Award-winning international wildlife photographer Tui de Roy spent much of her life living on and photographing the Galapagos Islands before setting up her base in New Zealand. From here, she travels the world capturing breathtaking images of special natural places and the plants and animals that inhabit them. In this book, she turns her attention to her adopted country New Zealand. Over 350 photographs detail the habitats and many birds and animals unique to this country. Unlike many natural history books, Tui captures the character of her subjects over many photographs - from a saddleback feasting off nectar-laden pohutukawa flowers, to a New Zealand falcon caring for its chicks, to a kakapo making its way through the bush. Her exceptional eye for detail and her deep affinity for her subjects bring out their characters in a unique way and will provide New Zealanders and visitors to the country alike with a new view of this very ...

Just in Time to be Too Late : Why Men are Like Buses

Peta Mathias

In her bestselling guide Can We Help it if We're Fabulous, the irrepressible Peta Mathias shared her thoughts on being a woman. Now, with Just in Time to be Too Late, she turns her attention to what it means to be a man in the 21st century. What makes men cry? Why are bad boys so irresistible? What exactly is the point of sport? To what extent is a man's self worth connected to his job? What do men look for in a relationship? Does a man ever get over his first love? Why do men lie? What does he need to be happy? And, of course, why are men like buses? These are just some of the vexing questions Peta looks for answers to. Though she has been married and has had her fair share both of meaningful relationships and flirtatious dalliances, Peta is the first to admit that she knew very little about the opposite sex when she began work on this book - 'A virgin would know more about men than me because she's probably listened more.' ...

The New Zealand Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) is an elite group of highly trained professionals, brought together in an emergency to protect the public from armed criminals, yet it is shrouded in mystery and myth. Born in the 1960s as a necessary response to random acts of violence, the AOS and the ultra-elite Anti-Terrorist Squad took on the burgeoning organised crime scene of the 1970s and the horror of Aromoana in the 1990's. Today the AOS remains as the Police frontline rapid response to protect the public from armed criminals. However in the changing world of the twenty-first century, threats to public order and safety have reached new heights and new responses are needed - the Special Tactics Group (STG) has been created to defend against and respond to possible threats from domestic terrorism as well as the most difficult armed confrontations.

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.

High Country Lark : An Invitation to Paradise

Author:

The New Zealand high country holds a special place for us all: it's New Zealand's equivalent of the 'Wild West': a rugged, rustic, spectacularly beautiful frontier. The relationship we have with the hills, mountains and lakes resonants within us all when we hear the words HIGH COUNTRY. Its steep mountains, tumbling rivers, moss-bedecked beech forest, and snow and ice in high places speak of 'a mountain fastness and wilderness dramatically arrayed' - we call it 'Middle Earth'. The characters who roamed the hills, old prospectors like Arawata Bill, are like our own Jessie James or Kit Carson. It ought to be a haven for wildlife: for the mischievous kea and for the haunting song of the kakapo. Author Neville Peat takes us into the Head of the Lake area - that's head of Lake Wakatipu. Into Paradise - yes it's a real place - up the Rees Valley, into the Dart, the Greenstone and Caples valleys. We roam the hills and meet up with the Lark, an ...

A look at some of New Zealand's historic houses - in words and in pictures. An eclectic mix, these houses, generally from the 19th century, and ranging from one-roomed cobs to country mansions, have been chosen because of their significance: they are 'a first', have been built by an architect of significance, have been lived in by notable New Zealanders. Most are open to visitors and they all have charm. A novelist, the author is interested in the houses' stories and has personally visited them all. The 60 houses are organised regionally: Northland/Auckland, Waikato/Bay of Plenty, Taranaki/Wanganui/Rangitikei, Gisborne/Hawkes Bay/Wairarapa, Wellington, Nelson/Marlborough, Canterbury and Otago. Linda is interested in the houses' stories and each piece is lively and accessible, giving fascinating background history. Robert Burgess, partner of the author and ex-All Black, has photographed the houses inside and out and created a great ...
