  "On Sophistical Refutations" is a treatise by Aristotle that explores the nature of fallacious reasoning and how it can be identified and refuted. In this work, Aristotle presents a systematic approach to detecting and exposing errors in argumentation, particularly those that rely on equivocation or ambiguity in language. He examines a variety of sophistical arguments, including those based on language, form, and logical fallacies, and offers practical strategies for detecting and refuting them. Throughout the treatise, Aristotle emphasizes the importance of precise language and clear thinking in avoiding fallacies and arriving at sound conclusions. "On Sophistical Refutations" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in logic, rhetoric, or critical thinking, and has remained a seminal work in the field of philosophy for centuries. Read in English, unabridged.

  In Foundations, Karin Speedy takes us on a whirlwind journey through time and space as she navigates intersecting personal, local, family and global histories, stories that help her reckon with who she is and where she stands in this complicated (post)colonial world. If colonialism, slavery, violence and heartbreak feature heavily in her memoir so too do friendship, love, poetry, books, music, laughter and resistance. Warm, funny, quirky yet also confronting and, at times, shockingly brutal, her childhood and young adult memories bring to life the scenes and sounds of 70s, 80s and 90s New Zealand. At university, Karin's unquenchable thirst for knowledge and social justice see her embark on her first research project, a decolonial study of Louisiana Creole, research that cements her future as an anti-racist, activist scholar. Forever questioning the master narratives, digging deeper and peeling back layers to expose what lies hidden beneath and behind, Karin reminds us that history and trauma are all around us, ingrained in our lives, etched into our landscapes and at the very foundations of our cities and infrastructure. When she begins to examine her own family stories, rooted in colonisation and working-class struggle and embedded in the national histories of Aotearoa and Australia, she uncovers astonishing inter-generational palimpsests and starts to grasp the importance of listening to her ghosts. 
  About the Author

She has published extensively on colonial and decolonial Pacific and Francophone history and literature, as well as on Creole languages, slavery and African and Indian Ocean diasporas in the Pacific. In 2013, she was awarded the John Dunmore Medal for research, recognising her major contribution to knowledge of French language and culture in the Pacific.

  King Josiah - The Untold Story

  The History of Kings is vividly brought to life in this emotionally charged narrative of King Josiah and his contemporaries. Although the major portion of this novel centers upon the life and reign of King Josiah in particular, his grandfather King Manasseh, and father King Amon, are also vividly portrayed in the early chapters of this book to illustrate the conditions under which the child Prince Josiah matured and came of age along with many youthful life adventures and experiences that helped to mold him into the great King and leader of his people that he was. 
  While the Scriptural history of the Kings is honorably held to with nothing sugar-coated or glossed over, much of what history does not tell us is also realistically included in this account, (such as King Manasseh's prison sentence in Assyria), to create a seamlessly flowing storyline, complete with the customs and lifestyle of ancient Judah, the beauty of the land, and many unique surprises and gems of wisdom that you will surely find to be well worth your reading and or listening time. The uncompromising integrity and strength of character that King Josiah displayed during an age of vile corruption is a shining historical legacy that will encourage your faith to stand strong against the many challenges of our modern times.

  Every adoption is rooted in loss. 
   
   
   
  Adoption is often framed by happy narratives, but the reality is that many adoptees struggle with unaddressed trauma and issues of identity and belonging. Adoptees often spend the majority of their youth without the language to explore the grief related to adoption or the permission to legitimize their conflicting emotions. 
   
   
   
  Adoptee and counselor Cameron Lee Small names the realities of the adoptee's journey, narrating his own and other adoptees' stories in all their complexity. He unpacks the history of how adoption has worked and names how the church influenced adoption practices with unintended negative impacts on adoptees' faith. Small's own tumultuous search for and reunion with his mother in Korea inspired him to help other adoptees navigate what it means to carry multiple stories. His adoptee-centered advocacy helps adoptees regain their agency and identity on a journey of integration and healing, with meaningful relationships in all their family systems.
