Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Greville Texidor--one-time Bloomsbury insider, globetrotting chorus-line dancer, former heroin addict, anarchist militia-woman, and recent inmate of Holloway Prison--became a writer only after arriving in New Zealand as a refugee in 1940. First in remote Paparoa, and then on Auckland's North Shore as a central member of Frank Sargeson's circle of writers and intellectuals, she recalled many of the events of her life in the novella These Dark Glasses and a dazzling series of stories. After Texidor left New Zealand for Australia and Spain in 1948, she continued to write but finished little. She died by her own hand in 1964. Her published and some unpublished fiction was collected in 1987 in In Fifteen Minutes You Can Say a Lot. All the Juicy Pastures tells the story of Greville Texidor's extraordinary life in full for the first time, and puts her small but essential body of work in vivid context. Illustrated with many never-before-seen photographs, it restores an essential New Zealand writer to new generations of readers. 296 pages.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 336 pages. Cover worn.The debate on the science is over. Climate change is real; it is happening ev en faster than previously thought and it is powerfully influenced by human activ ities. As events like Hurricane Katrina, the shrinking of the ice-caps and the c alamitous 2003 European heatwave remind us, climate change is not a future threa t: it already profoundly affects the world we live in. Scientific evidence shows that dangerous climate change can only be averted through concerted global acti on - not in 30 years' time, but over the coming decade. Bold policies, informed public debate and decisive political leadership are critical, yet many countries - New Zealand among them - have been slow to act. With contributions by more th an 30 leading scientists and policy experts, from New Zealand and elsewhere, thi s book will increase public understanding about climate change and help to devel op robust, effective policies. It presents the latest scientific evidence, exami nes the likely impacts of climate change on New Zealand and the Pacific, and out lines a range of policy solutions. It is based on a major Climate Change and Gov ernance Conference held in Wellington in March 2006. The overwhelming message is one of urgency, but also optimism: it is not too late to make a difference.…
