    The first book to celebrate the miniature-scale model The Panorama of the City of New York.
    An awe-inspiring metropolis in miniature, The Panorama of the City of New York has achieved cult-like status with New Yorkers and serves as a locus of memory for visitors from around the globe. This is the first book to fully celebrate The Panorama, featuring accessible text and photographs of its conception, creation, and enjoyment.
    The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the 1964–65 World's Fair, with millions enjoying what was billed as an indoor helicopter tour of New York. Comprising an area of 9,335 square feet and built to a scale of 1:1200 (where one inch equals 100 feet), the original 1964 mini city was updated multiple times before its last renovation in 1992. Within the 320 square miles of New York City represented on The Panorama, you can find 850,000 buildings, more than 100 bridges, and almost all of the city's parks and streets.
    Now part of the permanent exhibition at the Queens Museum, the Panorama brings the magic of New York to life to thousands of visitors each year.

    The Danish concept of hygge is a wonderful thing. Even if most fail miserably when they try to pronounce or explain its true essence. Unless you’re a Viking of course. 
    As Keri stood in the departure lounge of Auckland International Airport with her four-month-old baby, searching for her flight on the board, hygge wasn’t on her radar. In hindsight she agrees it probably should have been. 
    But she’d never imagined a chance encounter with a Dane in a crowded bar in her home city of Wellington would lead her here, a mother, about to circle the globe, with no knowledge of when she'd return home. 
    Eighteen thousand kilometres away a new life awaited her in Denmark. A country where babies sleep outside, the word for bread is seemingly impossible to pronounce and a country in which immigration challenges abound. 
    A witty observer of cultural nuances, Keri reveals the day-to-day realities of a New Zealander living her best life in Denmark. From integration interrogations to rye bread misdemeanors, Nothing Like a Dane provides a humorous and heartfelt insight into creating a new life in a faraway land. 
    And what did she learn? That it’s not all hygge and pastries. Even in Denmark.

    The history of early Indian empires is a fascinating story of conquest, governance, and cultural transformation. Over centuries, three powerful dynasties—the Maurya, Satavahana, and Gupta Empires—laid the foundations of Indian civilization, shaping its political, economic, and social structures.  
    The Maurya Empire, established by Chandragupta Maurya, was the first large-scale empire to unify much of the Indian subcontinent, creating a highly organized administrative system.  
    Under Ashoka, the empire saw a shift from military expansion to the promotion of Buddhism and moral governance. Following the Mauryas, the Satavahana Empire emerged as a vital force in the Deccan, maintaining stability through a blend of military strength and trade dominance. They controlled key routes linking northern and southern India, facilitating cultural and commercial exchanges.  
    Later, the Gupta Empire brought about a golden age of Indian history, marked by advancements in science, mathematics, literature, and the arts. Their reign saw the revival of Hindu traditions alongside continued Buddhist and Jain influences. Together, these three empires set the stage for India’s rich historical and cultural legacy, influencing the region for centuries to come.
