Country: South Africa
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: The Penguin Group (SA) (Pty) Ltd
ISBN: 9780143026044

There is no better way to shrug off the pressures of the modern living than to grab a bunch of mates and hit the road - immerse yourself in natural surroundings - and, while you're out there, stop, cook up a storm and party on down. Eat, drink and lekker kuier, then next time pack it all up and do it somewhere else. Sound like a really excellent jol? It is. This is a freewheeling compilation of fare that you can enjoy on the rocks, on rivers and off the road; it comes courtesy of amateur chef and life enthusiast Justin Bonello, presenter of Cooked in Africa. You'll find plenty of homespun wisdom, edgy views and fresh angles as the crew and company venture into the wilds where they capture it all - the scenery, the adventure, the interaction and, of course, the food.

3.5 billion years of South African history condensed into 18,000 words and 140 pictures. In this unique potted history, Francis Wilson takes you from prehistoric times when dinosaurs infinitely older than the Jurassic juveniles ruled the subcontinent, to the time when mankind's ancestors first saw beyond the boundaries that separate the animal kingdom from humankind, to the earthbound cultures of the first peoples, to the arrival of southbound peoples from deepest Africa and the landing of pale people on the shores, to the ensuing conflicts over centuries, to the discovery of the planet's treasure trove underneath the soil, to the wealth that built modern South Africa, with all of its shadows, and to the most fabled triumph of freedom in modern history.

This is a unique moment for British design. The generation which shaped the emergence of design in the post war years, from Robin Day and Kenneth Grange to Terence Conran, is still active at the same time as young designers born half a century later are coming to prominence with innovative explorations of the implications for design of a very different technological and social climate. "Design in Britain" discusses the major figures that have led the way and those who have turned it on its head. Divided by subject matter, chapters include: Architecture - how the shape of commercial rebuilding has evolved in Britain; Identity - how the logos and marks measure out the history of Britain; After the Object - the web-based expansion of the definition of what constitutes design; Fashion - a measured account of the ideas and the reality behind British fashion; Graphic Design - an account of the successive creative waves of graphic design in Britain; Furniture Design - a view of what it is that has made British design special from the outside; Industrial Design - a critical response to the interaction between design in the commercial sense, and in the cultural sphere, and, Car Design - how Britain is building more cars than ever, but in foreign owned factories. With each chapter written by an international expert in that field, this really is the most comprehensive account of what it is that has given Britain a special place in design.

What were Livingstone and his fellow Europeans after? The author who gave us Dark Continent my Black Arse travels to the heart of Africa to see for himself. The author travels into Africa by public transport, and this time to its continental core where the Great Lakes are. Ever the wandering stooge, he recounts with his signature wit and charm the sometimes impossible travails in getting from one point to another, even if the two are not remote at all. However, a much matured storyteller emerges from the pages, making the reading of this book an even more rewarding experience.
