Roman Coins and Their Values
The third volume of the fully revised and expanded general catalogue of Roman coins extends coverage of the Imperial series from the accession of Maximinus I in AD 235 down to the assassination of Carinus and the accession of Diocletian half a century later. This turbulent period, during which the Empire came close to total collapse and disintegration, witnessed great changes in the Imperial coinage including unprecedented debasement and the beginning of the decentralization of the mint system.

Henrietta's Dream
Like all mothers, Henrietta had imagined a bright and normal future for her children - but this particular joy was not to be. Her first son, Henry, was born quadriplegic and it was assumed that he was severely brain-damaged. Four years later, after reassurances that a healthy second child was possible, Freddie arrived with critical internal malformation. On top of this it later emerged that he was also autistic and hyperactive, unable to walk or talk. For Henrietta, the last 15 years have been an exhausting, tumultuous time of highs and lows, triumphant achievements and bitter blows, through which she has been sustained by an extraordinarily resilient fighting spirit, and the unwavering vision that one day her eldest son at least will achieve full health. This truly inspirational story follows her amazing quest for a better life for her sons, as she has learned to believe in the impossible, strive against the odds and dig deep into resources she never knew she had. Facing some of life's toughest challenges - and with a cure for Henry in sight - Henrietta's Dream is an extraordinary testament to the power of a mother's love.
The New Zealand Cross
The New Zealand Cross There has been no comprehensive history of the award published in one place. Dr. Kieran explores the development of the creation and inauguration of the award, a listing of all the recipients and an outline of the New Zealand Wars from 1860 to 1872. The Victoria Cross and other decorations were being awarded to Imperial troops but the settlers in the Volunteers and Militia were not being recognised for carrying out similar acts of bravery. The recognition of acts worthy of the NZC were anticipated to become well known; however, the awards spand a period to 1910 and thus the impact of the bravery leading to an award of the NZC was not achieved. Personalities like King Tawhiao, Sir George Bowen, Sir George Grey, Lt. General Cameron, Te Kooti, Titokowaru, and Major General Whitmore were involved in the conflict. A major issue leading to battles arose due to land confiscation by the settlers. The battles were mainly restricted to the North Island; Taranaki and Wanganui on the West Coast, Waikato in the Central area and on the East Coast at, Gisborne, Napier, Tauranga, and the Urewera.
