$29.99 NZD

Category: Gift Books | Reading Level: 4 Non Fiction

Whether you're a regular globe-trotter or an armchair traveler, these 80 works conjure up the spirit of place for locations on every continent. Sometimes the setting of a novel is as important as the story--where would Dickens be without London, or Edith Wharton without New York? Who can read Tales of t he City and not want to visit San Francisco, or enjoy Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and not wonder whether perhaps Botswana should be on your bucket list? Covering every corner of the world, from North and South America to Europe, the Far East, Australia, Africa, and more, there are classics by famous authors, alongside works by new writers. Sometimes a native of the country is best able to convey its true nature, but then an outside observer can recreate the attraction of the unknown. Whether you have already decided on a destination and want to get a feel for the place, or you are just looking for ideas for your next getaway, Around the World in 80 Novels is full of inspirational reads that will fire your imagination and have you reaching for your suitcase. ...Show more

With your lobster, it's about the real stuff...lying on your back to watch clouds, tickling each other until y ou need to pee, or devouring a box set all in one go. You will know when you find your lobster: they will chuckle at the same jokes, let you share their fries and will buckle up to accompany you on this crazy ride called life. Ways you will know you have found your lobster and not just fished out another crab: - You looked in all the right places and there was your lobster, just getting on with life in the deep blue...one touch of a claw and you were smitten. - You find yourself looking up at clouds and seagulls rather than under rocks or in the muddy depths - the world feels much bigger and full of hope when your lobster is around. - You feel literally unstoppable: Team Lobster against the world! - Any bad habits your lobster may have - blowing their nose loudly or constantly running late - are overlooked as just one of the many facets of their utterly adorable personality. ...Show more

Everything is Connected - Reimagining the World One Postcard at a Time by Keri Smith

$26.00 NZD

Category: Gift Books

Keri Smith's Everything is Connected is not just a book of postcards. It's a series of experiments designed to shake us out of our ruts. Through the ingenious use of the common postcard, Keri Smith encourages us to embark on a quest to reanimate everyday life. No matter how hard we try, everyday life al ways becomes predictable. From the toothpaste we use and the clothing we wear, to the way we talk and what we do in our free time, we follow the same habits, most likely because someone told us to, or we never really gave it much thought to begin with. But what if we could shape our lives into our own vision, informed with our own desires and passions? What if we had the power to create our own realities whenever we wished - just by changing the way we perform simple tasks? Keri Smith is a bestselling author, illustrator, and thinker. Her books demonstrate a 'learn by doing' approach, and are being used in school curriculums all over the world as a way of fostering non-traditional methods of creative exploration. She also teaches and conducts workshops based on her techniques throughout North America. Her works include Wreck this Journal, This is Not A Book, How to Be an Explorer of the World, Mess and Finish This Book, as well as Wreck This App and This is Not an App. ...Show more
