Alexander Cold knows that his grandmother Kate is never far from an adventure. So when International Geographic commissions her to write an article about the first elephant-led safaris in Africa, they head – with Nadia Santos and the magazine's photography crew – to the blazing, red plains of Kenya. Days into the tour, a Catholic missionary approaches the camp in search of his companions who have mysteriously disappeared.      Kate, Alexander, Nadia, and their team, agree to aid the rescue and enlist the help of a local pilot to lead them to the swampy forests of Ngoube. There they discover a clan of Pygmies and a harsh, surprising world of corruption, slavery, and poaching.

One night in 1987 an abandoned baby girl is found in a cleaning cupboard at Heathrow airport. A year earlier, three girls, Martha, Clio and Jocasta had met by chance at the start of a backpacking adventure: travelling together briefly then separating, swearing to meet again when they return home.      But it is years later, when Kate, the foundling, is a teenager, that the three women do meet once more. Martha is a fiercely single, highly paid corporate lawyer; Clio is a doctor locked in an unhappy marriage; and Jocasta is a reporter for a tabloid newspaper.      Which of them is Kate's mother and why was she desperate enough to do what she did?

Caroline Myss is a world-renowned medical intuitive and hugely popular motivational speaker whose simple, powerful message is that each of us is born with an inherent spiritual task, a sacred contract to learn to use our personal power responsibly, wisely and lovingly. In this new teaching, she argues that we are most godlike, most powerful and most apt to increase our own power when we act with true generosity towards others.      Myss draws on her own experience and that of 1,200 readers who wrote to her about their lives and the acts of kindness that have transformed them.

Admired by many nations, the South African Constitution and Bill of Rights are widely acknowledged as among the most progressive and inclusive in the world today. How did South Africa evolve from a country notorious for its human rights abuses to one that is today a leading light for other countries grappling with issues of oppression in its many forms?      With rare intelligence and insight, the editors of Legacy of Freedom: The ANC’s Human Rights Tradition, answer this question by selecting and presenting the most significant landmarks in the history of the African National Congress that contributed to shaping South Africa’s future on the long and painful road to human dignity, equality and opportunity for all the people of South Africa.
