South Africa needs no introduction to the global narratives of violence and crimes against women and children. With reported sexual offences exceeding 60000 and incidents of murder totalling 17805 for the 2014/2015 period, our countrys notoriety in this arena contributes to the landscape within which The Symbol of No Escape plays out. As forensic thriller The Symbol of No Escape is an emergent property of qualities that not too many authors are able to harness. These include Dr Tanya Robinsons practical experience and extensive work with the abused child, her knowledge in forensic psychopathology and her laudable scholarly credentials that underpins each page with legitimacy whilst powerfully infusing the characters of protagonist Dr Claire and villain Dann Carmen. The reader is systematically drawn in and absorbed in the lifeworld of Dr Claire, a profiler and expert assessor who is tasked to create a profile that would help close the case against depraved child serial murderer and family killer, Dann Carmen. His crimes are brutal and bizarre, yet Dr Claires assertion that Dann instils no fear in me paves the way for explicating her goal which is to establish what contributed to him becoming a monster (Marcel Van der Watt, University of South Africa, Department of Police Practice).

IN THE 1950S, AT FIVE YEARS OLD, Ron Gosbee, the son of the post manager for the Hudson’s Bay Company in remote Fort Albany, Ontario, was sent to the local St. Anne’s Indian Residential School with his two sisters. The only white children at the school at the time, they would become unwilling witnesses to the systemic cultural genocide against Canada’s Indigenous Peoples. While there, they too lived in fear of cruel nuns and priests, choked down inedible food, and were forced to maintain a rigorous daily schedule far from the warmth of their loving homes. Over sixty years later, Ron adds his unique perspective to the memories of fellow “inmates”, shining one more light on the trauma and neglect of generations of Indigenous survivors of residential schools in Canada.

NO ESCAPE is both a tragedy and a story of courage and redemption. Mistakes made must suffer consequences. Mattie summed it up when talking to Jed, her former employee and now captain of the handcart company with whom she and her twins are hiding to escape the vengeance of her former escaped from prison husband, Benjamin Farkle. “Jed, I have done so many things wrong in my life. Do you think I can ever be forgiven? Do you think God ever thinks twice about me?” Mattie finds answers to her question as she and Jack Sisson leave the handcart company to search for Dolly, her eight-year-old twin daughter, lost in a horrific hailstorm, and presumed dead, while along the Sweetwater River in Wyoming. Ten years later Farkle, who has embraced the dark side, finds Mattie in Weaver, Wyoming. After a tragic confrontation with the evil Farkle, Butch Weaver, moans to Jack Sisson, “Can anything be worse?” After Jack’s answer Butch continues. “Hatch is dead. Your house burned to the ground. Half the family is ailing. I can’t be very cheerful.” “Houses can be rebuilt. People mend. We can’t help Hatch, but we will never forget him, either. It’s time to lick our wounds and heal.” “Words are easy, Jack.” Interspersed with humor, church history, and romance, the excitement Never ends.

Rising out of the American art music movement of the late 1950s and 1960s, minimalism shook the foundations of the traditional constructs of classical music, becoming one of the most important and influential trends of the twentieth century. The emergence of minimalism sparked an active writing culture around the controversies, philosophies, and forms represented in the music’s style and performance, and its defenders faced a relentless struggle within the music establishment and beyond. Focusing on how facts about music are constructed, negotiated, and continually remodeled, We Have Always Been Minimalist retraces the story of these battles that—from pure fiction to proven truth—led to the triumph of minimalism. Christophe Levaux’s critical analysis of literature surrounding the origins and transformations of the stylistic movement offers radical insights and a unique new history.

58 years after Hitler's demise, controversy continues to reign. Attitudes towards Hitler among his contemporaries and their descendants range from adulation to hatred. They are influenced by ideological stance, personal memories, guilt, and denial. Born into a German middle class family, John Koch remembers the world around him from Hitler's ascent to power to the end of World War II, which John Koch experienced as a soldier and a prisoner of war. He reports on the horrific post-war years and the birth of a democratic Germany. From hundreds of remembered events, discussions, arguments, and episodes of risk and danger, John Koch creates a mosaic that blends into a composite picture of a country hurtling towards the twelve years of Hitler's dictatorship over Germany and much of Europe. John Koch was blessed with growing up in a family that saw Hitler as the destroyer of Germany. It was a Germany from which there was NO ESCAPE until Hitler's suicide. At a time when the history of Hitler and his Third Reich is once more questioned, revised, or romanticized, John Koch presents his reminiscences as an autobiographical narrative that serves the reader well in understanding what happened i

A mere proposal to legalize certain drugs results in dire consequences for all involved. US Senator Tom Graves’s proposal to legalize drugs creates a backlash from the religious right, whose opposition is unwittingly organized and funded by Carlos Renner, one of Washington’s many power brokers, not knowing that Renner is a drug lord. The opposition takes a deadly turn when a zealot detonates an explosive during the first hearing on the proposal, and Graves is hospitalized. During his recovery, he meets Dr. Victoria Bennett, a woman with a complicated past. Unaware of her background, they become involved. When tragedy later strikes, Graves resorts to his combat experience in Iraq to track down her murderer, who has fled to Rio. Captured by Renner, Graves is helped to escape by his daughter, Angelica, only to be tracked down and surrounded in an abandoned DEA safe house by Renner’s trained assassins. Escape seems impossible. This book is an international thriller that shows there can be No Escape.

The “down-to-earth, unsentimental, [and] high-humored” Pema Chödrön classic on learning to face our lives just as they are (Los Angeles Times) It's true, as they say, that we can only love others when we first love ourselves—and we can only experience real joy when we stop running from pain. The key to understanding these truisms is simple but not easy: we must learn to open ourselves up to life in all its manifestations. Here, spiritual teacher and When Things Fall Apart author Pema Chödrön presents a uniquely practical approach to doing just that, showing us the true value in having “no escape” from the ups and downs of life. Drawing from her own experiences with marriage, divorce, motherhood, and more, Pema reveals that when we embrace the happiness and heartache, the inspiration and confusion—all the twists and turns that are part of natural life—we can begin to discover a true wellspring of courageous love that’s been within our hearts all along. As she writes in chapter four: “Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material. If you throw out your neurosis, you also throw out your wisdom.”

Philosophers and linguists have come together for this volume to provide a glimpse of current thinking about language in a semiotic mode and of the analyses that result from applying the theory of signs of the American philosopher-scientist Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) to subjects that Peirce himself did not explore in any depth. Contributors include Victor Friedman, Laura Janda, Tony Jappy, Dinès Johansen, Dan Nesher, Joáo Queiroz, Joëlle Réthoré, Michael Shapiro, and Nils Thelin.
