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.

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!

New Zealand media (Print/Radio & Television) have shown in-
credible interest in the book—see next page. A pre-launch pod-
cast is available on request

PAKEHA SLAVES, MAORI MASTERS
The Forgotten Story of New Zealand’s White Slaves
 Contentious—YES
 Controversial—YES
 Generates lively debate—ABSOLUTELY!
 New Zealand author Trevor Bentley examines in depth the previously overlooked enslave-
 ment of many of the first white settlers, as well as some of the colonists who arrived fol-
 lowing the Treaty of Waitangi. Slavery in the popular imagination has always been associ-
 ated with the enslavement of Africans, and with good reason. Slavery however, is univer-
 sal and not something that only white people did to black people.
 The main focus in this book is the Europeans who lived and sometimes died as slaves in
 tribal New Zealand between the 1790s and 1880s.It examines when, where, why and how
 Maori obtained these slaves and the types of Europeans seized. It explores the diverse
 slave roles performed by white slaves, their sale prices and the immediate and long term
 physical and psychological effects of their servitude. A fascinating and revealing story, for
 both historians and a broad readership.
 Author Trevor Bentley has a PhD in history in has had a long-standing interest in the interaction of Maori and Pake-
 ha in pre-Treaty New Zealand and the Europeans who entered Maori tribal societies voluntarily and involuntarily.
 He has done significant research on New Zealand history pre-Treaty of Waitangi, and on “culture crossers”. He has
 written three books on the subject. He is an adult education director for four Waikato colleges and is a member of
 the NZ Military History Society.

COMPANION PLANTING IN NEW ZEALAND
This massively popular title is BACK!
In this age of increasing hostility towards chemical control of the food we eat, Companion Planting in New
Zealand is the ideal guide to working with nature to produce cabbages that ‘squeak with health’ and
beans that ‘snap like a gunshot’. Every tip in this book has worked for somebody – why it worked may be
a mystery, but the result of a healthy crop is the greatest reward for a gardener and this book shows how
it can be achieved.
Entertaining and often anecdotal, Brenda Little's notes are inspired by a wealth of experience and com-
mon sense. Companion Planting in New Zealand offers the reader a gardening system relying completely
on observation of the natural ecosystem and a respect for the plants and animals living there, e.g. how
parsley grows well with chives but away from mint and where a light spray of seaweed solution is useful

THE AUTHOR
Brenda Little wrote several novels and a number of long-selling non-fiction titles, in including
Organic Gardening, Companion Planting and The Complete Guide to Herbs and Spices. In
these (and in the many articles and columns to her name) Brenda put a lifetime's experience
of gardening into a chatty and informal style that both informed and amused.

Whether you’re 5 years old or 65, it’s never too late to get to know the feathered friends in our back-
yard,and learning their songs will open your eyes to a whole new world. Therefore this beautifully il-
lustrated sound guide is the perfect way to introduce both children and adults to the wonders of bird
song.
Each of the 12 species covered – Morepork, Kaka, Sacred Kingfisher, Grey Warbler, Silvereye, Bell-
bird,Tui, Fantail, Chaffinch, Song Thrush, Blackbird and Starling – has a short description explaining
some fascinating facts about that bird. Then the reader can press the relevant button on the panel on
the side of the book and a short burst of the bird’s song will be played via the accompanying speaker.
