From Muldoon to Luxon, untold stories from the House of Parliament Barry Soper has spent the best part of five decades reporting from New Zealand's corridors of power.

His working life can be measured in 12 prime ministers: from the larger than life characters of Rob Muldoon and David Lange, to the golden age of Helen Clark and John Key, to the post-Covid era of Ardern and Luxon - Soper's insight and nose for a story is second-to-none.

This book reveals the inside scoop from the halls, hotels and side-rooms where New Zealand's chosen leaders - for better or worse - created their lasting legacy.'It's fair to say Barry knew, and still knows, where all the bones are buried.'- former prime minister, Sir John Key

Discover the hidden kingdom that keeps our planet alive in this stunning tribute to Aotearoa's wild and wonderful fungi In The Secret Life of Fungi, obsessive fungi photographer Jay Lichter takes you on an extraordinary journey into the mysterious world of fungi - from the tiniest fruiting bodies barely visible to the naked eye, to the sprawling mycelial networks that stretch for kilometres beneath our feet.
Without fungi, there would be no plants, no animals, no us. With his stunning photography and infectious curiosity, Jay uncovers the bizarre beauty, hidden intelligence and ecological genius of the fungi world. Funny, fascinating and a little bit filthy, this book celebrates the unsung heroes of our planet - the recyclers, the networkers, the quiet alchemists who make life possible.
Once you've glimpsed their secret world, you'll never look at fungi the same way again.

this memoir just in!

Patricia Cornwell is best known for her international bestselling thriller series about forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta. Every story comes from somewhere, and Scarpetta's began when Patricia Cornwell embedded herself in a morgue.

In this achingly honest memoir, Cornwell excavates her own life, detailing her traumatic childhood being raised by neglectful parents, her father abandoning the young family on Christmas day, her mother being institutionalized twice, an abusive foster family, and developing a parental relationship with evangelist Billy Graham’s wife Ruth. Cornwell depicts a harrowing hospitalization and near-death car accident. She unflinchingly shares overcoming obstacles that later gave her the ambition to become an award-winning police reporter. From there it was research in a medical examiner’s office that would turn into a full-time job. She would become a forensic expert and worldwide publishing phenomenon.​

Cornwell leaves no stone unturned in this deeply candid account of her life, offering inspiring insight into what made her into the international sensation she is today.​
