Very good softback, minor shelf/edge wear, no inscriptions. 208 pages. What is it about this event that inspires so many to drive their bodies to the absolute limit? Everybody wonders how far they could push themselves if they really tried, and in Conquering the Coast to Coast Kelly Barber tells the story of how he found out just where his limits really lay. Having decided that he needed some adventure in his life, Kelly trained for months to transform himself from an out-of-shape average joe into an athlete capable of taking on the race's gruelling triathlon of cycling, running and kayaking. Going from the west to east coasts of the South Island, he raced through 243 kilometres of some of New Zealand's most beautiful and difficult terrain. He discovered a great deal about himself in the process and that he was capable of far more than he had ever imagined. Whether you have participated in this physically and mentally demanding event, dreamt of attempting it, or have tried desperately to understand why someone you know would put themselves through it, Kelly's story will take you on an amazing armchair journey of discovery. Packed with tips and advice on how to effectively train for the Coast to Coast, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure. All books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand.

Softcover / Paperback. Condición: Fine. First edition. Paperback. What's your response to the increasing number of cruel and apparently pointless murders - often of people who were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time? The author, an experienced lawyer, argues that murder has become more brutal, more random and more common, and the punishment no longer fits the crime. He examines arguments against capital punishment, considers the alternatives and looks at why the death penalty has failed in America, when it worked for many years in Britain. The author has made his stand on this contentious issue, presenting his own case for capital punishment. He does not pretend that he is presenting a balanced view. He argues that humanely administered, with safeguards against mistakes, capital punishment may provide the answer to the escalating murder rate that 'present' policies do not. With List of Countries that do not use the death penalty, List of Countries that do use the death penalty + Bibliog. 144pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.…

Many New Zealanders have a surveyor or two in their family tree but very little has been written about the literally hundreds of surveyors who were working in New Zealand in the nineteenth century.

Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. Hooked: The Story of the New Zealand Fishing Industry by David Johnson Publisher: Hazard Press, Christchurch , 2004, first edition. Softback in excellent condition with no inscriptions. From the introduction: Fishing is not an industry. It's a passion. That passion grips people of all backgrounds, all ages. Some are hunters, who would catch the last fish in the world if they could. Some are men (or women) of the sea, happy only when the deck is moving beneath their feet, the engine is turning over with a steady beat, and the seabirds are screaming.Some are skilled shipwrights. Some are conservationists, keen observers of their environment, deeply concerned about fish stocks and catches. Those who catch fish are only one part of the equation. There are those who work in the factory decks of trawlers or in filleting lines ashore. There are those who fill the windows of their shops with fish of all shapes and sizes. There are those who travel the world with briefcases and laptop computers, searching for markets, doing deals. There are those who spend their time matching fishing quotas with catches, juggling shortfalls and by-catches, matching catches and production facilities with markets. There are those who regulate, make rules, try to catch poachers. 551 pages, illustrated. All books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Dare to Dream: The John Britten Story by Felicity Price. Published by Hazard Press Limited, 2004. Hardback with jacket in very good condition with no inscriptions, light crease to a couple of pages. Jacket has some shelf wear, minor marks, rubbing and chipping. 144 pages, 200 photographs. John Britten was a visionary, a genius, a motivational legend of the late 20th century whose distinctive home-built bright pink and blue Britten motorcycle achieved iconic status world-wide. His achievements would never have happened if it hadn't been for the dedicated team of people who went along for the ride - mechanics, engineers, designers, spray painters, riders, caterers, sponsors, family and friends. The bike, however, was just one of John's dreams. There were many other projects he worked on - some were successful, some not. All along, John remained the boy who refused to grow up, the daredevil Peter Pan who would have a go at anything, utterly fearless of the consequences. This book is an explanation of the bike - why it was good and what is special about it - as well as the good times and bad times John and his team encountered on their way to achieving world recognition and fame. It also covers the other things John accomplished in his short lifetime - the beautiful things he built, the cars and bikes he owned, the adventures he had, the wondrous parties he threw. And it takes a close look at his family - his beautiful model wife Kirsteen, his children, his mother and sisters - to find out what shaped him into the visionary he became, what was so special about him and what might have happened if he hadn't died.
