Spreekkamerstories by Fana Malherbe

Spreekkamerstories
Author: Fana Malherbe
Format: Softcover




Description:
Erns en skerts, vreugde en smart - die lag met 'n traan - vorm in humor soos ons dit vandag verstaan 'n wonderlike harmonie.

Ons praat van die operasiekamer as die teater - 'n teater waar chirurg en verpleegster die hoofrolle vertolk en waar inderdaad soms groot dramas afspeel, selfs tragedies, maar waar die gang van sake gewoonlik rustig en doelgerig is, en ook humor sy plek het.

Die meeste van die stories - deur die skrywer versamel oor 'n periode van meer as veertig jaar - het werklik met dokters en hulle pasiënte gebeur en is voorbeelde van humor, van die siening van pasiënt en dokter.

The Money Book by Suze Orman

The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke
Author: Suze Orman
Format: Softcover




Description:
The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke is financial expert Suze Orman's answer to a generation's cry for help. They're called "Generation Debt" and "Generation Broke" by the media - people in their twenties and thirties who graduate college with a mountain of student loan debt and are stuck with one of the weakest job markets in recent history.

The goals of their parents' generation - buy a house, support a family, send kids to college, retire in style - seem absurdly, depressingly out of reach. They live off their credit cards, may or may not have health insurance, and come up so far short at the end of the month that the idea of saving money is a joke. This generation has it tough, without a doubt, but they're also painfully aware of the urgent need to take matters into their own hands.

The Money Book was written to address the specific financial reality that faces young people today and offers a set of real, not impossible solutions to the problems at hand and the problems ahead. Concisely, pragmatically, and without a whiff of condescension, Suze Orman tells her young, fabulous & broke readers precisely what actions to take and why.

Throughout these pages, there are icons that direct readers to a special YF&B domain on Suze's website that offers more specialized information, forms, and interactive tools that further customize the information in the book. Her advice at times bucks conventional wisdom (did she just say use your credit card?) and may even seem counter-intuitive (pay into a retirement fund even though your credit card debt is killing you?), but it's her honesty, understanding, and uncanny ability to anticipate the needs of her readers that has made her the most trusted financial expert of her day.

Over the course of ten chapters that can be consulted methodically, step-by-step or on a strictly need-to-know basis, Suze takes the reader past broke to a secure place where they'll never have to worry about revisiting broke again.

And she begins the journey with a bit of overwhelmingly good news (yes, there really is good news): Young people have the greatest asset of all on their side -- time.

Meerkat Manor: Flower of the Kalahari by TH Clutton-Brock

Meerkat Manor: Flower of the Kalahari
Author: T.H. Clutton-Brock
Format: Hardcover




Description:
Meerkat Manor, a television series now in its 3rd year (with 2 more seasons contracted) following the fortunes of a group of Meerkats has recently attracted sensational viewing figures. So much so that the BBC Natural History Unit that created Blue Planet and Planet Earth is producing a full-length feature film based on the hugely successful precedent of The March of the Penguins, backed by Harvey Weinstein's Weinstein Company.

The series follows a group of named individuals and the viewer becomes closely involved in the life-or-death struggles, just like a soap opera, of this curiously attractive and anthropomorphic tribe.

To tie in with the success of the television series and the publicity which will accrue from worldwide release of the film the originator of the Meerkat research project, Tim Clutton-Brock, has written an engaging and informative book about these animals and what his research tells us about their world, a world which appears to mirror our own but is in fact driven by the sometimes savage instincts of self-interest and survival.
