A Field Guide to Melancholy

order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each

Hardback

Author: Jacky Bowring

Customer Order Reference:

New Zealand author

A depressive illness or a passing feeling? Mental detachment or a precursor to genius? Melancholy is a critical part of what it is to be human, yet everything from Prozac to self-help psychology books seems intent on removing all signs of sadness from contemporary existence. By drawing on a range of disciplines from psychology and philosophy to architecture and design, and by examining the work of creative figures as different as Ingmar Bergman, Algrecht Durer, WG Sebald and Tom Waits, author Jacky Bowring provides an original perspective on one of the most elusive, enigmatic and fascinating of human conditions.

Against the Tide: Back Pain Treatment, the Breakthough (An Autobiography)

order quantity

NZ$ 35.00 each

Paperback

Author: Robin McKenzie with Ron Bybee

Customer Order Reference:

Co-authored by Ron Bybee, who has determinedly encouraged Robin to tell his story, this book will fascinate all those who have been involved with Robin and his ground-breaking discoveries for the better diagnosis and treatment of low back pain. Unaccountable numbers of patients who have benefited from McKenzie therapy will also find it compelling.
Amusing memories of his childhood, youth and his student life offer much interest and Robin's account of family and practice life in Wellington, New Zealand, fill out the background to the development of his Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy.
This is the story of determination in the face of great obstacles and disappointments, but the very long and difficult journey Robin took to have his ideas recognized and used in treatment seems, finally, to have come to a happy conclusion. This book will both entertain and give readers pause for reflection on many matters.

Ali's Book of Tall Tales: Random Thoughts from the 2nd Row

order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each

Paperback

Author: Ali Williams with James Griffin

Customer Order Reference:

Ali Williams breaks the mould as an All Black tight forward. A confirmed urbanite, Ali Williams switched his Super 14 allegiances from Auckland to Christchurch in 2007 after a much-publicised bust-up with Australian coach David Nucifora. In this book Williams will take a light-hearted look at rugby at the very top in New Zealand and will touch on some of the more controversial aspects of his career - including his earth-shattering dismissal from the Blues' tour of South Africa in 2007. As well, Williams will revisit the failed 2007 World Cup campaign, look at the All Blacks' rotation and reconditioning policies; the famous incident when his jaw was broken in a collision with Frenchman Sebastien Chabal and analyse differences in the Crusaders and Blues setups. He will also talk of his charity work and explain the reasons why he stayed in New Zealand after the World Cup and thus turning his back on the big bucks on offer in ... more

All Those Yesterdays

NZ$ 32.50 each

Paperback

Author: Elspeth Biss

Customer Order Reference:

DoP August, 2009, Auckland

This is a story many New Zealand women – particularly those who grew up in the country - will identify with. Elspeth Biss was brought up on Hawke’s Bay farms in the 1940s; attended boarding school in the 1950s; trained as a nurse, married, and brought up a family in the 1960s and 70s on farms in the Wairarapa. As she writes: “The 1960s may well have been ‘the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius’, as the popular song had it, with the Beatles, Mary Quant and the mini-skirt, but for me and most of my friends it was a decade of child raising, washing nappies, Plunket and kindergartens.”
In her absorbing memoir, Elspeth Biss evokes the way things were during ‘all those yesterdays’. She is fiercely proud of her Scottish heritage, going ‘home’ for the first time in 1946. Passionate about horses and hunting, she is also always looking for a new challenge – ‘retirement’ is an opportunity to sell cosmetics and learn to ... more

Bardia

NZ$ 180.00 each

Hardback

Author: Craig Stockings

Customer Order Reference:

On 3 January 1941 ANZAC soldiers led an assault against the Italian colonial fortress town of Bardia. Two days later, after 55 hours of heavy fighting, the position fell to the ANZACs in a resounding victory. At a cost of 130 killed and 326 wounded, the ANZACs captured around 40,000 Italian prisoners and large quantities of arms and equipment. The success at Bardia was considered to be one of the greatest military feats in ANZAC history. But despite both the scale and significance of this monumental success, the Battle of Bardia has been largely neglected by historians and is not well known.

Billy T: the life and times of Billy T James

order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each

Paperback

Author: Matt Elliott

Customer Order Reference:

Billy T James was a larger-than-life comedian who gave us some of our best belly laughs. An accomplished singer and musician, he created enduring characters, poking the borax at the oh-so-delicate state of race relations in New Zealand in a way that stood him head and shoulders above other performers of his era. Like John Clarke's Fred Dagg, Billy T's characters were Kiwi through and through and we loved him for it. When he died in his early forties, of complications following a heart transplant, the nation was shocked - first by his premature death, and then by one of the first highly publicised interracial body-snatching incidents. His Pakeha wife and his iwi disagreed over funeral arrangements, ending in the taking by force of his body from their home in Auckland to a marae in Ngaruawahia. The sight of iwi and family battling in the media and reports of his body being transported in a van made sickening headlines. His widow, Lynn ... more
