Rakiura<br />

The wild landscapes of Stewart Island by<br />

Rob Brown<br />

Stewart Island/Rakiura is an island that is increasingly cherished<br />

by New Zealanders, whose appreciation for its wild character<br />

has flourished in recent years. This revised edition of Rakiura, the<br />

work of leading landscape photographer Rob Brown, was first<br />

published in 2006. Critically acclaimed at the time, his original<br />

large-format photographs remain as powerful as ever, while more<br />

recent photographs have been added along with an updated, and<br />

newly illustrated introduction, which covers the natural and human<br />

history of the island, and the inspiring efforts to restore the island’s<br />

wildlife. This book is a stunning momento for visitors and everyone<br />

interested in Rakiura.<br />

Tails of Tangleby Gardens<br />

by Sue Heazlewood, illustrated by Jane Smith<br />

What a delight for families with children! Tails of Tangleby Gardens combines a<br />

whimsical story with 40 recipes suitable for children to make.<br />

We follow the story of two newly married rabbits, Montgomery and Marmalade,<br />

who have to escape their cosy warren in Christchurch when it is demolished by<br />

a big yellow digger. They are forced to move from the city and start a new life<br />

elsewhere. Along the way, they encounter friends and many adventures, and in<br />

every part of the story, Marmalade shares her recipes..<br />

Tails of Tangleby Gardens is a unique and enchanting book. The story has a gentle,<br />

magical quality, and the recipes are graded from very easy, to easy, to some skill<br />

required, so suitable for young cooks of different abilities. There is even a QR code<br />

that can be downloaded, but I actually like the idea of the book being used in the<br />

kitchen, even if it does end up with a bit of food on it!<br />

Birnam Wood<br />

by Eleanor Catton<br />

Birnam Wood is on the move ... A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass in the<br />

South Island of New Zealand, cutting off the town of Thorndike, leaving a sizable farm<br />

abandoned. This land offers an opportunity to Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening<br />

collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. But they hadn’t figured on the<br />

enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine, who also has an interest in the place.<br />

Can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each<br />

other? A gripping thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries,<br />

Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. A<br />

brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences, it is an unflinching<br />

examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.<br />

China After Mao - The Rise of a<br />

Superpower<br />

By Frank Dikoetter<br />

‘A leading historian of modern China. He is a rare scholar, adept in both Russian and<br />

Chinese . . . Combined with this linguistic skill, Dikoetter has a writer’s gift’ EVENING<br />

STANDARD From the Samuel Johnson Prize-winning author of Mao’s Great Famine, a<br />

timely and compelling account of China in the wake of Chairman Mao In China After<br />

Mao, award-winning historian Frank Dikoetter explores how the People’s Republic<br />

of China was transformed from a backwater economy in the 1970s into the world<br />

superpower of today. His account is the first to be based on hundreds of previously<br />

unseen archival documents, from the secret minutes of top party meetings to confidential<br />

bank reports. Unfolding with great narrative sweep, this riveting, richly detailed chronicle<br />

recasts our understanding of an era that both the regime and foreign admirers celebrate<br />

as an economic miracle. Ultimately, the book concludes, the communist party’s goal<br />

was never to join the democratic sphere, but to resist it - and then defeat it.<br />
