  This bundle offers a compelling exploration of the complex and often turbulent history of colonial conflict in the Southern Hemisphere. This three-part volume dives into the significant struggles that shaped the histories of Australia and New Zealand, shedding light on the fierce resistance of Indigenous communities against colonial powers.  
  The first section, Australia’s War, delves into the violent clashes between European settlers and Aboriginal Australians, exploring the devastating impact of colonization, frontier warfare, and the long-lasting consequences on Indigenous communities.  
  The second section, New Zealand Wars, examines the series of 19th-century armed conflicts between the British Crown and various Māori iwi (tribes), driven by land disputes, cultural resistance, and the fight for sovereignty.  
  The final section, The Māori and the Pākehā, offers a broader understanding of the cultural and political dynamics between the Māori and the European settlers (Pākehā), exploring themes of adaptation, resistance, and the ongoing struggle for recognition and rights. Together, these three perspectives provide a powerful and nuanced account of colonial conflict and Indigenous resilience, making this book essential reading for those seeking to understand the legacy of colonization in Australia and New Zealand.

  If you're a fan of Alan Doyle, you'll love and appreciate most of the stories in this book as it serves as the backdrop for a tv series that was never meant to be. Vickie Morgan had been making films and public access tv shows for years when a broadcaster trying to spend their sports budget waltzes into St. John's, Newfoundland during the pandemic (properly masked over Zoom calls of course) and offers Vickie the gig of a lifetime. 
  How to Fail at Documentary Filmmaking is a hilarious and poignant story that will give you the courage and compassion necessary to understand the problem probably isn't you.  
  "Wow, Vickie’s determination has to be admired. She'll mow her own path, she's a trooper." 
  ~ Tina Maddigan, author of Written in Stone 
  "How To Fail At Documentary Filmmaking: a novelization of the unfinished docu-series adapted from an idea for a book based on true events." ~ Josh Morgan, lives with Vickie, read the book four times

  Between the Lines -...

  Eric Simonson

  In the spring of 2022, the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company boldly, and perhaps cavalierly, re-emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic with a brand new, 43 million dollar, state-of-the-art theatre. Director Yasen Peyankov insisted he cast the premiere production - a brand new, adaption of The Seagull - with as many Steppenwolf ensemble members as possible. This meant coaxing one non-actor, director and writer Eric Simonson, into coming back to the stage after a 33 year absence. Taking a leap in the dark, and battling the demons of stage-fright, confidence and homesickness, Simonson took up the challenge and started on a journey into the great theatrical unknown. Part diary, part history of the Chicago Theater Renaissance, this memoir takes the reader behind the scenes of a Steppenwolf classic, and inside the head of a man desperate to rediscover the joy and craft of acting.
