  When do you become an adult? What does it mean to grow up? And what are the experiences that propel us forward ? or keep us stuck? 
   
  As we get older, we pass many milestones, but for some of us it can feel as if adulthood is always just out of reach. 
   
  Journalist and psychotherapist-in-training Moya Sarner goes on a journey into what growing up really involves, and how we do it again and again throughout our lives. She draws on case studies, as well as her training, and theories of child psychology, psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and more, to explore what it means to be a ‘grown up’ and how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of every stage of our lives.

  Transformation of Rome - From...

  This bundle traces one of the most pivotal shifts in world history—the evolution of Rome from a democratic republic to a sprawling autocratic empire, and ultimately to its dramatic collapse. The journey begins with the political structures of the early Republic, where consuls, senators, and assemblies worked in a delicate balance of power. Readers will discover how the ideals of civic duty and public service were gradually overshadowed by corruption, ambition, and the thirst for control, setting the stage for inevitable conflict. 
  The second part centers on the charismatic and controversial figure of Julius Caesar, whose rise exposed the Republic’s vulnerabilities. His military conquests, political maneuvering, and ultimate assassination marked the end of the old order. Following his death, the book charts the tumultuous path to empire—highlighting the power struggles between Octavian, Antony, and Cleopatra that ended in the birth of the Roman Empire under Augustus. Reforms, propaganda, and centralization of authority created a new Rome—one ruled by emperors, not elected officials. 
  In the final section, the focus broadens to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. From the Pax Romana to the chaos of civil wars, barbarian invasions, and economic crises, readers will see how internal instability and external pressure chipped away at the once-unbreakable empire. This segment also explores Rome's lasting legacy in law, architecture, language, and governance. Transformation of Rome offers a sweeping, yet richly detailed narrative of power, collapse, and the enduring impact of one of history’s greatest civilizations.

  Qing Dynasty - China's Last...

  The Qing Dynasty, China’s last imperial dynasty, emerged from the northeastern frontier, led by the Manchu people. Before establishing their rule over China, the Manchus were a semi-nomadic group descended from the Jurchens, who had previously ruled northern China under the Jin Dynasty. In the early 17th century, Nurhaci, a formidable leader, laid the foundation for Manchu power by unifying various Jurchen tribes and adopting administrative and military structures inspired by the Ming Dynasty. His successor, Hong Taiji, continued these efforts, formally establishing the Qing Dynasty in 1636. However, the conquest of China was still incomplete, as the Ming Dynasty continued to rule the heartland. 
  The decline of the Ming Dynasty provided an opportunity for the Qing to assert their dominance. By the early 17th century, the Ming government was weakened by internal corruption, peasant uprisings, and economic distress exacerbated by famine and mismanagement. The most devastating of these rebellions was led by Li Zicheng, a former postal worker turned insurgent, whose forces overran Beijing in 1644. The fall of the Ming capital marked a critical turning point. With the Ming emperor dead and the central government in disarray, a Ming general, Wu Sangui, faced a difficult choice: resist the rebel forces or seek outside aid. He chose the latter, opening the gates of the Great Wall at Shanhai Pass to the advancing Qing army. The Manchus, under the leadership of Prince Dorgon, seized the moment, swiftly capturing Beijing and declaring the establishment of Qing rule.

  A national Bestseller 
  In 1988, South Africa teeters on the brink of chaos. Seventeen-year-old Bradley Steyn crosses Pretoria’s Strijdom Square and walks into a nightmare: Barend Strydom, the white supremacist ‘Wit Wolf,’ massacres black bystanders during their lunch break. Bradley cradles a dying man, confronting the insanity of a nation unraveling. Haunted by PTSD, consumed by rage, he spirals—until his parents send him to the SA Navy. There, the apartheid regime’s Security Branch recruits him as a classified enforcer to ‘fight Communism.’ But the underground ANC’s Department of Intelligence and Security (DIS) has other plans, pulling him into their fold. 
  As FW de Klerk rises, the ANC is unbanned, and Nelson Mandela walks free, a sinister Third Force—neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the deep state—schemes to ignite a race war. With South Africa’s future at stake, Bradley goes undercover for the DIS to thwart a plot to assassinate Mandela at his inauguration. Racing against time, can he unravel the extremists’ plan before they discover he’s one of Mandela’s spies? This gripping true-life thriller unveils secrets of a dirty war and holds up a historical mirror, revealing how to resist an authoritarian, weaponised political regime today.
