Proof of Heaven
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING ACCOUNT OF A NEUROSURGEON'S OWN NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE.Internationally acclaimed neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander always considered himself a man of science. His unwavering belief in evidence-based medicine fuelled a career in the top medical institutions of the world. But all this was set to change. One morning in 2008 he fell into a coma after suffering a rare form of bacterial meningitis. Scans of his brain revealed massive damage. Death was deemed the most likely outcome. As his family prepared themselves for the worst, something miraculous happened. Dr Alexander's brain went from near total inactivity to awakening. He made a full recovery but he was never the same. He woke certain of the infinite reach of the soul, he was certain of a life beyond death. In this astonishing book, Dr Alexander shares his experience, pieced together from the notes he made as soon as he was able to write again. Unlike other accounts of near-death experiences, he is able to explain in depth why his brain was incapable of fabricating the journey he experienced. His story is one of profound beauty and inspiration.

Dispossession of fertile, mineral-rich land is correctly repeated as the root cause of the economic precarity of Black people in South Africa. Colonial wars are rightly foregrounded but in a way that frames black people as having existed outside of organised enterprise. This book builds and adds dimension to the picture of black people's economic participation, taking the narrative from pre-colonial mining and spanning the colonial and apartheid periods, detailing tactics of economic exclusion.

To the Wolves
Cops and Robbers: we think we know how to tell the good guys from the bad, but when it comes to Cape Town’s crime scene, things are anything but clear cut. Controlled by gangs, fuelled by drugs and policed by cops that, all too often, get caught on the wrong side of the action. Among the Cape Town cops who have consistently claimed that colleagues are trying to pin crimes on them are Major General Andre Lincoln (former head of a national police unit mandated by Nelson Mandela), Major General Jeremy Vearey (known as SA’s top gang buster) and Lieutenant Colonel Charl Kinnear (who was investigating some of the country's most brutal underworld crimes when he was assassinated in September 2020). Colleagues and suspects alike pointed to all three as colluding with criminals. Who is telling the truth? Journalist Caryn Dolley has tracked this tangled trail, following the corruption breadcrumbs, sifting through court documents, laying fact upon fact and exposing the depths and breadth of systemic corruption that was set in place during apartheid and has only become more entrenched during the first decades of our democracy. She has traced the rot from cops to underworld to politicians and back, exposing duplicitous networks that have for decades ensnared South Africa in an expanding cycle of organised crime and cop claim crossfire. At the centre of this crisis is the mounting collateral: the victims of Cape Town’s manufactured killing fields. To The Wolves tells the true life story of how South Africa’s underworld came to be, what continues to fuel it today and how the deception and lies go all the way to the top...

After finishing Grade 12 at a boarding - school in the Free State, Treasure Mohapi moved back home in Westonaria, a town in the west of Gauteng province. Home however wasn't where she wanted to be as she longed for uncomplicated friendships and her dysfunctional family couldn't offer her that. Her friend, Bianca encouraged her to become a model and pursue her dreams and with an intent of supporting herself, she left home and moved in with her other friend Lintle in a flat in Braamfontein. Welcomed by Lintle with open arms and a warm heart, Treasure oozed a bit with confidence that all will be well. But, building a life in a big city doesn't come easy and Treasure watched the tall buildings, fancy cars and well-dressed men and women zoom past as they drove north through the city. She thought designer shoes, beautiful dresses and weaves and asked how can she fulfil all that she desires when she hasn't started working. The words "relax; all you need is a Minister of Finance in your life - someone who will support your desires", came out of Lintle's mouth. Money is a weapon; its ammunition is pleasure. But is the pleasure worth the pain and endless sacrifices?

Choice
This is the true story about a man who led one of the biggest prison exposes in the world. A group of prisoners risked their lives to catch wardens on film supplying drugs and alcohol, pimping young inmates to older prisoners, and even giving prisoners a loaded pistol to use in an escape. The man behind the expose, however, a hardened prison gangster, was possibly the least likely to have ever wanted to do it. He ruled prison, and knows its secret anatomy. Though he is well known for his inspirational talks, his complete story and the shocking facts of prison life, are told in this title for the first time. The narrative opens with his childhood as a coloured boy in Heidedal, outside Bloemfontein. Gayton excelled at school and was a promising athlete. He was, however, seduced by gangster life, but not before heartfelt participation in struggle activities, which ultimately disappointed him and led him to choose crime as a career. He was a very successful criminal and made millions robbing banks, illegal casinos, filling stations and more. For five years his lucky streak as a criminal continued and though he was arrested and charged sixteen times, he was not sentenced.Finally, when he was sent to prison, he worked to become one of its most feared and powerful inmates. After seven years, he witnessed the brutal gang rape of a young white boy. A conversation with this boy the next morning made him re-evaluate his entire life. He knew that he had to change. The rape was the product of a corrupt system that simply could not protect children and Gayton made a promise that he would first change himself as a man, and then try to change the horror of prison. He had made a promise to the boy that justice could be found. The result was the Grootvlei expose, which was filmed at great risk, and later aired on both national television and around the world. The 'Grootvlei Four,' as they became known, were lucky to escape with their lives, but Gayton and the other video-makers were finally released from jail after much victimisation. Gayton married the Jali Commission advocate sent to investigate the corruption at his prison. He went on to become one of South Africa's top motivational speakers, after being given corporate sponsorship to speak at thousands of schools around the country.This is part of his bid to discourage crime among the youth and prevent as many children as possible from making the same mistakes that led to the numerous child rapes he witnessed during his time in jail. The title ends with a meditation on how South Africa has changed in the time Gayton was jailed, and how his own change is a reflection of the greater change in the country.

Creativity, Inc.
As a young man, Ed Catmull had a dream: to make the world’s first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream first as a Ph.D. student at the University of Utah, where many computer science pioneers got their start, and then forged an early partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later and against all odds, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever.Since then, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner twenty-seven Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Now, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques, honed over years, that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable.Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation Studios—into the story meetings, the postmortems, and the ‘Braintrust’ sessions where art is born. It is, at heart, a book about how to build and sustain a creative culture—but it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, ‘an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible.’
