Relive incredible stories. Explore incredible possibilities. During the Boer War, a young journalist’s hunch leads him to safety in the midst of treacherous enemy territory.
In urban USA, a young nurse obeys a voice in her head and narrowly escapes death. In downtown New York, a Wall Street magnate earns a fortune on a single, intuitive impulse. Throughout history, and around the world, millions of people have experienced psi (psychic) insights and inspiration. For centuries, these experiences have been ignored, ridiculed or, worse, condemned people to torture or death. But in recent decades scientists have begun to validate – and unravel – these elusive experiences. Infinite Mind is an award-winning collection of true psi experiences and the modern research that is beginning to explain these phenomena. It is written for the intelligent explorer; those who seek a greater truth about psi experience and how it fits into our modern world. |

Feels, Bridie does, the spirit of herself wakening. A song under her, an ancient walking song, a cold, dark path song, a wending home to the hearth song. Always she has felt it, the unstoppable surge of it, the urge to wander to places secret, hidden from merchants and traders and hunters and missionary men, from all the struggling women and children, from all the toffs and pretenders and all the matters of business. . .
It's 1832 on an isolated coast on the South Island of New Zealand. A lush and tranquil bay is facing a season of upheaval. White man are whaling, sealing, whoring and warring. Creatures are culled, woods are felled. But something more sinister is afoot. There is much demand amongst the English gentry for the rich resources and curiosities to be found in this farthest flung corner of the colonies. But, in order to procure these 'treasures', blood will need to be shed. Bridie Murphy is an immigrant Irish orphan with a sharp tongue and an unbreakable spirit who has been abducted from her home in Sydney. She is forced into a relationship with Robbie Fitch, the roguish captain of a whaling ship. Low-born, perceptive and fiercely protective of her whānau, Manaia O Piripiri has a special role accorded her by the rangatira to protect the village. It also sets her on a dangerous collision course with Robbie and his men. Slipping unwilling into the fray is Quentin Cuthbert, a disillusioned missionary with a past. While Bridie and Manaia forge a precarious and critical alliance, the missionary must decide once and for all where he stands. |

Can you go for periods of time without drinking but can't quite hit the booze on the head for good? Maree MacLean's book takes you beyond bingeing into a lasting happy sobriety. The No Bullshit Guide to Staying Sober challenges us to look at why once we've gained traction we fall off the wagon and start fucking up our own lives again.
The books predecessor, The No Bullshit Guide to Getting Sober inspired readers to begin addressing their conveyor belt of excuses for not getting sober once and for all. Staying Sober then invited readers to get to the bottom of their self-destructive behaviours and look at what their lives might look like if they gave up the booze for good. The book has a companion journal to help listeners personalise each book's content to their own unique situations. |

This epic historical adventure tells the story of pre-colonial Aotearoa New Zealand like it's never been told before. A young Māori man, compelled to learn the stories of his ancestors, returns to his family marae on the east coast of the North Island to speak to his elderly grand-uncle, the keeper of the stories. What follows is an enthralling account of the young man's tipuna, the legendary warrior Kaitanga, after whom his marae's whare puni has been named. Tracing the author's own ancestral line, Kāwai: For Such a Time as This reveals a picture of an indigenous Aotearoa in the mid-18th century, through to the first encounters between Māori and Europeans. It describes a culture that is highly sophisticated with an immense knowledge of science, medicine and religion; proud tribes who live harmoniously within the natural world; a highly capable and adaptable people to whom family and legacy are paramount. However, it is also a culture illuminated by a brutal undercurrent of inter-generational vengeance, witchcraft and cannibalism.
