Over a legal career spanning 26 years, advocate Glynnis Breytenbach earned a reputation as one of the country’s most formidable state prosecutors, her infamous stare piercing the defences of many. Now a member of parliament and the Democratic Alliance’s shadow minister for justice, Glynnis finally shares how her life in and out of court shaped her into the outspoken, sometimes hard-headed, always principled woman she is, and the public figure she never wanted to be. In Rule of Law, Glynnis provides personal commentary on the evolution and importance of an independent judiciary in South Africa, and explains why the rule of law is critical to the foundation and the future of the country. Her account offers fascinating insights, a critical analysis of some of South Africa’s recent legal and political cliffhangers, and a suggestion as to how the law can help us find a way forward as a country.

From the first to the last page, I thoroughly enjoyed Dominion. The storyline was interesting, in that there were a number of parallels to where we find ourselves today - the move to the political right and action taken against minorities, that we thought would never happen again.
The suspense was layered and kept me thinking all the way through.
When compared to "Winter in Madrid", which I thoroughly enjoyed, by the same author, I preferred Dominion. Sorry that CJ Sansom only wrote the Shardlake series and these two novels!
Reach All Readers: Using the Science of Reading to transform Your Literacy Instruction
This is an outstanding book by Anna Geiger. Like her, I recently became aware of the research known as the Science of Reading. In fact, it was largely through her blog, The Measured Mom, that I became aware of it.
The book is easy to read and filled with much practical information. It should be a go-to guide for anyone who is starting to delve into the research and looking for practical ways to implement it in their teaching.
