  ***NEW ZEALAND’S LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE*** 
  Two New Zealand Classics—now available with an introduction by Amberley Ember. 
  The year is 1865. 34-year-old Annie, freshly married, sets sail for New Zealand where she will serve as a helpmeet for her second husband, Fred. They live in Christchurch until they can build their house in the sheep-farming Canterbury High Country. Soon, Lady Annie Barker is tending to dogs and chickens, learning how to boil potatoes and galloping side-saddle on her horse through the fresh, miasma-free air. Just when the newlyweds begin to feel settled, they are caught in a great snowstorm, and swindled in a land deal. 
  This is two books in one: Station Life in New Zealand (1870) and Station Amusements (1873).

  Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How...

  In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. "Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad" exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons. 
  Laugh out loud as we dissect Rousseau's greatest contradictions: his fetishization of indigenous cultures (without meeting any actual indigenous people), his belief that society corrupts natural goodness (while engaging in deeply unnatural bedroom activities), and his conviction that he alone understood true freedom (while being pathologically dependent on others for basic survival). 
  This savagely irreverent guide reveals how a paranoid, chronically constipated Swiss misanthrope somehow managed to inspire both democracy AND totalitarianism between bouts of accusing everyone he met of conspiring against him. With brutal honesty and razor-sharp wit, we explore how Rousseau's complete disaster of a personal life somehow produced philosophical insights that still haunt us today—especially when we complain about technology ruining society while scrolling through social media. 
  Perfect for philosophy students in desperate need of comic relief, or anyone who enjoys watching narcissistic geniuses get thoroughly eviscerated. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable laughter and concerned looks from serious academics.

  A bestselling author offers a refreshingly honest, compassionate guide to the sh!tstorm that is divorce: falling apart, staying afloat, and new beginnings (whether you are ready for them or not). After 12 years together, 2 children, 10 pets, and 5 properties, Dawn and her partner decided to call it quits. In the newest installment of her bestselling Sh!t No One Tells You series, Dawn tries to figure out what happened… and what happens next.  Dawn takes you on her own bumpy, meandering, and often absurd journey through the destruction of a life exploded by divorce. She dodges legal hurdles, irrational decisions, alarmed therapists, random hobbies, and a concerning number of dating app profiles that look like the beginning of a true crime podcast. But somehow, she found herself stronger—and happier—on the other side.   Leaning into the mess, Dawn helps you learn the art of embracing Netflix and cry, the healing power of profanity, the importance of assembling the right support squad, how to survive the sh!tshow of co-parenting, and much more. Joined by an insightful chorus of divorced friends, Dawn delivers a true-to-life and funnier-than-it-should-be guide to discovering the unexpected value in the wreckage. What if divorce isn’t just a loss—but an opportunity?
