Running Africa - Cape to Cairo –...

Keith Boyd

11,000 km, 301 days, 1 Guinness World Record 
Why would a 57-year-old with a genetic heart condition attempt the fastest journey on foot from Cape Town to Cairo? 
In Running Africa, Keith Boyd tells the story of his epic run, complete with injuries, illness, being taken hostage, getting caught up in a rebel firefight, and having members of his team imprisoned. 
From a soft start in South Africa to increasing danger and hardship as he headed further north, Keith reminds himself – and us – of why he undertook the journey. 
After a business career spanning 40 years, Keith repurposed himself as a socio-economic activist, determined to make a dent in the greatest issue of our time: poverty. 
He founded RainbowLeaders.org.za to motivate young Africans to vote, elect great leaders and hold them accountable – and soon realised that the organisation needed a platform to spread awareness of its message. His audacious attempt to break the 25-year-old Guinness World Record became that platform.

Nature

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson's Nature is not just an essay—it's a rebellion against confinement, an argument against secondhand wisdom. He strips away artifice, forcing us to confront the raw, untamed presence of the world. To walk through the woods, he suggests, is to be undressed of civilization, to shed the weight of customs, history, and ego. Nature demands no commentary, no theory—it simply is.
This is not the sentimental nature of poets, nor the docile landscape of painters. Emerson's nature is unsettling, absolute. It dwarfs human concerns, shames our institutions, and reduces grandeur to irrelevance. It teaches, but never speaks. It heals, but never consoles. It is, above all, free—and it mocks those who try to own or define it.
He challenges us: why do we live in exile from the elemental? Why do we build palaces only to stare longingly at the horizon? The stars, the trees, the shifting light—they whisper something we've forgotten. To listen is not just to understand nature, but to remember who we were before we forgot to look.

Risking Life for Death - Lessons...

Ryan Blumenthal

Every contact leaves a trace: a single strand of hair or a tiny droplet of blood can be the silent witness at a crime scene.
Locard's Exchange Principle underpins all forensic science and holds that the perpetrator of a crime will bring something to the crime scene and leave with something from it.
Forensic experts use this principle daily to catch murderers and assailants. In Risking Life for Death, South African forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal offers a master class in this singular forensic technique based on real-life case studies. With more than twenty years' experience in the field, Blumenthal explains how to look for clues and traces, and how what he does not find at autopsy is often more important than what he does find. In other words, the absence of evidence can sometimes be of greater value than the presence of evidence.
His account also highlights the dangers forensic pathologists are exposed to daily. As they try to unravel the puzzle of someone's death, forensic pathologists often face life-threatening infections, toxic gases and the hazards associated with high-profile cases – in effect, risking their life to solve someone else's death.
An understanding of Locard's Exchange Principle can help you become a medical detective in your own life, can help you be a happier person and can even provide you with a better philosophy for growing older, Blumenthal argues.

Yankee Doodle Dandy - George M...

Elizabeth Titrington Craft

Playwright, composer, actor, director, and producer George M. Cohan looms large in musical theater legend. Remembered today for classic tunes like "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "Give My Regards to Broadway," he has been called "the father of musical comedy," and his statue stands in the heart of the New York theater district. Cohan's early twentieth-century shows and songs captured the spirit of an era when staggering social change gave new urgency to efforts to define Americanism. He was an Irish American who had the audacity to represent himself as the Yankee Doodle emblem of the nation, a vaudevillian who had the nerve to unapologetically climb the ranks and package his lower-brow style as Broadway. 
 
 
 
In Yankee Doodle Dandy, the first book on Cohan in fifty years, author Elizabeth T. Craft situates Cohan as a central figure of his day. Examining his multifaceted contributions and the various sociocultural identities he came to embody, Craft shows how Cohan and his works indelibly shaped the American cultural landscape. Informative and engaging, this book offers rich listening for Broadway musical aficionados as well as scholars of musical theater and American cultural history.
