    Mana. It's a big word. But what is it? Are you born with it, can you earn it, can it be taken away? 
 
For more than five decades, Tame Iti has stood at the heart of Aotearoa's struggle for indigenous rights. From land marches to performance art, police raids to prison cells, his voice has challenged New Zealand to reckon with its colonial legacy.  
 
Once branded as a dangerous and extreme activist, nowhailed as a national treasure, Tame has lived the contradictions and realities of standing with mana motuhake in a modern world. 
 
After being silenced from speaking te reo Maori as a child, Tame went on to champion its revitalisation. He discovered the power of protest and what it means to live with mana in a world that often tries to strip it away. 
 
This is his korero of the road he walked and the people who joined him. The comrades, the supporters, and the ones who tried to take him out. 
 
Mana is the story of a man who has never stopped challenging the status quo. It cements Tame's place as one of Aotearoa's most iconic figures.

    A Daily Telegraph and BBC History Magazine Book of the Year 
'Popular history at its best' Spectator 
'Boisterous… replete with stabbings, bashing and thumping' Daily Mail 
'A cocktail of brutal, tragic, and fascinating true crime from the era of the Tudors and Stuarts. This dark history at its best, narrated with empathy and precision' Gareth Russell 
LADY KILLERS AND FEMME FATALES – STORIES OF MURDER MOST FOUL – HAVE GRIPPED PUBLIC IMAGINATION FOR CENTURIES 
Early Modern Britain was awash with pamphlets, ballads, woodcuts broadcasting bloodthirsty tales of traitorous wives, greedy mistresses, cunning female poisoning lacing the supper with deadly substances; of child killers and spiteful witches, stories of women wholly and unnaturally wicked. These were printed or sung, tacked the walls of alehouses, sold in the streets for pennies and read voraciously to thrill all. But why? When the vast majority of murders then (and now) are committed by men. 
In this bold, page-turning new history, former police officer and historian Blessin Adams tells stories of women whose violent crimes shattered the narrow confines of their gender – and whose notoriety revealed a society that was at once repulsed by and attracted to murderous female rebellion. Based on detailed research in court archives, each chapter explores murders that thrilled and terrified the British public; the crimes that caused the most concern and provoked the most debate. Women in this period killed rarely, and when they did it was usually within the context of extreme provocation or domestic violence. Adams has the ability of the best crime novelists in recreating the setting in which each case occurred as well as the motivations of each perpetrator. 
Thou Savage Woman reminds us that women in the past had voices, that they sought to control their bodies and their environments and that they also had the capacity for committing acts of unspeakable violence. 
In Thou Savage Woman, Blessin Adams delves into the dark corners of Europe's Elizabethan era, unearthing the chilling tales of notorious female criminals. This non-fiction biography is a must-read for those fascinated by the macabre and the up-coming release is already topping pre-order lists. 
For fans of Michelle Morgan (The Book of Hope), Kate Summerscale (The Peepshow), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), David Wilson (My Life with Murderers), and Christopher Clark (Kaiser Wilhelm II).

    "First appearing in print in 1979, this remarkable and intimate audiobook chronicles the implosion of the 1960s and reports on the people, mores, and trends that defined that turbulent time."—AudioFileFirst published in 1979, Joan Didion's The White Album records indelibly the upheavals and aftermaths of the 1960s.
