Author: Bill Bryson

Published by: Doubleday

It struck Bill Bryson one day that we devote a lot more time to the Wars of the Roses or the Normandy Landings than considering what most of history really consists of: centuries upon centuries of people quietly going about their daily business - eating, sleeping, having sex, endeavouring to be amused. So he started a journey around his house, an old rectory in Norfolk, wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in life came to be. Along the way he allowed himself delightful digressions on the history of everything from architecture to epidemics, from food preservation to the discovery of electricity, and from crinolines to toilets. And to his dismay, he also encountered a terrifying variety of dangers to our health and happiness. Where the prizewinning A Short History of Nearly Everything was a sweeping survey of Earth, the universe and everything, At Home is an inwards look at all human life through ... more

In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf.

Author: D. Henshaw

Published by: David Bateman Ltd

Featuring 40 or so tall tales - most true, some not-so-true, but all entertaining and illustrated by New Zealand's best known country cartoonist and artist, David Henshaw. A note from the authors : Hard times and hard lives generate hard-case characters, and with them go a host of yarns. The Waikato is no exception. Tucked away beneath the veneer of success, green pastures and four-wheelers there is a background of years of hard labour and drudgery often rewarded by ongoing poverty. A generation or two down the track we all benefit from the sheer bloody-minded persistence of those families who turned peat swamps and untrackable hills into the multimillion-dollar dairy and sheep farms that now dominate the whole area. Those pioneers, and the more recent Waikato characters, have left behind a fair bunch of stories. There is an old saying that if you didn't laugh you'd just sit down and cry. I have no doubt that the latter happened fairly ... more

Young Mandela

Paperback

Author: David James Smith

Published by: Gollancz

Nelson Mandela is the world's greatest idol. He has been mythologised as a flawless hero of the liberation struggle. But how exactly did his early personal and political life shape the triumphs to come? This book goes behind the myth to find the man who people have forgotten or never knew - Young Mandela, the commited freedom fighter, who left his wife and children behind to go on the run from the police in the early 1960s. For the first time, we have evidence of a specific personal motivation for Mandela's fight against apartheid, and the book sheds light on the significant extent to which Mandela relied on white activists - a part of South African history the ANC has ignored or tried to bury. Mandela's historic achievements came with a heavy price - this biography graphically describes the emotional turmoil he left in his wake. After meticulous research, and taking a lead from Mandela's trusted circle, the author discovers much ... more

Everyone loved Old Hu-Hu. But nobody loved him quite as much as little Hu-Hu-Tu. This is a thoughtful tale of young Hu-Hu-Tu's search for understanding about what happened to his beloved Old Hu-Hu, who flew all the way to the moon (or so they said), then fell down dead. Sensitively written, this is a moving and beautifully illustrated story about losing someone dear.
