They're Burning the Churches is a meticulously written, moving
account of the groundbreaking events that dramatically accelerated
the downfall of apartheid. Noonans' clear and unbiased historical
record clarifies many misconceptions regarding important events
such as the Sharpeville Six Trial, the Delmas Treason Trial, the
1984 uprising that led to international sanctions against South
Africa, the first-ever army invasions of the Vaal townships, and
the still controversial Boipatong massacre that stopped the
negotiations for a new south Africa for at least six months. Much
of the material is completely new. Historians will relish it. But
it's not only or mostly academic. Township people will see
themselves in these pages. The peoples of Evaton, Sebokeng,
Boipatong, Sharpeville, Bophelong and other urban areas such as
Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark. People who made it happen. The
heroes of the piece. It is their tumultuous story. It also includes
a section on the formerly despised councillors whom the author
invites to share with the reader their past memories and present
concerns. This surprising inclusion makes for compelling reading.
The pundits would have you believe that global warming will cause
the end of the Earth, and they have a lot of firepower on their
side. Should you be afraid of global warming? And if so, what is so
threatening about it? Consider the answers to these questions and
others, including: Why do global doomers support wildlife
conservation if animals exhale carbon dioxide, which contributes to
the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
What place do electric cars have in fighting global warming if
they will never be able to travel the distances that regular cars
can? Even if you travel 300 miles on one charge, how do you get
back at the end of a long trip?
Can using ethanol really solve the problem, or does it create
even greater woes? Written with a conservative bent, "Global
Warming" will help you wade through the arguments of hypocrites so
you can take a fresh look at global warming and what can be done to
prevent its potential harmful effects.
The author's title is the true account of the traumatised memory of
the people of at least five townships in the Vaal. They made it
happen; they suffered the consequences; they are remembered.
They're burning the churches is written in the downfall of
apartheid. The authors' unbiased historical record regarding
important events such as the Sharpeville Six trail, the Delmas

the Vaal townships, and the still controversial Boipatong massacre
that stopped the negotiations for a new South Africa for at least
six months.
