SIZE 240mm x 260 Landscape PUB DATE SEPTEMBER 2020 This publication is the only New Zealand, conservation-based crea- tive collection of its kind and is also a celebration of their artistic tal- ents as well as what makes New Zealand unique. New Zealand has a distinctive landscape and flora and fauna and there are many artists that celebrate this through their work, whether it is painting, sculpture, ceramics, carving or weaving. This book show- cases a group of 35 established and aspiring artists and their work, looking at what inspires them, and how their awareness of the importance of conservation motivates their work. Many of the artists fea- tured have close ties with the Department of Conservation so have enjoyed unique access and interaction with the landscape. Four or five works from each contributor are displayed, accompanied by captions from the artists themselves that explain their technical and emotional approach to the subject, along with a brief artist profile and photo. This is not a book just about conservation, but a celebration of the artistic talent New Zealand has to offer, both to New Zealand and around the world. The subtlety and range of these popular and powerful mediums are exquisitely reproduced, creating a special collection of artistic perspectives of the unique New Zealand landscape, their passion for conser- vation that will be treasured by art lovers, art students and conservationists alike. Chrissy Wickes has worked in conservation for more than 30 years and her work has seen her travel extensively around New Zealand, includ- ing many outlying, isolated parts of the coun- try. She is also an artist and her oil paintings capture the magnificence of the New Zealand landscape. She works with other artists who are also interested in conservation in curating group exhibitions and shares their passion for furthering conservation efforts through their artwork. Sonia Frimmel is a Waikato-based artist and author of guidebooks to her re- gion’s walking and cycle tracks. She also produces creative display panels with conservation themes – incorporating art as way to tell these stories is im- portant to her. She is inspired by her 30 years working alongside people com- mitted to conservation and the time she has spent tramping in some of New Zealand’s most beautiful places. STOCK UP!

IT’S BRUTAL! RRP $34.99 AUTHOR SIMON HAMMOND ISBN 9781760792831 FORMAT Paperback EXTENT 180 pages B/W SIZE 210mm x 150mm PUB DATE September What they’re saying about BRUTAL TRUTHS: “wow wow!! Often people ask which is the money slide - you have 178 of them!!” Professor John Pollaers OAM. Chancellor Swinburne University. Simon Hammond doesn’t mince words. Are you finding yourself scratching your head in confusion at the newfound politi- cally correct, anti-intuitive world? Simon is... After three internationally acclaimed books, Simon unleashes the ‘Brutal Truths’ about the way society has changed, not only in New Zealand but globally, and, more importantly, the way we need to look at ourselves to get back on track. Beyond COVID-19, society is facing a much bigger threat in 2021, accentuated by the pandemic, but evolving through 20 years of ‘borrowed beliefs’; We are a civili- sation in decay, through ‘over civilisation’. Simon believes there are 6 Brutal Truths, holding us back in today’s society: • We’re mentally weak, not mentally ill. • We’ve lost our tribes - we’re not in this together. • We’re not equal - life’s a scoreboard. • We’re still animals. We need heroes. We’re not racists, we’re labellers. BRUTAL TRUTHS will divide people like few books do and tackles every societal taboo from racism, to mental illness, to religion and minority thinking controlling the majority. BRUTAL TRUTHS is designed to provoke feeling and to force people to take a side. Simon examines in great detail why things don’t make sense anymore and amid this craziness there is only one thing we can do; go back to the simple notion of knowing where you stand as the world goes mad. What do you believe? What is your truth, your values, your ethics, your best play? This book examines what everybody’s been thinking, but too afraid to ask!
