Ladies of the Veldt

release date: Dec 01, 2013
Ladies of the Veldt
Two resolute women-the first female ''warco'' and the trader This special Leonaur two-in-one volume contains accounts by two resourceful and independent women who made their way through the often hostile bushlands of Southern Africa in the 19th Century. The youngest daughter of the 7th Duke of Marlborough and aunt to Winston Churchill, the future Prime Minister, Lady Sarah-Spencer Churchill became the first female war correspondent when she was recruited to cover the siege of Mafeking, during the Second Boer War, for the Daily Mail. Baden-Powell and his garrison including (Lady Sarah''s husband), under constant attack by superior Boer forces, were awaiting relief from the British Army under Roberts. On Baden-Powell''s insistence Lady Sarah had left Mafeking before it was surrounded, but had been captured by the Boers and returned to the town under a prisoner exchange scheme. Although untrained as a journalist, Lady Sarah''s ''matter of fact'' style proved to be a huge hit with the domestic reading audience for depicting the'' carry on under any adversity'' bulldog spirit that they felt typified their national character. From an earlier period of the Cape''s troubled colonial history, the second work in this book, relating Mrs. Heckford''s experiences, are of no less interest. Arriving in the Cape on the eve of the Zulu War in the late 1870s, this remarkable and resolute lady carved a life for herself in close proximity to the potentially dangerous Kaffir tribes and the Boers who were disaffected by British Imperial rule and by the annexation of the Transvaal in particular. The hostilities of the First Anglo-Boer War, notable for the British disaster at Majuba Hill in 1881, broke out in late 1880 and Mrs. Heckford found herself besieged in Pretoria in the midst of the uprising. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Sugar Detox
Sugar addiction is no laughing matter. In fact, studies have shown that sugar can be just as addictive as heroin and cocaine. Further, Sugar addiction, without a doubt, leads to obesity, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and a host of other debilitating conditions that can spiral down to type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and even cancer. This book will guide you through the entire 15-day Sugar Detox by providing you with the facts concerning the dangers of sugar and the advantages of the detox. Moreover, it will show you how to maintain a low sugar diet throughout the detox as well as prepare your pantry for both the detox and diet. Best of all, it will provide you with over 50 delicious, nutritious, and filling recipes for snacks, mains, salads, soups and stews, and even desserts that are guaranteed free of processed "empty calorie" sugar. The Sugar Detox will not be easy. It may even be quite a challenge to those who have been so used to adding sugar to their everyday meals. However, going on a Sugar Detox and subsequently following a low sugar (if not no sugar at all) diet will be well worth the effort in the end.
