Get Your Will Right is a practical guide on what you should consider when drawing up your Will to reduce the cost of managing your estate. The book will guide you on how to structure your assets to minimise estate duty and will help your family with the process of finalising your estate, while highlighting the problems that could occur should your Will be lost or incorrectly completed.
It also warns against the common practice of a terminally ill individual moving all the assets into the spouse’s name before death, as in the long run, this can cost the family R700 000 in estate duty.
Get Your Will Right is an easy-to-understand guide that could save your family hundreds of thousands of rands upon your death and is based on the authors’ experience of managing over 300 deceased estates.

This book proposes a thorough introduction for a varied audience.
The reader will master London theory and the Pippard equations, and
go on to understand type I and type II superconductors (their
thermodynamics, magnetic properties, vortex dynamics, current
transport...), Cooper pairs and the results of BCS theory. By
studying coherence and flux quantization he or she will be lead to
the Josephson effect which, with the SQUID, is a good example of
the applications. The reader can make up for any gaps in his
knowledge with the use of the appendices, follow the logic behind
each model, and assimilate completely the underlying concepts.
Approximately 250 illustrations help in developing a thorough
understanding. This volume is aimed towards masters and doctoral
students, as well as advanced undergraduates, teachers and
researchers at all levels coming from a broad range of subjects
(chemistry, physics, mechanical and electrical engineering,
materials science...). Engineers working in industry will have a
useful introduction to other more applied or specialized material.
Philippe Mangin is emeritus professor of physics at Mines Nancy
Graduate School of Science, Engineering and Management of the
University of Lorraine, and researcher at the Jean Lamour Institute
in France. He is the former director of both the French neutron
scattering facility, Leon Brillouin Laboratory in Orsay, and the
Material Physics Laboratory in Nancy, and has taught
superconductivity to a broad audience, in particular to engineering
students. Remi Kahn is a retired senior research scientist of the
French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission
(CEA-Saclay). He worked at the Leon Brillouin Laboratory and was in
charge of the experimental areas of INB 101 (the Orphee research
reactor). This work responded to the need to bring an accessible
account suitable for a wide spectrum of scientists and engineers.

Highly educated and accustomed to intellectual society, the writer
and woman of letters Hester Lynch Piozzi (1741-1821) became a close
friend of Samuel Johnson through her first husband, the brewer
Henry Thrale. Her second marriage, to the Italian musician Gabriel
Mario Piozzi in 1784, estranged her from Johnson, but following his
death she published her groundbreaking Anecdotes of the Late Samuel
Johnson, anticipating Boswell's biography. As well as her letters,
poetry, essays, memoirs and travel diaries (several of which are
also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection), she was one of
the first women to produce works on philology and history.
Originally published in 1833, this highly readable volume of
recollections by the writer and translator Edward Mangin
(1772-1852) draws on her letters to him and his family (as well as
on other memorabilia), extracts from which are quoted extensively
in the work.
While many books examine specific wars, few study the history of
war worldwide and from an evolutionary perspective. "A Global
History of War "is one of the first works to focus not on the
impact of war on civilizations, but rather on how civilizations
impact and shape the art and execution of war. World-renowned
scholar Gerard Chaliand concentrates on the peoples and cultures
who have defined the manner in which war is conducted and the
lasting historical consequences. The text offers a unique picture
of the major geopolitical and civilizational clashes that have
rocked our common history and made us who we are today. The
relationship between war and civilizations comes alive, while our
understanding of war and its development takes a new turn. How did
the foremost non-European empires of the world rise and fall? What
critical role did the nomads of the Eurasian steppes and their
descendants play? Chaliand illuminates the poorly understood
military cultures and martial traditions of the great Eurasian
empires, including Turkey, China, Iran, and Mongolia. Based on
fifteen years of research, this book provides a novel military and
strategic perspective on the crises and conflicts that have shaped
the current world order.
Longtime sports photographer Brad Mangin teams up with Buster Posey
himself in this visual celebration of the star catcher's twelve
seasons with the San Francisco Giants. Packed with over 150
photographs, 28: A Photographic Tribute to Buster Posey captures
Buster's entire career, from the first time he stepped foot onto
the field for the Giants back in 2009 all the way to his final
at-bat in 2021. One of the most beloved players in Giants history,
the rookie catcher helped carry the franchise to its first World
Series championship in San Francisco in 2010, and from there, the
rising star carried the Giants to win two more World Series in 2012
and 2014-all brilliantly documented by Mangin.With an introduction
from veteran sportswriter and San Francisco radio host Brian
Murphy, along with essays from Buster and his teammates, managers,
and other sports luminaries-including Mike Krukow & Duane
Kuiper, Bruce Bochy, Matt Cain, Brandon Crawford, Gabe Kapler,
Hunter Pence, Sergio Romo, Logan Webb, and Barry Zito-28 tells the
story of Buster's illustrious career from the heartfelt perspective
of those who know him best.Off the field, Buster used his platform
to help children, and now his legacy continues to transform lives.
He and his wife, Kristen, created and nurtured BP28, a charity that
has raised over $4 million since 2016 in its endeavor to improve
outcomes and raise awareness of pediatric cancer. Kristen also
shares that story here, and a portion of the proceeds from this
book will benefit their foundation.
Professor Patrice MANGIN President of the XVlth Congress of the
International Academy of Legal Medicine and Social Medicine The
International Academy of Legal Medicine and Social Medicine was
founded in 1938 in Bonn. The motive for founding the Academy was to
promote associating and confronting on an international background
the scientific research work produced in the various domains
dealing with the Legal and Social Medicine. As first presi dent of
the International Academy of Legal Medicine and Social Medicine,
Professor Knud Sand from Copenhagen, assisted by colleagues of the
Praesidium appointed as national representatives, succeeded in
gathering together nearly the whole aca demic people involved in
Legal and Social Medicine. Thus one year later, in 1939, The
Academy became a worldwide institution of 450 members from thirty
nations. After the war, what had been before of considerable
interest for the progress of the knowledge and techniques in Legal
Medicine remained again a pressing necessity leading to the second
meeting of the Academy in 1947 in Brussels under the presi dency of
Professor De Laet. Since then the meetings of the Academy followed
one another every three years. At this point, I would like to thank
all the past presidents of the Academy and in particular Professor
Roche and Professor Andre for their contribution without which the
Academy would not be what it is presently."
The surprising and illuminating look at how Tolkien's love of
science and natural history shaped the creation of his Middle
Earth, from its flora and fauna to its landscapes. The world J.R.R.
Tolkien created is one of the most beloved in all of literature,
and continues to capture hearts and imaginations around the world.
From Oxford to ComiCon, the Middle Earth is analyzed and
interpreted through a multitude of perspectives. But one essential
facet of Tolkien and his Middle Earth has been overlooked: science.
This great writer, creator of worlds and unforgettable character,
and inventor of language was also a scientific autodidact, with an
innate interest and grasp of botany, paleontologist and geologist,
with additional passions for archeology and chemistry. Tolkien was
an acute observer of flora and fauna and mined the minds of his
scientific friends about ocean currents and volcanoes. It is these
layers science that give his imaginary universe-and the creatures
and characters that inhabit it-such concreteness. Within this
gorgeously illustrated edition, a range of scientists-from
astrophysicists to physicians, botanists to volcanologists-explore
Tolkien's novels, poems, and letters to reveal their fascinating
scientific roots. A rewarding combination of literary exploration
and scientific discovery, The Science of Middle Earth reveals the
hidden meaning of the Ring's corruption, why Hobbits have big feet,
the origins of the Dwarves, the animals which inspired the dragons,
and even whether or not an Ent is possible. Enhanced by superb
original drawings, this transportive work will delight both Tolkien
fans and science lovers and inspire us to view both Middle
Earth-and our own world-with fresh eyes.
