The best of NZ Noir. Something to get my teeth into. Something I wasn’t altogether sure I could do. Hell, it was about time I had something hard-hitting, out of the ordinary. Rebecca Thorne needs a story that will earn her the reputation of a skilled and significant television journalist. The questions around the Connor Bligh case promise exactly that. Is he the vicious murderer of his family or is he serving life in prison for a crime he did not commit? Rebecca pulls strings to persuade him to tell his story. Already she is in too deep and, as she delves further into the case and into Connor’s personal history, her fascination with him intensifies. “Sounds like a good enough deal,” he said, “You get famous. I get out.” Can she free the man she is convinced is innocent? And, more importantly, should she?
A beautifully illustrated visual and cultural history of the color red throughout the ages The color red has represented many things, from the life force and the divine to love, lust, and anger. Up through the Middle Ages, red held a place of privilege in the Western world. For many cultures, red was not just one color of many but rather the only color worthy enough to be used for social purposes. In some languages, the word for red was the same as the word for color. The first color developed for painting and dying, red became associated in antiquity with war, wealth, and power. In the medieval period, red held both religious significance, as the color of the blood of Christ and the fires of Hell, and secular meaning, as a symbol of love, glory, and beauty. Yet during the Protestant Reformation, red began to decline in status. Viewed as indecent and immoral and linked to luxury and the excesses of the Catholic Church, red fell out of favor. After the French Revolution, red gained new respect as the color of progressive movements and radical left-wing politics. In this beautifully illustrated book, Michel Pastoureau, the acclaimed author of Blue, Black, and Green, now masterfully navigates centuries of symbolism and complex meanings to present the fascinating and sometimes controversial history of the color red. Pastoureau illuminates red's evolution through a diverse selection of captivating images, including the cave paintings of Lascaux, the works of Renaissance masters, and the modern paintings and stained glass of Mark Rothko and Josef Albers.

Since the first scientific excavations were conducted at Jenn-jeno in 1977, this huge Iron Age occupation mound located in the floodplain of the Inland Niger Delta has produced a classic archaeological sequence spanning 1500 years. Jenn-jeno is widely recognized as one of the most carefully documented cases demonstrating the rise of indigenous urbanism in Africa, and its archaeology has contributed significantly to a major paradigm shift in explanations for the rise of complex societies in sub-Saharan Africa. This monograph presents the results of the excavations conducted in 1980-81 at this site and at two others within the extensive mound complex of which Jenn-jeno is a part.
