The Piketty Phenomenon
Few books have had the global impact of Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century. An overnight bestseller, Piketty’s assessment that inherited wealth will always grow faster, on average, than earned wealth has energised debate. Hailed as ‘bigger than Marx’ (The Economist) or dismissed as ‘medieval’ (Wall Street Journal), the book is widely acknowledged as having significant economic and political implications. Collected in this BWB Text are responses to this phenomenon from a diverse range of New Zealand economists and commentators. These voices speak independently to the relevance of Piketty’s conclusions. Is New Zealand faced with a one-way future of rising inequality? Does redistribution need to focus more on wealth, rather than just income? Was the post-war Great Convergence merely an aberration and is our society doomed to regress into a new Gilded Age?
Mullingar
Mullingar : time goes by is the culmination of decades of work undertaken by local photographer and Galway-native, Matt Nolan. Featuring thousands of faces across 240 pages, the collector's item contains a treasure-trove of images, going back to the 1960s as well as hundreds of snippets of biographical information relating either to his subjects, or to the occasion on which the photograph was taken and a fascinating written history of Mullingar town from its foundation almost one thousand years ago.

Confessions of an (ex) NSA Spy
Literary agents have told me that there are shelves and shelves of books of this nature that are not selling (in other words, "get lost"). However, this book differs greatly from any other book on terrorism on this planet. This is the only book you will find that ties the modern Jihad with the origins of Islam and with Islamic prophecies of the "Last Days," and with the decline and perceived decline of the West, and all of that linked to the Islamic concepts of cycles of history and Islamic concepts of the West as "Rome," and the Soviet Union as "Persia." This is also the only book that offers both near term and long term effective solutions for the problem of Islamic terrorism.Consequently this book is not some 200 page hardback that you pay $28.00 for and get an in depth discussion of only a fraction of the issues discussed in this book. I felt that in order to fully understand how Islamic prophecies are applied by groups like ISIS (and/or whatever group might succeed them), readers needed to have an understanding of all the other interlocking issues. All the dots need to be connected. That is why this book weighs in at over 200,000 words.
The Sparrow Garden
With his classic Immigrant Chronicle, Peter Skrzynecki harnessed the universal language of poetry. Now, in his powerful memoir The Sparrow Garden, he travels from the Displaced Persons camps of Germany to the suburban battlegrounds of outer Sydney and taunts of “reffo” and “dago”. In unforgettable style, he leads us on a bracing rollercoaster of emotions and boyhood adventures. The Sparrow Garden is also the deeply personal story of one man’s complex, loving relationship with his parents.
Mr. 60%
Witty, honest, and wholly captivating, Mr. 60% is a perfect read for fans of The Spectacular Now and Where Things Come Back.

His vice principal is counting down the days until Mr. 60% (aka Matt) finally flunks out and is no longer his problem. What no one knows is the only reason Matt sells drugs is to take care of his uncle Jack, who is dying of cancer. Meet Amanda. The overly cheerful social outcast whose optimism makes Matt want to hurl. Stuck as partners during an after-school club (mandatory for Matt), it’s only a matter of time until Amanda discovers Matt’s secret. But Amanda is used to dealing with heartbreak, and she’s determined to help Matt find a way to give life 100 percent.
