An ancient expedition. An epic adventure. An enduring love. After stumbling across records of an ancient gold-seeking expedition to Africa, Con Slaughter – adventurer, prospector, gunfighter – strikes it rich on the Barberton gold fields. But the intrepid American is soon on the move again, fearing a bullet in the back due to his involvement in a plot between England and Germany that could alter the course of history. When Con meets Lorelei, he decides to stop running, but British and German Military Intelligence are gaining on him. From facing the fierce onslaughts of wild animals and witnessing men die unspeakable deaths to becoming embroiled in the Boer War, Con has to live by his wits and courage to navigate and survive the harsh southern African veld. Gold Never Rusts is a sweeping, richly imagined adventure story that draws the reader irresistibly into the action, mystery and passions of a bygone time.
’n Antieke ekspedisie. ’n Naelbyt-avontuur. ’n Aangrypende liefde. Con Slaughter – myningenieur, rewolwervegter en avonturier – maak sy fortuin tydens die goudstormloop op Barberton, meer as ’n millennium nadat die koningin van Skeba ’n ekspedisie na die suide van Afrika gestuur het. Verstrengel in ’n komplot tussen England en Duitsland wat die verloop van die geskiedenis kan verander, vrees Slaughter egter heeltyd ’n koeël in die rug. Hy vind vir ’n wyle vrede in die arms van sy Lorelei, maar Britse en Duitse Militêre Intelligensie trek die strop al nouer. Slaughter leef op ’n mespunt: van ’n amperdood deur wilde diere tot die gruweldade van die Boereoorlog. Die veld van Afrika is onverbiddelik, en dit is hier waar hy tot die uiterste beproef word. Paul-Constant Smit se Goud kan nie roes nie is ’n meesleurende avontuurverhaal vol aksie, intrige en passie vir ’n vervloë tyd.

Understanding Reading revolutionized reading research and theory when the first edition appeared in 1971 and continues to be a leader in the field. In the sixth edition of this classic text, Smith's purpose remains the same: to shed light on fundamental aspects of the complex human act of reading--linguistic, physiological, psychological, and social--and on what is involved in learning to read. The text critically examines current theories, instructional practices, and controversies, covering a wide range of disciplines but always remaining accessible to students and classroom teachers. Careful attention is given to the ideological clash that continues between whole language and direct instr...
