Shara Kennington joins her father on a research mission to Antarctica. She falls through the ice and into the hidden world of Shalemar, where her coming has been foretold for 500 years. She fights in a bloody revolution, wins the love of a king, and earns the respect of his fellow warriors. A Prophecy predicted the coming of a savior who will bring Shalemar lasting peace. The people embrace her as The One. Her resolve is tested by war and nation building, imprisonment and freedom, and the clash of her modern perspective with Shalemar's traditional culture. Founded in 1531 by shipwrecked pirates, Shalemar has evolved along a different trajectory from the Outside World. Shara experiences poignant encounters and humorous missteps coming to know a people lost in time in a land where the sun rises and sets only once each year. Her story is a hopeful tale of love and friendship, epic adventure, and the transformation of a reluctant heroine into an intrepid queen worthy of the mantle thrust upon her by a people who have awaited her coming for five centuries.
Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom is an entertaining and engaging guide to global economic history told for the first time from an African perspective. In thirty-five short chapters Johan Fourie tells the story of 100,000 years of human history spanning humankind's migration out of Africa to the Covid-19 pandemic. His unique account reveals just how much we can learn by asking unexpected questions such as 'How could a movie embarrass Stalin?', 'Why do the Japanese play rugby?' and 'What do an Indonesian volcano, Frankenstein and Shaka Zulu have in common?'. The book sheds new light on urgent debates about the roots and reasons for prosperity, the march of opportunity versus the crushing boot of exploitation, and why it is the builders of society – rather than the burglars –who ultimately win out.
The ravaging effects of illness, the breakup of a relationship and the disturbing nature of relocation. These are the subjects under award-winning Luke Davies' meditative eye.

Exploring the meanings and powers of love from ancient Greece to the present day, Richard Gilman-Opalsky argues that what is called “love” by the best thinkers who have approached the subject is in fact the beating heart of communism—understood as a way of living, not as a form of government. Along the way, he reveals with clarity that the capitalist way of assigning value to things is incapable of appreciating what humans value most. Capitalism cannot value the experiences and relationships that make our lives worth living and can only destroy love by turning it into a commodity. The Communism of Love follows the struggles of love in different contexts of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and shows how the aspiration for love is as close as we may get to a universal communist aspiration.
