Unique images by veteran photographer Liebenberg are included, taken in stealth where cameras were outlawed, and because he managed to get to both sides of the conflict. The book traces the marks left by war on individuals on both sides, as much as on the region that was the theatre of operations – on its landscape, its cultural and its political life. It follows the conflict through to the aftermath: the arrival of the United Nations transitional authority and the advent of democracy in Namibia, showing many of the fault lines exposed in the process. The photographs, mostly in black and white, in large format, speak eloquently for themselves, with captions reduced to the minimum. No blame is apportioned in this, southwestern Africa’s Vietnam.With historically contextualizing introduction by historian Hayes.

South African cuisine is a unique blend of the culinary art of many different cultures—the Dutch, French, German and British settlers, as well as the Malays who came from the East, all brought their own recipes to this country. The subtle adaptation of these ‘imported’ recipes in the addition of local ingredients and the introduction of innovative cooking methods have made for an original, much-loved cuisine. This book also features interesting snippets about the early newcomer’s way of life. Anyone who longs for a beloved grandmother’s famous milk tart or melkkos, or a great aunt’s delicious bobotie or vetkoek, should have this book in his or her kitchen!

Following the success of Troepie: From Call-up to Camps, Cameron Blake’s new book looks at National Service from a number of different angles. The book contains seven in-depth accounts from a diverse selection of former conscripts – a recce, a dog handler, a mortarist, a parabat, a gunner, a loadmaster, a military policeman and a marine – who take you through their entire military careers and provide detailed insider’s information on each role. A number of frank and often humorous letters home from a soldier to his fiancée are also included in the book, and there are interviews with women – mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends – who talk about how National Service affected them and their men. And, finally, former soldiers look back at their time in the army and reveal the powerful and lasting effects it has had on them and how they view it from the perspective of the present.

The popularity of TV programs such as the CSI trilogy attests to people’s fascination with forensic science as a means of solving crimes, and this book follows the pathway into forensics via the fields of anthropology and anatomy. Missing &amp; Murdered explains the practice of forensic anthropology and the skills base of skeletal biology, while at the same time debunking the ‘CSI effect’ (the phenomenon of popular television raising crime victims’ real-world expectations of forensic science, especially crime-scene investigation and DNA testing). From muti murders, criminal cases and the Missing Persons Task Team to the study of archaeological skeletons, Missing &amp; Murdered will grip and engross readers from one intriguing chapter to the next.
