  The history and use of New Zealand's native plants 
    
  A guide and gift book in equal measure, this treasure of a book pays homage to New Zealand's native plant species. 
  The Meaning of Trees tells the story of plants and people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Beautifully illustrated with botanical drawings, paintings and photographs, it shows us how a globally unique flora has been used for food, medicine, shelter, spirituality and science. From Jurassic giants to botanical oddballs - these are our wonderful native and endemic plants, in an exquisite hardback edition. 
  Praise for The Meaning of Trees: 
  'Robert Vennell makes wandering through our bush seem like a visit to a giant shopping centre. Over there is the kawakawa store, offering everything from an aphrodisiac to a gonorrhoea cure. Next door is the tutu cafe, where you can enjoy delicious wine or a refreshing laxative (though the seeds are deadly). On the top floor is the matai bar, where the berries aren't to everyone's taste, but the bushman's beer is great. And round the corner is the miro health centre. Every plant has a story and the result is delightfully informative.'

  "Life The Goal" by Jiddu Krishnamurti is a profound exploration of the human condition and the quest for meaning and fulfillment. In this book, Krishnamurti delves into the fundamental questions that have perplexed humanity for centuries: What is the purpose of life? What is the nature of truth? How can one find lasting happiness and freedom? 
  Krishnamurti argues that man is like a cloud, hurried along by the winds of life without a fixed purpose or understanding of life's meaning. He emphasizes the importance of embracing all experiences, both pleasant and painful, as essential for a full and meaningful life. Through introspection and self-discovery, Krishnamurti proposes that the ultimate goal of life is the liberation of the self from all desires, experiences, sorrows, and struggles. 
  Central to Krishnamurti's teachings is the concept of Truth as the eternal goal, transcending the limitations imposed by beliefs, religions, and ideologies. He challenges the reader to cultivate a deep understanding of life, free from external authority and dogma, and to embrace doubt as a crucial tool for uncovering essential truths. 
  "Life The Goal" offers a thought-provoking and transformative journey toward self-awareness, freedom, and genuine fulfillment. It invites readers to reevaluate their beliefs, question societal norms, and embark on a path of inner exploration and enlightenment.

  In a world saturated with digital imagery and instantaneous gratification, our collective obsession with explicit media has never been more powerful—or more misunderstood. This book takes you on an illuminating journey into the heart of that fascination, challenging readers to look beyond the glossy veneer of online fantasies and examine the deeper forces at play. Drawing on cutting-edge research, personal anecdotes, and cultural analysis, it delves into the psychological, social, and ethical dimensions of porn's allure, revealing how it both mirrors and molds our attitudes toward desire, intimacy, and self-worth. 
  From exploring the evolutionary roots of sexual curiosity to dissecting the modern impact of virtual reality and AI-generated content, the chapters highlight the complex interplay between fantasy and reality.

Through balanced perspectives and practical insights, this book offers guidance for navigating the blurred lines between healthy curiosity and compulsive behavior, ultimately advocating for a more mindful, compassionate understanding of sexuality. 
  Whether you're seeking to deepen your self-awareness, improve communication in your relationships, or engage in meaningful cultural dialogue, this book provides a roadmap for harnessing the creative potential of fantasy while embracing the rich, imperfect authenticity of human connection.
