What if I had told you that the mechanism of your brain is like plasticine and could be moulded to your own unique set of beliefs and hence abilities? Could you afford not to even try to step into a new reality? Would you dare?
Ornithology, cultural sociology, & nature conservation mingle in this splendid book. The author spent his boyhood on the bird-rich slopes of the northern parts of the Drakensberg Mountain range. He & his friends frequently ventured into the forests, hunting birds. His strong association with birds developed during that time-but so did his sense of guilt. From this conflict emerged a thoughtful conservationist. Who decided to ultimately write a book.
This led the author into research on how and why birds were given names in his native North Sotho, and why certain birds behaviours were so accurately interpreted by their traditional black neighbours. He soon realized that an enriching relationship existed between birds and people, and that it was a relationship well worth preserving.
One day I suddenly thought, “My goodness, where’s Gareth?” So, I started looking. Last I heard, he was working with the British Army in Iraq, doing long stints: I tracked him down to prison cell in Kuwait. He had been used as a drug mule, nabbed and sentenced to death by hanging. His death was commuted to life and then further reduced to 15 years. When I located him, he had already been inside for four years. Thereafter I sent him a letter, every month, for 67 consecutive months. My Letters to Kuwait, were received by Gareth on his hidden device: news and comment on life in South Africa, my reflections on humanity and our world.
Seventeen years old and faced with the most difficult situation of her young life. The only problem was that she had no idea what was actually wrong with her. Leukaemia? What is that? It’s cancer. ‘Am I going to die’, she asked.
This book is inspired by the struggles the author has seen young people being subjected to in his neighbourhood and around his country; from all sorts of abuse to murdering and killing each other.

This book aims to motivate, encourage and empower young, ambitious people who think that their background determines their success. The book proves this wrong by exploring and breaking down the nature of success to its core. It will help the reader to revolt against the ordinary and pursue the extraordinary.
This book addresses the challenges confronting most married couples. The author is convinced that marriage is fully hinged on the concepts of trust, honesty, sincerity, integrity, and credibility. He pays special attention to some of the views of other writers' who have tackled this thorny topic. This author believes that a grand principle of a good marriage consists in open self-disclosure between couples, and he concurs with views of others that marriages undergo three levels of self - manifestation: a superficial level, an exploratory level and a profound or intimate level. The author hopes that this book will become a compelling read for everyone who have voluntarily entered the twists and turns of a serious relationship.
