'This book is of "ships and shoes and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings."  Autobiography, politics, medicine, philosophy and social reconstruction.  An attempt to make people think of the time when the present universal era of blood-letting will come to an end. The methods the author advocates in treating one human problem can easily be adapted to our returning soldiers, women discharged from munition factories, accountants turned into gunners, lawyers into minesweepers and bakers into fliers.' A fascinating glimpse into the life of a doctor in a small town, Helfontein, in the early part of the twentieth century.  Hard cover, fair condition.  The dust cover is a bit damaged but the book itself is fine.  232 pages.  First edition, published in 1943 by Central News Agency South Africa.

As an Indian woman who had experienced racial oppression first-hand, she decided to use her degree in law to fight for the rights of her fellow people and do all she could to bring down the Apartheid state - who saw her as a very real threat. At one time she represented every single political prisoner on Robben Island, including both the late Nelson Mandela and his wife Winnie. Priscilla spent her days in court, fighting human rights case after human rights case, but it was at night when her real work was done. As part of an underground cell, she fought tirelessly to bring down the hated government. This activism, however, came at a price. One of South Africa's infamous 'banned persons', for five years Priscilla was unable to take part in any political activities, enter any place where a large number of people were gathered, and had her movements severely restricted. Worse, her own home was attacked with petrol bombs on multiple occasions. Undeterred, Priscilla Jana continued her work, even adopting the baby daughter of a client imprisoned on Robben Island, bringing here up, educating her, and providing a loving home. Finally, upon Mandela's release and the political revolution of her beloved country, Priscilla's work was rewarded, as she was elected as a member of South Africa's first democratic parliament. Later, she was to become an ambassador to both The Netherlands and Ireland. Now retired and living in Cape Town, Priscilla still works and waits for her most fervent desire: the true healing and unification of South Africa.

Taking his Grandma Rubinsky’s advice that “there’s no university that can give a degree in common sense”, Marc Wainer used his uncommon wealth of common sense, along with a good deal of hard work, to make his mark in the world of commercial property. Using skills he first acquired while working in his parent’s grocer’s store as a child and later developed in the army (a wonderful environment for deal-making), he was always going places. Today he is a captain of South African industry, CEO of a company that has grown from an initial market capitalisation of R400 million in 1999 to somewhere in the region of R30 billion today. In this insightful memoir, Wainer describes his old-school background and upbringing, and his successes and failures amid the intriguing landscape of high-end property negotiations – then he outlines the lessons distilled from his experiences. The story of Wainer’s passion and perseverance, and his ability to learn from his mistakes, is aimed at general business- interest readers, and specifically those in the property world, who will take inspiration from his success.
