THE LAST CONSPIRACY -
Allen Gray Published in March 2000, this novel is set in the future - 2004.
"These tapes, the tapes herein transcribed, are the product of a man whom I saw
but once, and even then, merely as the bodily remains ... chained and trapped,
in a crashed helicopter, high in the Richardson Mountains". This book is about
the voice recording of a man who had only two days to live and only two cassette
tapes to tell his story. And it is intriguing, too! Foreign conspiracies,
multinational manipulations, the mafia, political corruption - it's all here! As
entertaining as it is horrific, you won't be able to put this short novel down!
It is dedicated to the Green movements of the world. Allen Gray is a Green Party
activist who lives in Oamaru, New Zealand.
GREENHOUSE NEW ZEALAND. Jim Salinger. This book is
for every New Zealander who wants to find out about the workings of our of our
climate and how the enhanced greenhouse effect might change it. Especially this
year, with the extremes of the worst El Nino weather pattern upon us, this book
will broaden our knowledge of the weather's impact for now and the future. A
must for everyone concerned with the environment.
THE PAPER MIDWIFE. Ingrid and Paul Johnson. This
book is still New Zealand's only comprehensive guide on homebirth. Especially
written for New Zealand conditions, complete with assessment charts and
comprehensively illustrated. Thousands of copies sold in New Zealand, Australia
and the USA.
MILTON - The Story of a Lockout. David Tranter..As
Murray Matthews, one of those originally locked out of the Alliance Woollen
Mills said "If you don't fight, you can't win - No fight is lost, until you
give in" In the light of recent Government moves to destroy workers' right
to statutory holidays, this book, which details an almost six year of struggle
against the Alliance Mills injustices against its workers, is a must. Limited
number of copies available. The sixth anniversay of this lockout, the longest in
New Zealand's history, will be celebrated on 12th January 1998.
POSITIVELY ARCHITECTURE. Gerald Melling. This book, on the
revolutionary architecture of Wellington's Roger Walker, has sold well in New
Zealand , Australia and the USA. For those who prefer Walker's blending,
innovative and pleasant style of architecture to the mindless steel and glass
blocks in most NZ cities, this is the book for you. In the early 1980's he
designed the Wellington Club building around the big tree in the Terrace.
"When I was designing the Wellington Club, I felt intuitively that some time
in the future such a valuable site could be threatened by the demolition
contractor and replaced with a 20-story tower, so I deliberately over-structured
the building - it's massively strong - in the hope that the resultant heavy cost
of demolition might dissuade future entreneurs from destroying it," said
Roger Walker at the time. Famous last words. It was destroyed and replaced by
just such a 20-story tower.
WEATHERBOARD - BY TONY BEYER
"Trevor Reeves proposed a chapbook after I sent him some work for Southern Ocean Review early in 1999. I've tried to persuade him not to make it look too like The Meat, Enough deja-vu, Here we go again". 14 new poems by Tony Beyer, author of seven previous books of poems.
HARROWING TIMES. Neale McMillan et al.Photo caption book.
Press photos with hilarious captions "Is this what they really said?" Many
emerging, present and past politicians lampooned. Imagine, Prime Minister Jenny
Shipley saying earnestly "And we're introducing a part charge on the milk of
human kindness." This book is TOTALLY FREE with every order for the discount
