In 2005 the Kiwi Rugby League team did the impossible - not only did they win the Gillette Tri-Nations Rugby League series against Britain and Australia, they did it by taking out their arch rivals, the Kangaroos, in an unprecedented 24 nil pounding. With a brand new coach, Bluey Anderson, who drew inspiration from his wife's gritty battle with cancer, to a team fired up with a dedication to the task and a determination to do things differently this time. A new spirit filled the camp - with seasoned players like captain Ruben Wiki, Stacey Jones and Nigel Vagana acting as mentors to the younger players ? and fostering a whanau atmosphere where the team decided they weren't there to party ? they were there to win. The difference was obvious to everyone who took part or came into contact with them - and that special atmosphere and dedication has been captured in this celebration of the tour and their amazing achievement. Full colour, extensively illustrated with photographs and personal memorabilia collected by tour manager the irrepressible Peter Leitch- the Mad Butcher. with our own marketing and publicity. With profiles on leading players, incidents and anecdotes from behind the scenes and exciting match summaries ? the book is a celebration of an amazing team and their extraordinary achievement.

Aspiring entrepreneurs, aviation buffs, and job-seekers wanting a fresh start must read this personal, gritty tale of creating a complex airline from scratch, and quickly turning it into a $120,000,000 business. Readers are in the pilot's seat for every twist and turn of this breathless, gut wrenching, and inspiring high speed flight. From outrageously edgy capital-sourcing to all-out combat with competitors and the FAA, you will experience what entrepreneurial hardball is really about. It will either scare the business suit off you or convince you that anything is possible. Anyone searching for greater opportunity can learn valuable lessons about determination, personal resourcefulness, ethical limits, and hope from this true story. Fueled by anger and obsessed with justice, I went from an unemployed Eastern Air Lines pilot to founder and CEO of the "Best Airline in America" in two years. Without a penny or a clue, I started KIWI International Air Lines by tapping into the deepest needs of my bruised, battered, and out-of-work Eastern Air Lines colleagues. In March 1989, the Eastern pilots, mechanics, and flight attendants walked out on strike. The company eventually failed, and 27,000 workers lost many of the best jobs in America. Some built new lives, some muddled through, and some never recovered. But several hundred invested their money and talents with me to create an exciting new career opportunity. In 1993, Conde Naste Traveler named KIWI "Best Airline in America." By combining financial, professional, and personal resources we reclaimed our dignity from a collusive triad of industry, government, and union agendas that had done its best to destroy us. Instead of cowering and giving up, we joined forces, believed in each other, and overcame every obstacle in our path. The risky journey began in early 1990 as nothing but a crazy dream, and the first flight took off in September of 1992. When I left in 1995 KIWI was a $120,000,000 airline employing 1,

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Polly Evans was a woman with a mission. Before the traditional New Zealand male hung up his sheep shears for good, Polly wanted to see this vanishing species with her own eyes. Venturing into the land of giant kauri trees and smaller kiwi birds, she explores the country once inhabited by fierce Maori who carved their enemies’ bones into cutlery, bushwhacking pioneers, and gold miners who lit their pipes with banknotes—and comes face-to-face with their surprisingly tame descendants. So what had become of the mighty Kiwi warrior? As Polly tears through the countryside at seventy-five miles an hour, she attempts to solve this mystery while pub-crawling in Hokitika, scaling the Southern Alps, and enduring a hair-raising stay in a mining town where the earth has been known to swallow houses whole. And as she chronicles the thrills and travails of her extraordinary odyssey, Polly’s search for the elusive Kiwi comes full circle—teaching her some hilarious and surprising lessons about motorcycles, modern civilization, and men.

"A fast-paced page-turner and a unique adventure story . . . filled with insights about landscapes, people, and a world of wonderful birds.”―Kenn Kaufman, author of Kingbird Highway An epic tale of one passionate birder’s record-breaking adventure through 40 countries over 6 continents—in just one year—to see 6,852 bird species, rare and common, before many go extinct. When Arjan Dwarshuis first heard of the “Big Year”—the legendary record for birdwatching—he was twenty years old, it was midnight, and he was sitting on the roof of a truck in the Andean Mountains. In that moment he promised himself that, someday, somehow, he would become a world-record-holding birder. Ten years later, he embarked on an incredible, arduous, and perilous journey that took him around the globe; over uninhabited islands, through dense unforgiving rainforests, across snowy mountain peaks and unrelenting deserts—in just a single year. Would he survive? Would he be able to break the “Big Year” record, navigating through a world filled with shifting climate and geopolitical challenges? The (Big) Year that Flew By is an unforgettable, personal exploration of the limits of human potential when engaging with the natural world. It is a book about birds and birding and Arjan’s attempts to raise awareness for critically endangered species, but it is also a book about overcoming mental challenges, extreme physical danger, and human competition and fully realizing your passions through nature, adventure, and conservation. "Dwarshius’ exhilarating race against time across 40 countries and 6 continents in his attempt to break the world record will thrill armchair readers and bird enthusiasts alike."―Booklist "I sped through [this] book, trying to ignore feelings of jealousy as Dwarshuis described moments with species I’ve dreamed of seeing.”—The Washington Post
