all three men are struggling to make peace with the
past, haunted by the places and people they left behind. When
Irakli decides to return to Georgia, pulled back by memories of a
lost wife and a decaying but still beautiful homeland, Saba and
Sandro wait eagerly for news. But within weeks of his arrival,
Irakli disappears, and the final email they receive from him causes
a mystery to unfold before them: ‘My boys, I did something I
can’t undo. I need to get away from here before those people
catch me. Maybe in the mountains I’ll be safe. I left a trail I
can’t erase. Do not follow it.' In a journey that will lead him
to the very heart of a conflict that has marred generations and
fractured his own family, Saba must retrace his father's footsteps
to discover what remains of their homeland and its people. By turns
savage and tender, compassionate and harrowing, Hard by a Great
Forest is a powerful and ultimately hopeful novel about the
individual and collective trauma of war, and the indomitable spirit
of a people determined not only to survive, but to remember those
who did not.

War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia.
While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable
process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with
a cast of over five hundred characters. Three of these, the artless
and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew
Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's
philosophy in this novel of unquestioned mastery. This translation
is one which received Tolstoy's approval.
The word 'polarization' is on the lips of every commentator today,
from mainstream journalists to the left, but the significance of
this widely recognised phenomenon needs far more scrutiny than it
has had. The 58th volume of the Socialist Register takes up the
challenge of exploring how the new polarisations relate to the
contradictions that underlie them, and how far 'centrist' politics
can continue to contain them. Original essays examine the
multiplication of polarised national, racial, generational and
other identities in the context of growing inequality in income and
wealth, new forms of regional and urban antagonism, 'vaccine
nationalism', and the shifting parameters of great power rivalry.
A practical guide to building the connections students need to
thrive in and after college from the authors of the best-selling
Relationship-Rich Education. Decades of research demonstrate how
important the relationships with peers and professors are for
students academically, personally, and professionally. Yet many
students lack the strategies to develop educationally purposeful
relationships in college. Connections Are Everything shows students
the simple steps they can take to make their own college experience
meaningful and transformational. In short, practical chapters, this
guide helps readers learn how to build relationships through
various strategies, including using "relationship accelerators"
like internships and mentorships, undergraduate research, and
campus employment. Undergraduate demographics have changed
dramatically as students of color and first-generation students
become the new majority at colleges and universities across the
United States. Connections are particularly significant for these
students; the positive—and negative—impacts of peer, faculty,
and staff relationships are magnified. Higher education cannot meet
students' needs or achieve equity, justice, and inclusion without
relationship-rich education. This book empowers students to seek
out relationships by demystifying the varied ways they can
cultivate significant connections.
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.
Since the Great Financial Crisis swept across the world in 2008,
there have been few certainties regarding the trajectory of global
capitalism, let alone the politics taking hold in individual
states. This has now given way to palpable confusion regarding what
sense to make of this world in a political conjuncture marked by
Donald Trump's `Make America Great Again' presidency of the United
States, on the one hand, and, on the other, Xi Jinping's ambitious
agenda in consolidating his position as `core leader' at the top of
the Chinese state. * Is a major redrawing of the map of global
capitalism underway? * Is an unwinding of globalization in train,
or will it continue, but with closure to the mobility of labour? *
Is there a legitimacy crisis for neoliberalism even while
neoliberal practices continue to form state policy? * Are we
witnessing an authoritarian mutation of liberal democracy in the
21st century? * Should the strategic issues today be posed in terms
of `socialism versus barbarism redux'?
