This is a book about a modern architectural movement that bubbled up in a small, conservative city at the bottom of the world.
During the 1960s, Christchurch, New Zealand exploded with a creative force which developed into a distinct style of architecture that was widely admir...ed and imitated and remains influential today.
For a decade Christchurch architects worked with a potent energy and urgency, creating hundreds of homes (and many of New Zealand's best public and commercial buildings) in a regional style that is arguably the closest thing the country has to a modern indigenous style of architecture.
The 12 homes illustrated in the book are just a small representation of the style and architects of the period. They remain as intact examples of the ideas, materials and optimism of the time.

The world will never forget 2020. The challenge of the covid pandemic has affected all our lives, especially the Kiwi diaspora - those many New Zealanders around the world, working and playing and representing the spirit of our nation. Continuing his 'This is us' series from pre-...covid, Wellingtonian Pete Carter sought out the stories of Kiwis around the world during the 2020 pandemic: locked down, isolated, stuck, away from home and family, making it work for themselves wherever they were. Here are nearly 200 stories, from Kiwis alone, with their partners, with family, or with flatmates; across every continent, working, surviving, having fun, making the most it. This is our family. And wherever they are, this is their home.

Advocates say it can treat wound infections and other conditions.Honey has been used since ancient times to treat multiple conditions.

Some also boost production of special cells that can repair tissue damaged by infection. And honey has an anti-inflammatory action that can quickly ease pain and inflammation.But not all honey is the same.

A short yet highly informative introduction to the life and work of New Zealand's esteemed artist Colin McCahon.
"There is something about the way Colin McCahon's life and work intertwine that resists interpretation. He always insisted it was the work that was important, not t...he life; while at the same time maintaining that the work was autobiographical. He also said that all art is about death: biography, too, seeks to describe the shape of a life which is over.
Endless Yet Never is not exhaustive; nor psychological; nor even interpretative. Instead it sets out the primary facts of the artist's life in chronological order, relates those facts to the work he did and suggests what his influences, his preoccupations and his ambitions at any given time might have been.
The virtue of concision in the re-telling of a life is the opportunity it gives to identify the main lines without seeking to explain them. Biography may be an imperfect form; but it can show the trajectory of a soul and also say something about the character of that soul's journey.
This is what Endless Yet Never tries to do."
