The Prometheus Deception - Robert Ludlum.
Robert Ludlum is the acknowledged master of suspense and international intrigue. For over thirty years, in over twenty international bestsellers, he has a set a standard that has never been equaled. Now, with the Prometheus Deception, he proves that he is at the very pinnacle of his craft.
Nicholas Bryson spent years as a deep cover operative for the American secret intelligence group, the Directorate. After critical undercover mission went horribly wrong, Bryson was retired to a new identity. Years later, his closely held cover is cracked and Bryson learns that the Directorate was not what it claimed - that he was a pawn in a complex scheme against his own country's interests. Now, it has become increasingly clear that the shadowy Directorate is headed for some dangerous endgame - but no one knows precisely who they are and what they are planning. With Bryson their only possible asset, the director of the CIA recruits Bryson to find, reinfiltrate, and stop the Directorate. But after years on the sidelines, Bryson's field skills are rusty, his contacts unreliable, and his instincts suspect.
With everything he thought he knew about his own life in question, Bryson is all alone in a wilderness of mirrors - unsure what is and isn't true and who, if anyone, he can trust - with the future of millions in the balance.

World Cup 1930 - 2010 Football - Aczel.
This is a very different look at the World Cup. It is a book of drawings by 35-year-old Argentinian German Aczel, who now lives in Munich. Aczel, as he signs himself, has taken many of the iconic photographs from World Cup history and turned them into caricatures, giving each an added unique dimension. Aczel's art also looks forward to the 2010 finals to be staged in South Africa, the first time the African continent has held the tournament. The drawings are accompanied by short histories of each of the World Cups, which began in 1930 in Uruguay.

Saturday Morning - Lauraine Snelling.
Broken by life's
disappointments, four women forge a friendship that leads in unexpected
directions.
Hope Benson is determined to do all she can for
the broken souls who come to Casa de Jesus, a women's shelter in the heart of
San Francisco. When a difficult pregnancy forces her to relinquish control, she
draws support and strength from an unlikely group of women, each struggling
with her own heartbreak.
Andy Taylor, a reluctant transplant to California,
was compelled to leave behind her lavender-growing business and her home of
twenty-some years to support her workaholic husband's pursuit of career
success. Attorney Julia Collins is searching for her teenage granddaughter,
believed to be living on the streets. And Clarice Van Dam's life has been
shattered by the disappearance of her husband, who appears to have relieved her
of all earthly possessions except a fur coat and her overnight bag.
Drawn together at the weekend market held in the
shelter's parking lot, the women pool their resources to fend off an unscrupulous
conglomerate that threatens to replace the facility with a commercial
development. As they fight to retain this haven for women in need, they find
their own longings for home answered by the solace of faith and friendship.

From Things Lost
Forgotten Letters and the Legacy of the Holocaust
by Shirli Gilbert
In May 1933, a young man named Rudolf Schwab fled Nazi Germany. His departure allegedly came at the insistence of a close friend who later joined the Party. Schwab eventually arrived in South Africa, one of the few countries left where Jews could seek refuge, and years later, resumed a relationship in letters with the Nazi who in many ways saved his life. From Things Lost: Forgotten Letters and the Legacy of the Holocaust is a story of displacement, survival, and an unlikely friendship in the wake of the Holocaust via an extraordinary collection of letters discovered in a forgotten trunk.
Only a handful of extended Schwab family members were alive in the war's aftermath. Dispersed across five continents, their lives mirrored those of countless refugees who landed in the most unlikely places. Over years in exile, a web of communication became an alternative world for these refugees, a place where they could remember what they had lost and rebuild their identities anew. Among the cast of characters that historian Shirli Gilbert came to know through the letters, one name that appeared again and again was Karl Kipfer. He was someone with whom Rudolf clearly got on exceedingly well-there was lots of joking, familiarity, and sentimental reminiscing. "That was Grandpa's best friend growing up," Rudolf's grandson explained to Gilbert; "He was a Nazi and was the one who encouraged Rudolf to leave Germany. . . . He also later helped him to recover the family's property." Gilbert takes readers on a journey through a family's personal history wherein we learn about a cynical Karl who attempts to make amends for his "undemocratic past," and a version of Rudolf who spends hours aloof at his Johannesburg writing desk, dressed in his Sunday finest, holding together the fragile threads of his existence. The Schwab family's story brings us closer to grasping the complex choices and motivations that-even in extreme situations, or perhaps because of them-make us human.
In a world of devastation, the letters in From Things Lost act as a surrogate for the gravestones that did not exist and funerals that were never held. Readers of personal accounts of the Holocaust will be swept away by this intimate story.

Scorched Earth
Editor
Fransjohan Pretorius
1st Edition 2001
By the end of 1900 both Boer Republics had virtually been defeated by the British army. Pretoria and Bloemfontein were in British hands. For all practical purposes it seemed as if the Anglo-Boer War was over. The guerrilla tactics of the Boers, however, ensured that this was by no means the case. Lord Kitchener had to proceed quickly and vigorously with the scorched earth policy of his predecessor, Lord Roberts, in order to try and bring about the Boers' surrender - a policy that led to the establishment of the con- centration camps and thereby the deaths of many thousands of innocent civilians: the elderly, women and children, white as well as black.
Kitchener's military goal, to force the Boers to a quick surrender, was not achieved. Kitchener later admitted that the exceptionally high number of deaths in the concentration camps impeded his entire campaign.
Scorched Earth examines the leadership of Roberts and Kitchener and the Boer War concentration camps.
Scorched Earth examines the leadership of Roberts and Kitchener and the Boer War concentration camps. To coincide with Herman Binge's TV documentary of the same name, Professor Fransjohan Pretorius and his team of historians present a gripping and deep-reaching account of the camps which were to have such a divisive effect on the subsequent course of South African history:
By the end of the war there were 34 concentration camps for the Boer elderly, women and children, with a total of 110 000 inhabitants. In addition, there were sixty British camps which held 115 000 black people. There were at least 14 000 deaths in these camps. Altogether 27 927 Boers died in the concentration camps, of which 22 000 were under the age of sixteen..
Scorched Earth outlines the background to these camps and gives a clear picture of life in the camps, authenticated by historical documents. Many of the photographs have not previously been published.
This book is indispensable for understanding the trauma of the camps as well as the lingering bitterness it unleashed among generations of South Africans after the War.

Rembrandt Drawings
Text by Paul Némo
Translated by David Macrae
Rembrandt's drawings can be grouped under three headings, as in this book: family scenes, landscapes and episodes from the Bible.
His preferred models were old men, and, in particular, the poor whose rags were so repugnant to the high society types who came to hi studio to order their portraits. Generally speaking-- and with the exception of his early period of worldly success and vanity-- he was always attracted by ordinary people, as he felt that their character was more starkly and plainly visible than that of anyone else. His drawings concern themselves with human types and expressions rather than with the facile depiction of the picturesque.
It has been observed that he attached no importance at all to a person's rank. A critic writing in 1681 observed: "Instead of taking as his model the Greek Venus, off he went and found a laundry-wench or a peat- digger. The breasts would be flabby, the hands deformed; there might even be the marks of undergarments on her hips and the of a garter on her leg-- but held copy everything."
Rembrandt loved to go walking in the afternoon through the surrounding countryside, often returning home just before dusk. His pupil Hoog- stracten wrote that he once said: "The towns, villages, churches and the thousand riches of creation call out to us, saying: Come, thinker, contemplate us and follow us." There is no doubt that Rembrandt did derive some consolation from nature, the midst of such unrelenting tragedy. Even though he left only fifteen oil paintings of landscapes, he drew large numbers of them, both real and fantastic.
Rembrandt was a profoundly religious man who simply did not feel drawn to the interplay of ideas for their own sake. He was not particularly fond of literature and was in no sense an "intellectual". The truth was what he sought, with his heart and instinct as much as with his reason -- if not more so. And the silence of a church or a temple moved him much more deeply than even the most perfect syllogism. His picture of the Good Samaritan reflects the spirit and mood of the Gospel, a passage of which he used to read every day, except when he chose to read from the Old Testament. Indeed, his works could be used to illustrate almost all of Holy Writ.
However, beyond such sources of inspiration, which were always profoundly human, even the most casual of his sketches bears the unmistakable mark of a great master: their sureness of line and beautiful interplay of light and shade give these drawings a quality which transcends time and place.
