More Than Meets the Eye
Frederick William Adams battled his whole life with a severe sight disability, and people who did not want to see him achieve his dreams, to be one of the best wrestlers New Zealand has ever had. In an era where wrestling enjoyed unwavering popularity, Bill wrestled his way to the top of the pile in an exceptionally long-lasting and eventful sporting career which included winning the national title in the highly contested lightweight division nine times, beating a heavy weight on more than one occasion, competing in a national championship aged 61 and being selected for the biggest sporting event New Zealand had ever seen - the 1950 Empire Games in Auckland - only to be dropped amid allegations and controversy.
Birth of a New Brain
After the birth of her baby triggers a manic maelstrom, Dyane Harwood struggles to survive the bewildering highs and crippling lows of her brain’s turmoil.

From medications to electroconvulsive therapy, from “redwood forest baths” to bibliotherapy, she explored both traditional and unconventional methods of recovery—in-between harrowing psychiatric hospitalizations. Harwood reveals how she ultimately achieved a stable mood. She discovered that despite having a chronic mood disorder, a new, richer life is possible. Birth of a New Brain is the chronicle of one mother’s perseverance, offering hope and grounded advice for those battling mental illness.
