NZ$ 29.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Norman Harris
Published by:
Last Side Publishing
The journey started on a fabulous night at Cook's Garden, Wanganui, where a youthful Norman Harris from the New Zealand Herald was the only national media witness to Peter Snell's world-record mile.
That launched a wave of exciting writing, typically described by reviewers as "fresh" or "vivid".
Abroad, the young journalist was acclaimed for
"perhaps the finest writing on athletics in the English language"
.
But
Beyond Cook's Gardens
goes beyong athletics. Along the journey we meet some surprising characters - from Jack Nicklaus to Kiri Te Kanawa, from Glenn Turner to Benjamin Britten. We learn of threats and blackmail by sports officials in New Zealand; and assualt by a notorious All Black; a cloak-and-dagger encounter in Moscow; and the coining of a brand new word, Jogger.

The Gold Baron : Central Otago's mining entrepreneur

Paperback
Author:
John McCraw
Published by:
Central Stories
This is the story of John Ewing, gold mining entrepreneur and at one time in the 1890s, New Zealand’s wealthiest person.
Ewing was a gold mining leader who introduced many technological advances onto the Otago goldfields that greatly extended the life of gold mining in that province. The sluicing elevator was one such innovation that he brought from the United States and put into use in several places across Otago including St Bathans where he mostly resided. As government advisor on gold mining he was highly influential, and at his peak had mining interests spread across southern New Zealand in many companies and ventures.
Unfortunately, as gold became harder to mine economically, and banks were under financial pressure, he had extended himself too far and was declared bankrupt. From this set-back he never recovered although he fought hard to clear his name and strike it rich one more time.
McCraw’s book brings this unsung ...

Cockney Kid : the making of an unconventional psychologist

NZ$ 44.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Tony Taylor
Published by:
Silver Owl Press
The renaissance man of New Zealand pschology was how colleague Jules Older characterized Professor Tony Taylor of Victoria University in Wellington, in the NZ Listener. The accolade reflects the astonishing range of internationally acclaimed original research Professor Taylor has published in 290 academic papers on subjects as eclectic as the differences between male and female prison tattoos, Antarctic stress, wind phobia,adolescent hysteria induced by The Beatles. Tony Taylor was the first professor of clinical psychology in the British Commonwealth -not bad for a poor kid who grew up between the world wars mired without prospects in London's Docklands.
These memoirs demonstrate how he did it from cockney kid and wartime naval service to his present eminence helping the most destructive and stressed people in our community cope better with their lives.

Chris Grantham
Published by:
Chris Grantham publishing
The one and a half square meters of footpath space on Broadway, Newmarket, Auckland from which Mark Grantham sells his chocolate bars for charity has to be one of the smallest retail sites in New Zealand. One regular customer jokingly refers to it as Mark's 'office', because it is where Mark - severly disabled with cerebral palsy since birth - has plied his trade for the last seventeen years.
For 20 years now, Chris Grantham has been Mark's chocolate admin man. For 33 years he has also doubled as his father and therefore knows him rather well! Mark's is quite a story - and there's much, much more to it than chocolate - taste and you'll see.

Educating For The Profession
order quantity
NZ$ 40.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Jeremy Finn
Published by:
Canterbury University Press
Educating for the Profession: Law at Canterbury 1873–1973 is the first detailed exploration of the early history of legal education in New Zealand.
It draws on extensive research into a range of historical material and periodical literature, as well as a rich variety of accounts and recollections from former staff and students, to explore the first 100 years of teaching and study of law at Canterbury.
In doing so it offers a fresh insight into the often uneasy relationship between teachers and practitioners, particularly the long struggle over control of examinations for the law degree.
It paints a vivid picture of the development of the ‘rival’ Law Professional qualification, and examines the ebbs and flows in the popularity of law as a career choice.
While exploring these national elements, this book remains grounded in the experiences of generations of students and their teachers in the very special Canterbury ...

Andy Katz
Published by:
Andy Katz (NZ)
Andy Katz's camera has taken him on many journeys. Like all great photographers, Katz has the knack of being in the right place at the right time, able to capture a transitory ray of light or a fleeting human encounter. New Zealand offered an irresistible subject for Katz's lens. This charmed pair of islands, bridging the South Pacific and the Tasman Sea, indeed provides, as the title suggests, a compelling meeting place for sky, earth and sea. In these pages New Zealand reveals itself in turn as fiery, dramatic, stark, hauntingly beautiful and teeming with life. New Zealand will never again be just a remote point on a map. The images between these covers are bound to linger, making it forever a destination of the mind.

NZ$ 49.99 each
Paperback
Author:
Antoinette Savill
Published by:
Grub Street Publishing
This book is aimed at the millions of people suffering from sensitivity to wheat, dairy products and gluten. If you are told that you must follow a wheat, gluten or dairy free diet, where do you begin to work out what you can eat safely? One thing is for sure you will have to start cooking for yourself at home since there are very few ready meals available that will be suitable for your restricted diet. The simplest and safest course is to prepare your own meals, that way you will know for certain that your food does not include any hidden ingredients that might trigger your allergy or intolerance. Many people find cooking becomes a tyranny if they have to make family meals and then a small portion of allergy free food for one person. Simpler by far to prepare recipes that are delicious for the entire family, but if you have been used to relying on ready prepared meals you may not be a confident cook or you may not have a repertoire of ...

Author:
Ambrose Bierce
Published by:
Wordsworth Editions Ltd
Originally entitled 'The Cynic's Word Book', this justly infamous volume was re-titled 'The Devil's Dictionary' in 1911 and addressed to "enlightened souls who prefer dry wines to sweet, sense to sentiment, wit to humour, and clean English to slang". Bierce's ironic definitions ring as true today as when they were first coined.
