In Black and White traces the gripping life story of Springbok
rugby coach Jake White, right up to and including the 2007 Rugby World Cup. The
first man to coach the Springboks for four successive seasons, White’s rise
to the top job in SA Rugby is a journey of intense determination to succeed against
all odds: a troubled childhood, coming to terms with the fact that he would never
wear a provincial or Springbok blazer, starting out as a school coach, to his
eventual elevation to arguably the toughest job in world sport. White takes readers
into rugby’s inner sanctum, where politicking and hidden agendas sometimes
supersede the best interests of the sport, and relates the incredible highs and
desperate lows of being part of the Springbok set-up. Riveting, controversial,
sometimes amusing and often unbelievable, White’s story will both absorb
and astound.

TRADE PAPERBACK
| 1 November 2007 | LITTLE, BROWN
After their fantastic
trip round the world in 2004, fellow actors and bike fanatics Ewan McGregor and
Charley Boorman couldn't shake the travel bug. And after an inspirational UNICEF
visit to Africa, they knew they had to go back and experience this extraordinary
continent in more depth.
Joining up once more with producer/directors
Russ Malkin and David Alexanian and the Long Way Round team, and with two new
BMWs loaded up for the journey, Ewan and Charley will set off on a new adventure,
facing very different challenges. Riding from John O'Groats right down to South
Africa, they will discover spectacular but unforgiving terrain, rich cultures
and unforgettable local characters.
LONG WAY DOWN tells their story -
the drama, the dangers and the sheer exhilaration of riding together again. With
their trademark humour and honesty, Ewan and Charley embark on their incredible
journey, testing their endurance, biking skills and friendship to the limits -
on the LONG WAY DOWN.
 Cooking
with the Kosher Butcher's Wife (Paperback)
by Sharon Lurie (Author)
Written
in a humorous, fun style, COOKING WITH THE KOSHER BUTCHER’S WIFE is like
no other cookery book. It will keep eager meat lovers entertained as they try
out Sharon Lurie’s delicious recipes.
After 25 years of experimenting,
creating and improvising, Sharon finally dispels the old myth that, because cooking
with kosher meat means eating only from the forequarter, meals are limited to
tough, dry and boring meat! She proves that kosher meat is of the highest grade
and quality, and by means of notes and tips, and tried-and-tested recipes, helps
the reader prepare mouthwatering beef dishes, as well as wonderful lamb, veal
and poultry fare.
Other recipes include marinades, soups, deli delights,
side dishes, vegetables and unforgettable desserts. All the recipes in COOKING
WITH THE KOSHER BUTCHER’S WIFE are also suitable for the lactose intolerant.
With the many non-dairy substitutes available today, Sharon proves that non-dairy
desserts can be just as delectable as their dairy counterparts.
About
The Author:
Sharon Lurie’s passion for food lies solely in the fact
that ‘time out’ is time spent in the kitchen! As a kosher butcher’s
wife with easy access to a ‘limited supply’ of meat, she has enjoyed
many years of experimenting with every cut on the forequarter. As well as distributing
her original recipes to customers, Sharon has written food articles for magazines
and caters for large crowds ‘every Shabbos’! Her writing skills go back
three generations to her great grandfather, Abraham Smith, who wrote Jewish biblical
plays and books with Jewish themes

Jonathan
Deal is a travel photographer and writer who specialises in 'off the beaten track'
type features, particularly for off-road and motoring press.
His enchantment
with the Karoo began in 2002 when he and his wife bought their own piece of land
between Touws River and Montagu, where he is attempting to become a local in anticipation
of retiring there (many years away).
This vast and unique region, at once
awe-inspiring and secretive, will draw you close into its protective mantle; too
close for casual inspection by the hurried traveller. The Karoo will share its
secrets with you only if you’re prepared to sit quietly to learn its mysteries
over a plate of bobotie, a glass of witblits, and a copy of Timeless Karoo.
This
beautifully illustrated and well-written book encompasses a vast area: the geographical
expanse from Niewoudtville in the northwest, eastwards to Hopetown, south to Steytlerville
and west to Montagu. Within this region you will encounter six Karoos: the Central,
Hantam, Great, Klein, Tankwa and Northern & Upper Karoo, each with its own
stockpile of natural and human history, its own complex tapestry and prehistoric
rhythms. Each journey into the Karoo yields a fresh view, a different angle and
an urge to cut loose, swing off the tar, and pursue an uncharted dirt road into
an unknown horizon.

Jeremy Clarkson knows there’s more to life than cars. There
is, after all, a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered. So, before
he gets on to torque steer and active suspension, he’d like to take a little
time to consider the bigger picture. Don’t worry, we’ll get to the car
bit in the end, but before we do, we'll learn about: The unfortunate collapse
of the British empire... Why Galapagos tortoises are all mental... France reduced
to the size of a small coconut... Why Jeremy Paxman and the bass guitarist of
AC/DC aren’t so very different... The problems of being English... And God’s
most stupid creation... Then there are the cars: Whether it’s the poxiest
little runabout or an exotic, firebreathing supercar, no one else writes about
cars like Jeremy. Unmoved by official claims and uninterested in press junkets,
anything on four wheels is approached without fear or favour. What emerges
from the ashes is not always pretty. But it is, invariably, very, very funny.  Beautiful

Shipping Weight: 1.7 Kg Nicola Hadfield's beautiful homes of South
Africa features a diverse selection of stylish, characterful homes, all with their
own sense of identity and bearing testimony to a truly South African lifestyle.
This South African-inspired decor title includes only private homes belonging
to South Africans.
By limiting the number of homes shown, Nicola has been
able to present the genuine feel of the home and the owners' individual creativity
and preferred lifestyle choice.
South African style comes from the heart,
from personal experiences; it sometimes necessitates hand-crafting rather than
sophisticated design machinery. As a result, the book is also a showcase for South
African artists, sculptors and craftspeople. The idea behind the book is to inspire
and to create a positive awareness of South African design.  Namibia

Namibia – A Visual Celebration
is part of the popular, large-format “Visual Celebration” series. All
the mysterious aspects of this stark and compelling land are dramatically depicted
in an astounding collection of photographs – from the fragility of the mist-enshrouded
coastline in the west to the hot, dry wasteland of the interior.
The cultural
diversity of Namibia’s sparse population has not escaped the camera’s
eye, nor has the plant life, much of it unique to this land. Also featured in
the book is the wildlife – surprisingly abundant here – which has adapted
to survive triumphantly in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
The images
captured in the book of this country’s ever-changing landscapes are ones
that will stay with the reader forever.
