    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.

  • Toni Morrison's Spiritual Vision - Faith Folktales and Feminism in Her Life and Literature - cover

    Toni Morrison's Spiritual Vision...

    When Toni Morrison died in August 2019, she was widely remembered for her contributions to literature as an African American woman, an identity she wore proudly. Morrison was clear that she wrote from a Black, female perspective and for others who shared her identity. But just as much as she was an African American writer, Toni Morrison was a woman of faith. 
 
 
 
Morrison filled her novels with biblical allusions, magic, folktales, and liberated women, largely because Christianity, African American folk magic, and powerful women defined her own life. Her relatives, particularly her mother, were good storytellers, and her family's oral tradition included ghost stories and African American folktales. But her family was also Christian. As a child, Morrison converted to Catholicism and chose a baptismal name that truly became her own—Anthony, from St. Anthony of Padua—going from Chloe to Toni. Morrison embraced both Catholicism and the occult as a child and, later, as a writer. She was deeply religious, and her spirituality included the Bible, the paranormal, and the folktales she heard as a child. 
 
 
 
Toni Morrison's Spiritual Vision unpacks this oft-ignored, but essential, element of Toni Morrison's work—her religion—and in so doing, gives listeners a deeper, richer understanding of her life and her writing.

    This audiobook is an altered version of the Master’s thesis Lean Production Scale-up. How a startup can scale the manufacturing of physical product innovation by Ilkka Taponen. Approximately half of the original thesis has been removed to suit the audiobook format. The audiobook edit has been designed for an audience familiar with startups and business, meaning that large portions of the basics have been removed from the Theory chapter.Today the market entry for new ideas and entrepreneurs is easier than ever as the digital age is reshaping how business is done. Through digitalization, the business environment has become highly open and widely connected. The combinations of digital technologies like edge computing and artificial intelligence, AI, enable new business model opportunities. In this fast-changing environment, the most important thing is to learn as fast as possible what to do next and what is worth doing at all. Multiple non-fiction books like The Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank and Lean Startup by Eric Ries study the modern internet-era startup business environment.Still, one aspect has not been included in the broader public discussion. The tools presented in Lean Startup concentrate on finding the market fit as efficiently as possible but assume that the same level of uncertainties does not exist in the company's internal processes. “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters” is a famous quote by startup investor Peter Thiel. Behind the quote is the notion that there is something different and more challenging about developing physical technologies compared to online services. Manufacturing, indeed, is an underrated problem. It is much harder to take advanced technology and bring it to volume manufacturing than to design it in the first place.

    Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (October 27, 1858 - January 6, 1919) was an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He previously served as the 25th vice president under President William McKinley from March to September 1901 and as the 33rd governor of New York from 1899 to 1900. Assuming the presidency after McKinley's assassination, Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for anti-trust and Progressive policies. When running as the third-party Progressive (Bull Moose) candidate for president of the United States in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt recorded a number of campaign speeches made in August of 1912, including "The 'Abyssinian Treatment' Administered to Standard Oil" and "Why the Trusts and Bosses Oppose the Progressive Party," a criticism of 1912 presidential election opponent, Woodrow Wilson, and a greeting to the American Boy's Progressive League on March 4, 1913.
