Investigate Before You Vaccinate: making an informed decision about vaccination in New Zealand. Sue Claridge $29 "Parents are not informed that vaccines aren't assessed for safety in New Zealand or subjected to independent review or large-scale longitudinal trials. Despite the Ministry of Health's reluctance to provide people with information from both sides of the vaccination debate, we do still have the freedom to choose whether we wish to vaccinate or not. The Immunisation Awareness Society's book: Investigate Before You Vaccinate by Susan K. Claridge is an important reference for people wanting to make an informed decision" ...Sue Kedgley, Green MP. |

Not on the Label Felicity Lawrence $29 Felicity Lawrence is an award-winning journalist and editor who has been writing on food-related issues for twenty years. She is consumer affairs correspondent for the Guardian. We no longer trust what we eat. We lurch instead from food scare to food scare while farming is in crisis around the world. A handful of retailers and food manufacturers exert unprecedented control over what we eat and where we buy it. We have come to depend on processed food that is routinely adulterated. In a series of undercover investigations tracking some of the most popular foods we eat at home, Felicity Lawrence travels from farms and factories to pack-houses and lorry depots across the world. She discovers why beef waste ends up in chicken, why a third of apples are thrown away, why bread is full of water and air. She shows how obesity, blighted town-centres, clogged motorways, environmentally ravaged fields in Europe and starving smallholders in Africa are all intricately related aspects of our newly globalised, industrialised system of twenty-first-century food production. A must read it you want to understand what really goes into the food on your plate. |

Self Help Cancer Cure Book Cancer is relatively easy to prevent and cure. Self help is the context of this book. We, the publishers and authors, have done our best to produce an up-to-date guide to cancer treatment routines with a tried and true history of producing complete recovery - hence our use of the word "cure" in our title. We cannot, obviously, guarantee such cure. Readers should therefore proceed no further unless they are prepared to take on full responsibility for their use of the therapies outlined. |

So Shall We Reap By Colin Tudge $29 Food in the West is cheaper, more convenient and more plentiful than ever.

The Wild Green Yonder Philippa Jamieson $30 Itching for a change, city girl Philippa Jamieson quits her cosy job in Dunedin to travel around New Zealand on the WWOOF scheme (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms). Over the course of two-and-a-half years she volunteers at 40 locations – market gardens, livestock farms, communes – many of which truly lie in the wild and hairy yonder. Along the way Philippa meets a bevy of diverse characters: the irrepressible farm host who’s built his own coffin – with a limerick for an epitaph; Green Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons; and many more, not forgetting Thelma the goat. Some of our unsung heroes can be found in these pages: forward-thinking Kiwis who are quietly working away at producing healthy food without toxins, saving heirloom crop varieties, practising self-sufficiency and improving the soil for the next generation. Informative, entertaining and affectionate, The Wild Green Yonder offers inspiration to anyone with a yen for life’s positive alternatives, as well as a unique view on where organic farming is at in New Zealand today. |
