The Bird Garden

order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each

Paperback

Author: Fay Bolt

Fay Bolt has been photographing birds for some years now and The Bird Garden presents some of her finest work. This is not a textbook for ornithologists but a loving account of birds and their behaviour for everyone who has ever watched and smiled at birds in a garden. The book presents 28 species of birds that live in or very near Fay Bolt's country garden in the Orinoco Valley near Motueka. She writes of these extraordinary 'ordinary' birds with affection and acute observation, with notes about her garden, and memories of her childhood on a North Otago farm.
The Bird Garden is no ordinary book. It presents an unexpected view of those 'common' birds that we all see and perhaps scarcely even notice. In the pages of The Bird Garden these birds will enter your life in a new way.

First published February 2010.

Planet Penguin

order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each

Hardback

Author: Grant Sheehan

DoP - Dec 2008, Wellington
Probably the most popular bird on the planet, and the only one that walks upright, the penguin cannot fly but is a champion swimmer. There are no penguins at the North Pole, their home is in the Southern Hemisphere; from South Africa to the Galapagos Islands, and in New Zealand, Australia and as far south as Antarctica. Photographer Grant Sheehan became a penguin fan on a recent first visit to Antarctica and the remote islands between there and New Zealand. Birds they may be, but they often appear to behave in human-like ways. Fanciful interpretations have been made as to what might be being said - if they could speak - or think - by these fascinating creatures as they go about their lives in the harsh environments that make up what we can call Planet Penguin

Backroads : Charting a Poet's life

order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each

Hardback

Author: Sam Hunt

Sam Hunt's life as a poet and performer has always strayed far off the straight and narrow, more akin to following a series of winding backroads that have led to places and people away from the mainstream. As a child, Hunt was surrounded by 'a lot of words, a lot of poems,' and from the age of eight, he knew he wanted to live the life of a poet. His parents and grandparents were his earliest influences, and later it was the likes of W. B. Yeats, Pablo Neruda and Dylan Thomas; while within New Zealand, Alistair Campbell, James K. Baxter and Denis Glover, among others, inspired and nurtured him. Backroads is a memoir, a series of reflections by Sam Hunt on his life as a poet. He talks about inspiration and its unwelcome antagonist, drying up; the importance of performing, of 'saying poems out loud'; his good friends, like artist Robin White and his faithful canine companion Minstrel; his early publishing ventures and his experiences with ... more

E3 Call Home : A True Story Of Godwit Migration and Misadventure

order quantity

NZ$ 25.00 each

Paperback

Author: Janet Hunt

Finalist for the Non-fiction category of the New Zealand Post Book Awards 2010

Every year in March thousands of godwits leave New Zealand and fly almost 17,000 kilometres to Alaska, where they mate and raise new godwits, and then turn around and fly all the way back to New Zealand.
This is the story of two godwits whose flight in 2007 was tracked using transmitters. Millions of people watched their progress on the internet. A male bird named E3 mysteriously turned back when he reached Papua New Guinea and then he ceased to transmit altogether. What had happened to him?
A female named E7, however, showed that godwits can fly from Alaska to New Zealand - right across the Pacific - a distance of 11,200 non-stop kilometres.
Packed with wonderful photos, fascinating information about godwits and other wading birds, this is an enchanting story, a true tale to spark the imaginations of children and adults alike.
