The official book of the 130th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower, one of the most famous monuments in the world At 1,063 feet (324 meters) high, the Tower is a symbol-of Paris and of France, and of modernity. Since its creation in 1889, the Eiffel Tower has been hailed as a feat of... architectural and engineering prowess, one that still reflects the best of what France has to offer the world. Known in France as the Dame de Fer, or Iron Lady, the Tower is the embodiment of a Parisian woman: seductive and always superbly dressed to impress the 6 million visitors she receives each year. This beautiful two-sided book celebrates the dual identity of the Tower: It opens from one side to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the technical aspects of the monument, and from the other side to show off the star herself, the Tower as an icon of France, an inspiration to artists and designers, a symbol of peace and freedom, and so much more.

Linda Collins gets up on a Monday morning, dresses for work, makes coffee and goes into her daughter Victoria's bedroom. Why hasn't Vicky got up yet? It's an important day: the start of the second term of her final year at school. Today she will hear her latest exam results.
T...he bedroom is empty.
So begins every parent's worst nightmare. Collins, a New Zealand journalist based in Singapore, writes with startling candour about her daughter's suicide: the secrets she kept from her parents, the revelations in the personal journals she left behind, and the struggle of Collins and Malcolm McLeod, Victoria's father, to find answers in the midst of enormous grief.
How, they ask themselves, could they have missed the signs? What did the counsellors at Victoria's school know about her state of mind? Did her school friends have any idea how desperate she was? And above all, why would a beautiful, talented, much loved young woman take her own life?
Loss Adjustment is a wake-up call. New Zealand has the highest suicide rate for teenagers among the world's wealthy developed countries. Most of those who kill themselves are, like Victoria McLeod, aged 15 to 19. Linda Collins examines the tragedy of teenage suicide from her profoundly personal viewpoint, while Victoria's journals, uncovered after her death, give an incredibly valuable insight into the unseen stresses and anxieties suffered by many teenagers.

This 268-page memoir by a retired New Zealand Judge is a collection of 383 jottings of anecdotes, observations, insights, and short case notes providing and absorbing and delightfully written insight into the daily life of a judge in what he describes as ""the largest and busiest... court in the land, a sort of busy Central Railway Station where are all lawbreakers begin their journey, and where most people will have their only courtroom experience."The author, Russell Callander, was a District Court Judge, Chief Justice of Samoa, and a regional Executive Judge. He was also a convenor of the New Zealand Parole Board for 14 years. He received two honours from Queen Elizabeth II: the New Zealand 1990 commemoration medal, and the Queen's Service Order in 2015. During his 35 years on the bench he jotted down anything that amused, annoyed, or interested him. When he retired in 2013 he culled, edited, and organised his large collection. His jottings are a pot pourri of items, some serious, some light-hearted; but all revealing the human fallibilities judges deal with day by day. He has included some delightful cartoons. It is a book that can be read in any order, at any time. Born in 1940, the author is a genuine geriatric!
