  'Eli linge libaluleke kakhulu kumzi ontsundu olahlekileyo. Xa sivuselela izinto zenkcubeko yethu esalahlekana nazo ngonoquku, mhla kwafika iintlanga zasemzini.' – Dr Loyiso Nqevu
  Returning to the family homestead in the Eastern Cape for the holidays, and worried that your city ways and less than perfect knowledge of Xhosa culture will get you a wagging finger in the face from ooMalume – the uncles?
  No need to fret. Don't Upset ooMalume! captures the essence of Xhosa heritage and culture, and explores different aspects of village life. It covers a range of topics, from major Xhosa life ceremonies and traditional clothing, to the significance of uronta (the rondavel) and ubuhlanti (the kraal). Not forgetting the importance of traditional food, the author describes popular dishes, edible forage and even medicinal plants.
  This book was born from writer and agriculturalist Hombakazki Mercy Nqandeka's concern that aspects of Xhosa heritage will be lost to future generations. By interweaving her guide to Xhosa culture with stories from her daily life at Mqele and Bulungula villages, and lessons taught to her by her mother and her late grandmothers, she hopes to help reconnect Xhosa people to their roots.
  Akukho nto imnandi ngathi kukungeqiwa ziindaba xa kuncokolwa ngesiXhosa esintsokothileyo nesineziqhulo. Bathi bezincokolela abantu abadala bexuba nakwintetho yokuhlonipha ube usiva yonke into abayithethayo. Oko kubonisa ukuzingca nokuzingomba isifuba ngolwimi lakho lesiXhosa.
  Le ncwadi yenzelwe abantu abasithandayo isiXhosa nabafuna ukufunda nzulu ngolwimi nenkcubeko yesiXhosa. Ungabadanisi ooMalume, lola isiXhosa sakho ngale ncwadi.

  A Brief History of Timekeeping -...

  Predating written language and marching on through human history, the desire for ever-better timekeeping has spurred technological innovation and sparked theories that radically reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. 
   
   
   
  Chad Orzel, a physicist and bestselling author, continues his tradition of demystifying thorny scientific concepts by using the clocks and calendars central to our everyday activities as a jumping-off point to explore the science underlying the ways we keep track of our time. Ancient solstice markers depend on the basic astrophysics of our solar system; mechanical clocks owe their development to Newtonian physics; and the ultra-precise atomic timekeeping that enables GPS hinges on the predictable oddities of quantum mechanics. 
   
    
   
  Along the way, Orzel visits the delicate negotiations involved in Gregorian calendar reform, the intricate and entirely unique system employed by the Maya, and how the problem of synchronizing clocks at different locations ultimately required us to abandon the idea of time as an absolute and universal quantity. Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.

  The human eye is one of the most complex and vital organs in the body, enabling individuals to perceive the world in vivid detail. Sight is not only a primary means of experiencing life but also a crucial factor in overall well-being. Despite its importance, eye health is often overlooked until vision problems arise. Many common eye conditions develop gradually, making early detection and preventive care essential. Understanding the significance of eye health is the first step toward maintaining clear vision and preventing long-term complications. 
  One of the most critical reasons for prioritizing eye health is the role of vision in daily life. From reading and driving to recognizing faces and navigating environments, sight influences nearly every aspect of human activity. Poor vision can significantly impact quality of life, leading to difficulties in education, work, and social interactions. Children with undiagnosed vision problems may struggle in school, while adults with deteriorating eyesight can experience reduced productivity and increased dependence on others. Addressing eye health early helps ensure that vision remains strong and functional throughout life.
