A Land of Water : Rivers and Lakes of NZ

As New Zealanders, we have a natural affinity with water. We regard fishing as a natural right; we view swimming as a life-skill; until recently we would drink unhesitatingly from any back-country stream. Some of our most special memories are of rivers and lakes; hours spent swimming, building dams, catching cockabullies, floating downstream on faded lilos..
The waterways of this country are a gift beyond value. Through entertaining and informative essays and over 200 photographs, this book celebrates them in all their forms: clear high-country brook, meandering lowland stream, vast braided river, tiny alpine tarn, impressive glacial lake, serene blue enveloped by ancient forest.

On the back of his enormously successful biography - Crossing the Line - Marc Ellis presents a tongue-in-cheek look at the Kiwi male. Ellis will look at all species of Kiwi maledom - the archetype, the stereotype and the type(s) he has only just invented (but ones that many of us, albeit secretly, already knew existed). Marc Ellis remains New Zealand's most popular male television presenter and was recently voted our favourite New Zealand male. His humour is unique and his innate ability to thumb his nose at The Establishment and all things P.C. will mean no group - no matter how seemingly untouchable - will be spared the Ellis invective. It will also ensure that this book will not lack attention from fun-loving Kiwis, especially those of us who don't take ourselves too seriously. Twenty-five categories of quintessential Kiwi maledom feature, including: the Ginga (redhead), the Cardycrat (bureaucrat), the Bogan, the Big Fresh (new ...

Kiwi Heroes brings together the tales of 50 of New Zealand's bravest people. Some of the people featured are household names - some are barely known outside their own households. Some have become heroes in a moment, some over a lifetime. Some are professionals who have gone beyond the call of duty; others are ordinary people who have been plunged into terrifying circumstances and responded with astonishing bravery. Many have forfeited their lives or their livelihoods for the sake of others. All have great stories to tell.

Late in 1939 a chance meeting between Penguin founder, Allen Lane, and natural history publisher, Noel Carrington, changed the future of children's publishing with the formation of a series called 'Puffin Picture Books'. The first four titles appeared in 1940 and the series quickly established a reputation for presenting children's non-fiction in a unique blend of editing and design. 'Puffin Story Books' soon followed with the publication of
Worzel Gummidge
in 1941 and, like the original launch of Penguin itself, these story books appeared in the three horizontal stripe design. Looking back at seventy years of Puffin paperbacks, Phil Baines charts the development of Puffin and the role of illustrators and designers in creating and defining the identity of the Puffin list from the very first picture book through to modern day. Rich with stunning cover and inside illustrations, and filled with detail of individual titles, Phil ...

Quake : The Hawke's Bay Earthquake

On 3 February 1931, Hawke's Bay was shattered by the largest earthquake ever recorded in New Zealand. It was a disaster of national proportions, damaging buildings from Gisborne to Wanganui, a catastrophe that officially killed 256 and seriously injured more than 400. Fresh pictures, diaries and eyewitness accounts have continued to emerge, painting a picture of immediacy that spans the decades. Scientific analysis has revised most of the previously accepted details of the seismic event, including the strength of the quake —recalculated in 1981 to have had a magnitude of 7.8.
Drawing on eyewitness accounts, Matthew Wright brings the tragic events of February 1931 to life in this account of New Zealand's most destructive natural disaster. This reprinted edition includes a range of previously unpublished photographs.

It will enable you to assess your goals, sort available information, identify the available choices, make a decision and, finally, turn thought into action.

New Zealand is a sports-mad country, a state of affairs that is mirrored by a wealth of writing on sport and sports - not only by sports journalists, but by novelists, poets, columnists, historians, essayists and academics. In this sweeping and often surprising anthology, Harry Ricketts casts the net over both much-loved works, such as Lloyd Jones's The Book of Fame on rugby, and long-lost treasures such as Samuel Butler's poem 'The English Cricketers'. The collection traverses sports as diverse as fly-fishing, athletics, motor-racing and mountaineering, and may even introduce you to some you haven't heard of.

As an ideal companion to "Celluloid Dreams: A Century of Film in New Zealand" which covers 1896 to 1996, this book presents a more comprehensive history of the heyday of the New Zealand picture theatre between 1925 and 1970, lavishly illustrated with many never-before-published period photographs. It is a richly informative and often hilarious record of a crucial part of our social history. The local picture theatre was the place for entertainment, socialising, courting and being kept informed through the all important newsreels. Wayne Brittenden has brought the era brilliantly back to life - the theatres, managers, audiences, censors, films and the unsung heroes of picture going - the projectionists.

Who Said That First? The curious origins of common words and phrases

Many bright minds have come up with expressions we now take for granted as part of the English language, and which we use freely in vernacular speech. But the originators of many of our most useful second-hand remarks go uncredited. The Bible and Shakespeare are rich sources of many common phrases, but in this book Max Cryer concentrates on familiar expressions whose origins lie elsewhere. So who said it first? This collection sets out to credit - as far as it's possible to do so - the people who actually created many familiar terms in common use. For example, poor Ernest Dowson is all but forgotten, but author Margaret Mitchell read his 1891 poem 'Non Sum Qualis' and brought one phrase from that poem to the attention of millions. The phrase that caught her eye was 'gone with the wind'. (In 1867, Dowson also wrote another familiar phrase: 'the days of wine and roses'). Written in Max Cryer's delightfully witty style,
