WHAT MAKES WAIHEKE ISLAND SO SPECIAL? We asked local artists, musicians, winemakers, chefs, restaurateurs, historians, kaumātua and more why they are so proud to call this unique island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf home. What results is a loving homage to the island by well-known residents, including John Hawkesby, Andrew Glenn, Dr Selina Tusitala Marsh, Denis O'Connor, Graeme Revell, Amanda Linnell, Clare Dunleavy and Lady Jennie Fenwick, with stunning images by Waiheke photographer Peter Rees that capture the island's spirit, as well as recipes from restaurateurs and locals. The proceeds from The Spirit of Waiheke will go towards supporting children's programmes and events on Waiheke Island. The Waiheke Spirit Children's Charitable Trust, proudly managed by Perpetual Guardian Foundation, will help children on the island who do not have the means required to learn to swim, dance, to become a Sea Scout, play an instrument and many more important life skills so they can reach their full potential and fulfill their dreams.

The compelling vision of religious life and practice found in Hasidic sources has made it the most enduring and successful Jewish movement of spiritual renewal of all time. In this book, Ariel Evan Mayse grapples with one of Hasidism's most vexing questions: how did a religious movement known for its radical views about immanence, revelation, and the imperative to serve God with joy simultaneously produce strict adherence to the structures and obligations of Jewish law? Exploring the movement from its emergence in the mid-1700s until 1815, Mayse argues that the exceptionality of Hasidism lies not in whether its leaders broke or upheld rabbinic norms, but in the movement's vivid attempt to rethink the purpose of Jewish ritual and practice. Rather than focusing on the commandments as law, he turns to the methods and vocabulary of ritual studies as a more productive way to reckon with the contradictions and tensions of this religious movement as well as its remarkable intellectual vitality. Mayse examines the full range of Hasidic texts from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, from homilies and theological treatise to hagiography, letters, and legal writings, reading them together with contemporary theories of ritual. Arguing against the notion that spiritual integrity requires unshackling oneself from tradition, Laws of the Spirit is a sweeping attempt to rethink the meaning and significance of religious practice in early Hasidism.

This book is for readers looking for answers about life in clear easy to understand language explaining why we are the way we are and where we are going. It is for anyone who is just opening up to spirit and for those who have a lot of spiritual and psychic experience, and for everyone in between. It ranges from basic understanding of how communication takes place and by whom. Who can we trust in receiving information? Look within the pages for answers to that. Difficult controversial questions are also answered about subjects such as suicide, abortions, guilt and euthanasia; subjects that not many want to openly discuss. This is your opportunity to explore and decide for yourself how you feel. Communication with planetary beings from other spheres and dimensions have their input into these pages. Predictions as to our future existence are included. Questions are put and answered as to our future on this planet, which we would do well to consider. The angelic realm, spirit guides and celestial beings are introduced through questioning individuals who seek answers. Thought on the animal kingdom is not neglected. Some of you will say I already know all that. This just confirms how much you have grown and advanced. If that applies to you then skip ahead to other subjects. I dont pretend to know all the answers and quite possibly have some wrong. They are meant to encourage debate and discussion. Apathy does not encourage change we may wish for. I know you are not apathetic or you would not be reading this book. What I currently explain and put forth in this book is always subject to change as understanding and knowledge expands. What I believe today may not be how I see things and believe in the future. Also what one doesnt understand today may be understood later on. I have answered the questions exactly as they have been put to me as honestly and as

Remote Luxury: Top Resorts Down Under is the ultimate guide to getting away from it all in Australia and New Zealand. Over the past few decades Australia and its equally spectacular neighbour across the Tasman Sea have established a reputation as two of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the world. This reputation is a result of not only the extraordinarily beautiful and varied landscapes both countries boast but also the inspirational ways in which their architects and designers have used these unique settings to create innovative and memorable places to stay. This beautifully photographed publication takes you on a visual journey through the most remote of these idyllic getaways, from luxurious laidback lodges in the outback to sustainable eco resorts in rainforests and sleek retreats by the sea.
