Last night, 9th October 2019, we launched the book with a small party – very short speech – a hundred or more guests and students, hungry for more! In my humble opinion – a really good launch party. Many thanks to my publishers Routledge Taylor and Francis, the book sellers Vic Books Ruby and Sarah, my Taylor and Francis agent Vicki, and of course the Students and Staff at Victoria University of Wellington – and my great students from my 3rd year class especially!
Huge thanks also to my co-authors as well: the great John Sutherland ONZM, my PhD protege Ged Finch, the enigmatic Nabil Jose Allaf, and of course, the fantastic illustrator Lauren Hayes to whom so much of this book owes its (hoped for) success.
