A Villa with a View : Book 11
Lia Bathurst had always dreamed of escaping to the white sandy beaches and turquoise blue seas of the Amalfi coast – but that dream hadn’t included meeting her real father. A father she had never even known about until a few weeks ago! Yet here she was, standing outside the gates of a gorgeous pink villa being refused entry by the insufferable – and insufferably handsome – Raphael Knight, her father’s business manager.
When an old black and white photo proves Lia’s claim to be true, Raph is determined to make sure this stranger, with her long caramel waves and infectious smile, doesn’t have an ulterior motive. Even if that means not letting her out of his sight.
As temperatures rise, and not just from the heat of the Mediterranean sun, could Lia and Raph’s forced proximity lead to something more like… amore?

A Nasty Little War
The astonishing untold history of the Western invasion of Soviet Russia - and the tragedy it created.
From the bestselling author of Borderland: A Journey Through the History of Ukraine
The extraordinary story of how the West tried to reverse the Russian Revolution.
In the closing months of the First World War, Britain, America, France and Japan sent arms and 180,000 soldiers to Russia, with the aim of tipping the balance in her post-revolutionary Civil War. From Central Asia to the Arctic and from Poland to the Pacific, they joined anti-Bolshevik forces in trying to overthrow the new men in the Kremlin, in an astonishingly ambitious military adventure known as the Intervention.
Fresh, in the case of the British, from the trenches, they found themselves in a mobile, multi-sided conflict as different as possible from the grim stasis of the Western Front. Criss-crossing the shattered Russian empire in trains, sleds and paddlesteamers, they bivouacked in snowbound cabins and Kirghiz yurts, torpedoed Red battleships from speedboats, improvised new currencies and the world's first air-dropped chemical weapons, got caught up in mass retreats and a typhus epidemic, organised several coups and at least one assassination. Taking tea with warlords and princesses, they also turned a blind eye to their Russian allies' numerous atrocities.
Two years later they left again, filing glumly back onto their troopships as port after port fell to the Red Army. Later, American veterans compared the humiliation to Vietnam, and the politicians and generals responsible preferred to trivialise or forget. Drawing on previously unused diaries, letters and memoirs, A Nasty Little War brings an episode with echoes down the century since vividly to life.

The Kids Will Be All Right : A guide to raising teens in a complex world
An essential guide to parenting today's teenagers.
We live in an age of anxiety - for both parents and teenagers. The straightforward years of childhood can seem a breeze compared to what teens have thrown at them today. Parents worry about how to help their teenagers deal with sex, porn, gender identity, sexting, slut-shaming, social media, bullying, alcohol and drugs, and about their teenagers' high levels of anxiety. Teens worry about how to measure up in a world where their social currency is explicitly measured by likes and followers; they worry about their bodies and their looks, sex, cancel culture and their future.
Life is genuinely different for today's teens and pre-teens than it was even a decade ago, yet New Zealand parents lack access to a comprehensive book with up-to-date, evidence-based and sensible advice on how to help their teens get through the physical, mental and social challenges of adolescence.
The Kids Will Be All Right includes strategies to suggest to your teen to deal with common tricky situations, and covers friendships (and frenemies); bullying; technology use and screen time; drinking, vaping and risk-taking behaviour; self esteem and body image; personal and sexual health; sexual and gender identity; consent; safe relationships; and pornography.
Written by parenting expert Robyn Fausett and with contributions from her daughter, Molly Fausett, The Kids Will Be All Right is an empathetic, insightful guide to navigating the teenage years.
Broken into digestible parts, with numerous examples and anecdotes to help parents know what to do - and say - when, this is an essential guide for today's parents of adolescents.

Denim and Leather
In the late 1970s, aggressive, young bands are forming across Britain. Independent labels are springing up to release their music. But this isn't the story of punk. Forget punk. Punk was a flash in the pan compared to this. This is the story of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a musical movement that changed the world.
From this movement - given the unwieldy acronym NWOBHM - sprang streams that would flow through metal's subsequent development. Without NWOBHM there is no thrash metal, no death metal, no black metal. Without the rise of Iron Maiden, NWOBHM's standard bearers, leading the charge to South America and to South Asia, metal's global spread is slower. Without the NWOBHM bands - who included Def Leppard, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Diamond Head and many others - the international uniform of heavy metal - the 'battle jacket' of a denim jacket with sleeves ripped off, and covered with patches (usually sewn on by the wearer's mum), worn over a leather biker jacket - does not exist: 'Denim and leather brought us all together,' as Saxon put it.
No book has ever gathered together all the principals of British heavy rock's most fertile period: Jimmy Page, Rick Allen, Michael Schenker, Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, Ritchie Blackmore, Rick Savage, Phil Collen, David Coverdale, Cronos, Biff Byford, Joe Elliott, Rob Halford, Ian Gillan, Phil Mogg, Robert Plant, Tony Wilson, Lars Ulrich, Pete Waterman to name a few.
In Denim and Leather, these stars tell their own stories - their brilliant, funny tales of hubris and disaster, of ambition and success - and chart how, over a handful of years from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a group of unlikely looking blokes from the provinces wearing spandex trousers changed heavy music forever.
This is the definitive story about the greatest days of British heavy rock.

African Signs
Throughout Africa, signs above shops along the road, vehicles and walls contain colorful painted advertising and art, designed to attract the attention of passers by and potential customers. Hairdressers, restaurants, garages, butchers, tailors--many such shops began with nothing more than a prominent ad on a sign and grew into a business. The hand-painted sign is a mostly-unheralded form of African art and local culture. These advertisements sprang up in the ‘40s and ‘50s, painted on plywood, metal, hardboard and cement walls. These are “real live” works of art executed by local African craftsmen for consumption by their African customers. Now seen mostly in smaller towns and villages, they are the physical indication of commerce between small businesses and the expression of local artistic sensibilities.African Signs pays homage to this art form. While versions of these signs produced strictly for the export art market can now be found, the authors have gathered here photos taken on location in West Africa, supplemented with only a few from Dutch and American collections. These photos offer an exceptional gateway into contemporary Africa and show that the art of hand-painted signs is still very much alive.

Critical Hits
An anthology of essays on video games by some of today's best literary writers
Whether you're an avid gamer, a Twitch subscriber, or just an incidental Subway Surfer, video games have changed the way you interact with the world, and have been part of our lives for over fifty years. Critical Hits is a celebration of play and playfulness, and the lasting impact of videogames.
Composed of sharp, impassioned, and inquisitive essays, this collection begins with an introduction by Carmen Maria Machado and presents video games through the eyes of eighteen writer-gamers as they straddle real and artificial worlds. In games, they find solace from illness and grief, test ideas about language, bodies, race, and technology, and see their experiences and identities reflected in-or complicated by-the interactive virtual realities they inhabit.
From a deep dive into "portal fantasy" games by Charlie Jane Anders and a comic by MariNaomi about her time as a video game producer, to the overlaps in gaming and poetry by Stephen Sexton, Critical Hits illuminates fragments of an industry that is wildly popular, grossly misunderstood, and absolutely spellbinding.
