The Spirit of Manaaki
Maori elder Maata Wharehoka’s teachings on birth, death, climate, and healing• Reveals how Maata integrated her own experiences of trauma and colonialism with traditional Maori wisdom to develop modern teachings• Shares Maori practices around birth, death, and healing, and Maata’s ritual of Kahu Whakatere to embrace bereavement, transition, and loss• Tells the story of Parihaka, the birthplace of nonviolent protest, and how its teachings speak to humanity todayEntering the Maori worldview is like stepping into a verdant landscape where humans and plants, animals, the land, rain, and mountains are united. This may sound like a step into a distant past, but it is the model of living that matriarch Maata Wharehoka has been sustaining her entire life in Aotearoa, New Zealand. The Maori word manaaki means to protect, to show respect, and to take care. This is the essence of Maata Wharehoka’s wisdom. Transmitting Maata’s wisdom to the world is the task Stephanie Mines set for herself as she shares in this book Maata’s pioneering efforts in healthcare, parenting, and social justice as well as her interpretations of traditional Maori teachings. Stephanie reveals how Maata used her experiences of trauma and colonialism, along with generational Indigenous wisdom, to develop teachings for our times. Readers will learn Maata’s Maori practices around healing, death and dying, and relationship to elders as well as her views on the sanctity of birthing, parenting, kuiatanga (the way of the kuia, or women elders), inclusive healthcare, and the Earth. Maata’s practice of Kahu Whakatere—a ritual to embrace bereavement, transition, and loss—shows how death can be a peacemaker and unifier. And lastly Stephanie lets us see and understand the Maori view of the climate crisis and how to address it with nature-informed consciousness. With reflective exercises that share the hard-won wisdom of an elder, this book allows Maata’s spirit of manaaki—protection, respect, and care—to reach beyond Aotearoa to the world.

Exposure
A captivating exploration of contemporary Antipodean photography and the power of the lens to observe, interpret and inspire.
A photograph is a visual capture of a fleeting moment in time. A split second on either side can change the result entirely: the exact moment of exposure is critical. More than simply a static image, a photograph has the power to evoke emotion, revealing both the seen and the unseen.
In her latest collection, Amber Creswell Bell explores the work of forty contemporary photographers from Australia and New Zealand, such as Leila Jeffreys, Bill Henson and Kara Rosenlund. Each artist shares insights into their practice, ranging from the whimsical to the wild, addressing subjects as diverse as the environment, motherhood and identity. Some point and shoot; others meticulously curate a scene, but they all strive for creative connection with the viewer through this common medium. Exposure captures the essence of modern photography, showcasing bold perspectives, striking landscapes and intimate portraits that reflect the region's cultural richness and natural beauty.

Dust and Pomegranates
From a magical childhood in Kenya, through misery at an American high school, to rescue by an inspirational teacher in England, Victoria Whitworth weaves a sublimely rich narrative, which is both an ode to her beloved Greece and Corfu, and a highly original exploration of myth and legend. Her adventures in the often weird and unsettling world of a Corinth English language school, and the shattering experience of her rape by a Greek taxi driver, lead Victoria to question some deeply familiar stories. Did Agamemnon really kill his daughter Iphigenia, so the wind would fill their sails for Troy? Was beautiful Helen of Troy a powerful enchantress? Or a tragic victim? Was Theseus, the Minotaur slayer, a superhero, or a predatory rapist? Or were they all of these things? This beautiful memoir asks repeatedly where truth lies, and how, as women, we can survive violence and conquer fear.
