In My First African Adventure, Riaan Manser allows the reader to relive the toil, excitement and occasional terror of his journey - negotiating the Sahara and Libyan deserts, learning French, Portuguese and Arabic, eating monkey, rat and bat, standing in front of the pyramids, being awarded the freedom of the Red Sea in Egypt, feeding hyenas mouth to mouth, and standing on the highest, as well as at the lowest, points in Africa.
Riaan arrived safely in Cape Town on 25 November 2005. Now, for the first time, children can relive this amazing journey of discovery in a fun, illustrated version of the original journey. Crammed with fun facts and information, My First African Adventure will entertain young and old for years to come.
Parents and children are invited to join one of the world's great modern-day adventurers, Riaan Manser as he explores Africa by bicycle!

The end of Christendom, where the Christian story was known and the
church was central, invites Christians in western culture to
embrace marginality and discover fresh ways of being church and
engaging in mission. While the transition from modernity to
postmodernity has received a huge amount of attention, the shift
from Christendom to post-Christendom has not yet been fully
explored. This book is an introduction; a journey into the past, an
interpretation of the present and an invitation to ask what
following Jesus might mean in the strange new world of
post-Christendom. Drawing on insights from the early Christians,
dissident movements and the world church, this book challenges
conventional ways of thinking. For those who dare to imagine new
ways of following Jesus on the margins, it invites a realistic and
hopeful response to challenges and opportunities awaiting us in the
21st century.
Multi-voiced Church argues strongly and persuasively for churches
in which everyone is important for the well-being and growth of the
community. The New Testament indicates that the early churches were
multi-voiced, participative and expectant that the Holy Spirit
would speak through all members of the community. First-generation
renewal movements have typically been multi-voiced, recovering this
New Testament characteristic. But institutionalization (often
accompanied by clericalization) has persistently reduced such
diversity of participation and resulted in many aspects of church
life becoming mono-voiced or restricted to only a few voices.
William H. H. Murray wrote his celebrated book in the spring of
1869 to introduce city-dwellers to the rewards of camping in the
wilderness. Thousands of tourists streamed to the Adirondacks that
summer in what was known as "Murray's Rush." Unfortunately, most
had not read the book carefully, and that summer was unusually wet
and cold. The result was an enormous outcry against Murray and his
"lies," to which he responded with vigor in an article published in
the New-York Daily Tribune, October 23, 1869, and included here.
Embark on an incredible journey with Riaan Manser, South Africa’s
favourite explorer, and Dan Skinstad, who bravely faces the challenges
of mild cerebral palsy. Together, they set out on their most daring
adventure yet – kayaking around Iceland!
Together, they navigate treacherous high seas, battle fierce winter
storms, and even brave an active volcano.
Along the way, they conquer formidable challenges, learning the power
of teamwork. “My First Frozen Adventure” is a heartwarming story filled
with courage, determination, and inspiration, capturing the genuine
essence of adventure against the breathtaking backdrop of Iceland
through captivating words and enchanting illustrations.
Riaan Manser, Suid-Afrika se gunsteling-ontdekker, is op sy moeilikste
en koudste avontuur nog – ’n kajakvaart rondom Ysland!
In hierdie avontuur sluit Dan Skinstad, wat dapper die uitdagings van
ligte serebrale verlamming trotseer, by Riaan aan. Saam pak hulle ‘n
kajakreis deur die ysige water van Ysland aan, waar hulle massiewe
golwe, stormagtige winterweer en selfs ‘n aktiewe vulkaan trotseer.
Met stories wat jou hare sal laat reggop staan, en illustrasies wat jou
sal laat skaterlag, vang hierdie boek die hart van avontuur vas teen
die ontnugterende, beeldskone agtergrond van Ysland.
Maak jouself gereed vir ‘n avontuur wat jou hart uit jou borskas sal
laat spring van opwinding!
Experimental stress analysis is an important tool in the overall
design and development of machinery and structures. While
analytical techniques and computer solutions are available during
the design stage, the results are still dependent on many
assumptions that must be made in order to adapt them to the
problems at hand. One popular method of finding structural and
design weaknesses is through the use of the electrical resistance
strain gage. These devices are relatively low in cost, easily
applied by a reasonably skilled technician, and require little
investment in instrumentation (for the general user), yet they
yield a wealth of information in a relatively short time period.
The information and its validity is, of course, dependent on the
training and knowledge of the engineer who plans the tests and
reduces the data. In addition to serving as a reference for
engineers, this practical, instructive book has a high potential as
a textbook for senior and first-year graduate students in
engineering and related fields, such as engineering physics and
geology. A solutions manual is available to instructors using the
book as a text. To request a free copy of the manual, please write:
