Some time ago I became enthralled by a TV serial centred around a novice learning some pretty impressive skills. What made it a must-watch for me was that these skills were learnt by way of monastic eastern school that taught almost superhuman abilities linked with an inspirational philosophy of...

I've been so encouraged to hear back from readers of HUM who've said that although they never knew much about apartheid, the book made them want to learn more.
