Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The brutal, premeditated murder of Honorah Parker in 1954 in a lonely park by her 16-year-old daughter Pauline and Pauline's 15-year-old friend Juliet Hulme made shock headlines around the world. International media flocked to New Zealand to follow the trial. Still today, the murder remains one of the most interesting criminal cases of all time, and a source of intense public fascination throughout the world - especially since one of the murderers was revealed to be the murder-mystery writer Anne Perry, whose books sell in the millions. Lawyer and true crime writer Peter Graham writes of the secrets and lies that permeated the girls' families, the bizarre lead-up to the murder, the girls' conviction and imprisonment, and their lives following their release. He also examines Parker's and Hulme's actions in the light of modern psychology. In the 1950s the two girls were suspected of lesbianism, and judged and imprisoned as inherently evil.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The stunning biography of one of New Zealand's most electrifying and controversial women leaders. When Helen Kelly died on a Wellington spring night in October 2016, with her partner by her side and a bunch of peonies, the first of the season, by her bed, Aotearoa New Zealand lost an extraordinary leader. Kelly was the first female head of the country's trade union movement, but she was also much more- a visionary who believed that all workers, whether in a union or not, deserved to be given a fair go; a fighter from a deeply communist family who never gave up the struggle; a strategist and orator who invoked strong loyalty; a woman who could stir fierce emotions. Her battles with famous people were the stuff of headlines. She took on Peter Jackson, the country's icon. She was accused in parliament of doing 'irreparable damage' to the union movement, and by employers of exploiting the bereaved families of dead workers. While many saw her as a hero, to others she was 'that woman', a bloody pain in the neck. In this brilliant book, award-winning journalist Rebecca Macfie takes you not only into Kelly's life but into a defining period in the country's history, when old values were replaced by the individualism of neo-liberalism, and the wellbeing and livelihood of workers faced unremitting stress. Through it all, Helen Kelly stood as an electrifying figure. In this brilliant book, award-winning journalist Rebecca Macfie takes you not only into Helen Kelly's life but into a defining period in New Zealand's history, when old values were replaced by the individualism of neo-liberalism, and the wellbeing and livelihood of workers faced unremitting stress.

Libro Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy which feels unread. Diana Wichtel was born in Vancouver. Her mother was a New Zealander, her father a Polish Jew who had jumped off a train to the Treblinka death camp and hidden from the Nazis until the end of the war. When Diana was 13 she moved to New Zealand with her mother, sister and brother. Her father was to follow. Diana never saw him again. Growing up in New Zealand she gave her father little thought, but later in her life troubling questions began to emerge. What had happened to him? Why had he not re-joined the family? Diana's quest took her around the world as she tracked down long-lost relatives, historians, archivists - anyone who might know something about her father, and about the members of his family who had been trapped in the Warsaw ghetto. Painstakingly, with extensive research and numerous interviews, she discovered the truth. The story of Diana's search is also a moving meditation on how none of us can know who we really are until we confront and understand our past, no matter how painful.

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. Appears to be unread. Pauly Fuemana of the group Otara Millionaires Club (OMC) was the charismatic singer and creator, with producer Alan Jansson, of the hit record How Bizarre. After the record's release in 1995 it stormed to number one in New Zealand, Australia, Canada and European countries and Fuemana appeared twice on Britain's top-rated TV show Top of the Pops. It was named Single of the Year at the New Zealand Music Awards and remains the country's most internationally successful indie record of all time, having sold over 4 million copies and appeared on at least 100 compilations. Despite the song's phenomenal success, Fuemana was deeply troubled and found fame hard to handle. His friend, mentor and music publisher Simon Grigg gives a riveting blow-by-blow account of the singer's life and the song's beginnings, runaway success, and effect on Fuemana and the people around him. Along the way there are fascinating and often shocking insights into the ruthlessness of the music industry. This is an inside story never told before.

Libro Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. This copy appears to be unread. Since British explorer James Cook first circumnavigated Antarctica in the late 18th century, the white continent has exerted a powerful attraction. There is no permanent human habitation, and no mercy from the raw, relentless elements, yet for nearly 200 years explorers and scientists have been drawn to work and sometimes risk their lives here. Rebecca Priestley's landmark anthology reveals the numerous scientific discoveries that have been made, from how sea creatures survive in the freezing waters, to the continent's extraordinary proliferation of meteorites and the startling revelations of its fossils. In the early days, nations vied to establish a presence on the continent to try and claim its resources. Today scientists track the arrival of space particles and examine ice cores, sea-floor sediments and rocks hewn by glaciers to better understand our universe, uncover the story of climate change, and learn how a land once covered in forests became a frozen desert. More than an anthology, this unique book is a thrilling journey through time as explorers and scientists unravel the mysteries of Earth's last great wilderness.

Softcover. Condizione: Very Good +. FISHESIn November 2008, near Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean, a Korean ship came upon a Taiwanese fishing boat. TheÂTai Ching 21Âwas eerily silent. The lifeboat and three rafts were missing, and so were all 29 Taiwanese officers and Chinese, Indonesian, and Filipino crew who had been aboard. A quest to discover the identities of the lost men led New Zealand journalist Michael Field into a dark world of foreign-flagged vessels fishing in the ocean as far south as Antarctica. InÂThe CatchÂhe reveals what he discovered: horrifying examples of modern slavery in which men from poor countries are trapped on filthy, unsafe ships, treated brutally by captains and officers, and receive little or no pay. The fishing companies Field lays bare are ruthless. Their irresponsible and often illegal fishing practices are stripping the world's seas and threatening the food supply of people everywhere, propelling us towards one of the environmental tragedies of our times. These stories play out on the waters of New Zealand and the Pacific, but the same practices are happening all over the world. Can we ignore the fates both of these men and the catch they fish for?"Michael Field's narrative of slavery and other illegal practices in the deep-sea fishing industry is both enlightening and horrifying." -Christina Stringer, University of Auckland Business School"This bold book takes the reader into the heart of the secretive fishing industry to expose the ugly truth about its out-of-sight out-of-mind activities. You will no longer look at the fish on your plate in the same way." -Glenn Simmons, New Zealand Asia Institute"Abuse of fishing crews is reported globally. Field vividly documents it in an unexpected area - New Zealand territorial waters." -Jennifer Burn, director, Anti-Slavery Australia"Veteran journalist Michael Field is among the few people who can truly say they've helped change the world we live in." -Rose Cawley,ÂAuckland City Harbour News"This is a well-researched and comprehensive account of the ecological and human costs of exploitation in New Zealand's and the global maritime sector. Michael Field pulls no punches in this book, which is investigative journalism at its best." -Victor Billot,ÂOtago Daily Times"Michael Field is a journo from the old school, chasing hard news by drilling down through the layers of corporate BS. Through sheer hard work and sniffing out leads, he has come up with the goods. This is hard-edged journalism, not once-over news presented for its entertainment value only." -New Zealand Fishing Newspp. 240 illustrations #060324 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Steve Braunias shines in this superb selection of new writing. Starting with the election of the Key government, the multiple award-winning writer commentates with devastating directness on the devious ways of politicians, the effects of the recession on ordinary New Zealanders, and the notorious murders that shocked us to the core. On a lighter note, he relates his adoration of birds, his detestation of 'truly horrible food' (columns which brought countless contributions from readers) and the 'hell' of his much-vaunted stay in Antarctica. Threaded throughout - and reported with disarming honesty - is Braunias's own journey as a journalist and would-be novelist. Above all, he writes about his young daughter in moving columns that have won him many new readers and admirers. Whether gently but firmly lambasting airhead politicians, unrepentant murderers, apostrophe vigilantes, literary poseurs or the purveyors of awful food, Steve Braunias shows his exceptional mastery of the art of column writing.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A PROVOCATIVE ROAD MAP TO READINGWriters' festivals, TV book shows, radio interviews, book clubs, TED Talks-today's novelists are a travelling roadshow. New books and their authors are thrown to the wolves, aka reviewers, to be savaged, praised to the skies, or sadly just ignored. In the midst of all this, how can the bewildered booklover decide what to read?Jim Flynn tackles the question head-on in this racy, funny, no-holds-barred book, the sequel to his bestseller The Torchlight List. Flynn spent 6 years reading nearly 400 books by modern authors, including many new works in translation. Are the authors who receive all the hype really the best? Who's worth reading and who's not? Readers will be shocked, surprised and sometimes enraged by Flynn's audacious opinions. Above all they will be inspired, as we have been at Awa Press, to try many new authors and read new work by authors we have loved in the past.
