Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In 1848, two decades after a French inventor mixed daylight with a cocktail of chemicals to fix the view outside his window onto a metal plate, photography arrived in Aotearoa. How did these ' portraits in a machine' reveal Maori and Pakeha to themselves and to each other? Were the first photographs ' a good likeness' or were they tricksters? What stories do they capture of the changing landscape of Aotearoa? From horses laden with mammoth photographic plates in the 1870s to the arrival of the Kodak in the late 1880s, New Zealand's first photographs reveal Kingi and governors, geysers and slums, battles and parties. They freeze faces in formal studio portraits and stumble into the intimacy of backyards, gardens and homes. A Different Light brings together the extraordinary and extensive photographic collections of three major research libraries - Tamaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum, Alexander Turnbull Library and Hocken Collections Uare Taoka o Hakena - to coincide with a touring exhibition of some of the earliest known photographs of Aotearoa.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Rhys Kinkade was my everything. Then he was nothing. Now he's the only thing that can save my career. Fifteen years ago, I was eighteen and Nashville-bound. I thought Rhys would follow; he knew he wouldn't. Now, I'm one album shy of headlining my own world tour and the words have dried up. Too much betrayal. Not enough fresh mountain air. It's time to come home to Bourbon Canyon.After Rhys plucks me off the side of the road in the middle of a thunderstorm, it's clear the now-divorced single dad isn't the boy I once loved. For one, his daughters don't know he broke their favorite country singer's heart after high school. For another, he's grumpy. He stress bakes. And he can't put space between us fast enough. And yet, one kiss later and I'm four songs deep into my new album.With Rhys as inspiration, I can achieve my dream. But when it's time to go, that'll be the end of us. He's never leaving Bourbon Canyon, while the whole world will be my stage. If he can't set aside the past and see what's waiting for us, then the biggest love of my life will be nothing but a bourbon harmony. Montoya, Malaquias (illustrateur).…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Maria Toorpakai is a true inspiration, a pioneer for millions of other women struggling to pave their own paths to autonomy, fulfillment, and genuine personhood. --Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and And the Mountains Echoed Maria Toorpakai hails from Pakistan's violently oppressive northwest tribal region, where the idea of women playing sports is considered haram-un-Islamic-forbidden-and girls rarely leave their homes. But she did, passing as a boy in order to play the sports she loved, thus becoming a lightning rod of freedom in her country's fierce battle over women's rights. A Different Kind of Daughter tells of Maria's harrowing journey to play the sport she knew was her destiny, first living as a boy and roaming the violent back alleys of the frontier city of Peshawar, rising to become the number one female squash player in Pakistan. For Maria, squash was more than liberation-it was salvation. But it was also a death sentence, thrusting her into the national spotlight and the crosshairs of the Taliban, who wanted Maria and her family dead. Maria knew her only chance of survival was to flee the country. Enter Jonathon Power, the first North American to earn the title of top squash player in the world, and the only person to heed Maria's plea for help. Recognizing her determination and talent, Jonathon invited Maria to train and compete internationally in Canada. After years of living on the run from the Taliban, Maria packed up and left the only place she had ever known to move halfway across the globe and pursue her dream. Now Maria is well on the way to becoming a world champion as she continues to be a voice for oppressed women everywhere.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Ten years ago, Eva Maria Staal kept a gun in her purse. It was a present from her boss, Jimmy Liu, the international arms dealer extraordinaire with a taste for high-class male escorts. Together, Jimmy and his devoted assistant traveled the world's most dangerous hotspots, closing deals with ruthless warlords and corrupt generals, and trading Stinger missiles in Karachi, AK-47s in Chechnya, and hollow-point bullets in Islamabad. But burdened by her conscience, Eva Maria finally got out, married an optometrist, and had a baby.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Having only been given a name for their unique nature a few decades ago, highly sensitive people, or HSPs, are finally able to identify their traits and connect with one another in new and beneficial ways. In her book, The Emerging Sensitive: A Guide For Finding Your Place In The World, Maria Hill illuminates the path to self-exploration and discovery for HSPs. The Emerging Sensitive paints a vivid picture of how the sensitive experience has created a unique life journey. It illuminates the history of sensitive people by tracing the roots of HSPs back to the earliest civilizations. Using the evolutional framework of Spiral Dynamics as laid out by Don Beck and Chris Cowan The Emerging Sensitive discusses the shifting roles of highly sensitive people in societies throughout the ages and explores what the future holds as culture shifts to a more HSP-friendly stage while including ideas for moving out into the world in a safe way. The book provides important mental supports through frameworks that HSPs need in order to navigate the world more easily. It has 4 parts and a large resources section. Part 1: Understanding The Highly Sensitive Trait: - How the biological difference of highly sensitive people results in a unique physically and emotional experience. - How the 'DOES' Model Of Highly Sensitive People created by Dr. Elaine Aron helps us understand the different ways of thinking and processing information for highly sensitive people. - How sensitivity makes a tangible difference in the world. - How the characteristics of sensitivity become a gift to ourselves and each other. Part 2: The Importance And Value Of Frameworks: - What frameworks are, why they are important and how they help us make sense of the world better. - How the evolution framework, Spiral Dynamics, based on the research of Dr. Clare Graves, provides insights for highly sensitive people, and a tool for processing information more easily. Part 3: Getting A Handle On The World: - Why the structures of the world cause HSPs feel out of sync and find it hard to thrive. - How the world is changing and why it provides fresh opportunities for highly sensitive people that will make life more fulfilling. - Which new fields and opportunities for highly sensitive people suit their natures. Part 4: Claiming Agency: - What is agency and why is it hard to claim agency as a highly sensitive person. - Which skills and tools highly sensitive people need to harness their sensitivity for positive results - How to make changes and put the information to work. Finally the book has a large resources section covering the HSP trait, frameworks, trends and opportunities, self help tools including health and stress relief. Hope is not enough. Sensitive people need tools frameworks and viable solutions to the challenges they face. With the guidance and resources contained within this book, HSPs can begin to discover and nurture their true potential.…

It covers topics that are rarely mentioned but crucial to your success, including: The three main challenges and how to overcome them Timing - apply too late and most of the opportunities are already gone; give up looking too early and you miss the opportunities when most of the competition has gone Emotions - before you get to elation, you could meet disappointment. There is one characteristic that all successful candidates have - they can overcome rejection. It doesn't matter how many times you get rejected, what matters is that you get a job offer. Strategy - most students don't have a strategy and this causes them to overlook opportunities, waste time on unsuccessful applications and unnecessarily limit their job search.
