Worse was to come - airmen were handcuffed every day in their prison camp as punishment for the damage they inflicted on Germany. Jack's survival in the camp, and on the gruelling march to freedom, is an inspiring read, told with typical Kiwi humour and modesty.

NZ$ 39.99 each
Paperback
Author: Jo Mannin et al
DoP September 2009, Auckland
150pp

The publication of the 'Cartwright Report' twenty years ago was a momentous event in New Zealand history. The Inquiry into Associate Professor Herbert Green's 'unfortunate experiment' at National Women's Hospital established that this research, conducted without the consent of the patients, was unethical. Much followed from the Inquiry and its report. Critical issues were at stake - matters of life and death; the life's work of leaders within the medical profession; professional reputations; and public trust in the profession. Twenty years on, participants in the Inquiry and other commentators write thoughtful essays. Contributors include: Sandra Coney, Charlotte Paul, Clare Matheson, Alistair Campbell, Ron Paterson and Jan Crosthwaite

Everyday Drinking : The distilled Kingsley Amis order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 28.99 each
Paperback
Author: Kingsley Amis
Kingsley Amis was one of the great masters of comic prose, and no subject was dearer to him than the art and practice of imbibing. This new volume brings together the best of his three out-of-print works on the subject: Kingsley Amis in Drink, Everyday Drinking and How's Your Glass? In one handsome package, the book covers a full shelf of the master's riotous and erudite thoughts on the drinking arts: Along with a series of well-tested recipes (including a cocktail called the Lucky Jim) are Amis's musings on The Hangover, The Boozing Man's Diet, The Mean Sod's Guide, and (presumably as a matter of speculation) How Not to Get Drunk - all leavened with fun quizzes on the making and drinking of alcohol all over the world. Mixing practical know-how and hilarious opinionation, this is a delightful cocktail of wry humour and distilled knowledge, served by one of our great gimlet wits.

Author: Tim Newark
'Highlanders have long been among the most feared soldiers in the world and Tim Newark's book admirably tells their stirring tale. A great read' - Bernard Cornwell. On the fields of Waterloo, the deserts of Sudan, the Plains of Abraham and the mountains of Dargai, the trenches of Flanders and the jungles of Burma - the great Highland regiments made their mark. The brave kilted troops with their pipes and drums were legendary, whether leading the charge into the thick of battle or standing fast, the last to leave or fall, fighting against the odds. Acclaimed historian Tim Newark tells the story of the Highlanders through the words of the soldiers themselves, from diaries, letters and journals uncovered from archives in Scotland and around the world. At the Battle of Quebec in 1759, only a few years after their defeat at Culloden, the 78th Highlanders faced down the French guns and turned the battle. At Waterloo, Highlanders memorably ... more
