Victory

The definitive account of the New Zealand air crews' heroic and often deadly role in the dramatic and dangerous invasion of Europe in 1944 to the fall of Berlin the folliwng year. 'Just another name, another place, another time for dying.' From hunting U-boats over the heaving waters of the cold Atlantic to dropping supplies for the Resistance and towing the gliders carrying paratroopers and weapons at Normandy, Arnhem and the Rhine crossing, the New Zealand airmen who fought with the RAF played an extraordinary role in the final chapters of World War II. In Victory, bestselling author Max Lambert shares the vivid, inspiring and previously unpublished stories of those young fliers - some still teenagers - who lived and died in the service of their country during the invasion of Normandy in 1944. Commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the beginning of the end of the war, Victory is both a thrilling account of courage and sacrifice, and a moving tribute to a passing generation of true heroes.

Urban Biodiversity and Equity

This advanced textbook moves beyond a basic scientific comprehension of urban ecosystems to understand the essential details of how scientists, policy makers, and practitioners develop solutions to effectively manage urban biodiversity.

However, key to an understanding of these processes is also recognizing the tremendous social variation inherent within and across urban areas. The diversity of urban human communities fundamentally shapes how society desi...

As I mention in the prologue of the book, a man who was my mentor once said to me. Tommy the easiest thing in the world to do is make a buck. You can shine shoes, deliver news papers, stack groceries and many other mundane things. But the hardest thing in this world to do is make a buck doing what you love to do. Hence the title of this book. I have been lucky enough to be able to make a buck doing what I loved to do in four careers. First, being in World War II. Second, performing in show business and being involved in the beginning of Television. Third, creating music for the advertising business and fourth, retiring and enjoying the sights in this big beautiful world of ours. By remembering many of the amusing things that happened and be able to pass them on to you readers, fulfills my purpose in writing this autobiography.
