Book Description
New Zealand's history is peppered with mysterious tales of otherworldly beings, strange sightings, inexplicable disappearances and unusual crimes. While some of these stories have been handed down through generations, many of them hail from more recent times. The one thing they all have in common is that they have all endured despite repeated attempts to solve or explain them. In this book, Scott Bainbridge turns his investigative skills towards some of the best-known of these mysteries, like the ghosts of Wellington's St James Theatre, the sightings of large cats throughout Canterbury and the appearance of otherworldly lights over Kaikoura. He also looks into some less known but equally intriguing puzzles, including the disappearance of a British naval officer during the Cold War, the origins of unusual crop circles near Ngatea and the vanishing of everyone on board the MV Joyita. Bainbridge does not set out to solve these mysteries, but instead considers the evidence, while leaving readers to form their own opinions.

Book Description
"At first, Alexa Glock's first case as a traveling forensic investigator seems straightforward-her expertise in teeth helps her identify the skeletal remains of a hunter found on the remote Stewart Island in New Zealand. But when she realizes the bullet lodged in his skull was not self-inflicted and a second, shark-ravaged body washes up on Ringaringa Beach, it's clear that something is off. The disturbing sight confirms what locals have hashed out in the pub: shark cage-diving, lucrative for owners and popular with tourists, has changed the great white sharks' behavior, turning them into man eaters. Tensions between cagers and locals mount as Alexa dives into the harrowing case. And while measuring bite patterns, she makes a shocking discovery that just might lead her to the man responsible for both murders"--

Book Description
Kelly and Steve quit the Silicon Valley rat race, and move to New Zealand. There, in a small beachside community they live their dream. Living in the sub-tropical North on a mile-long sandy beach life is wonderful. They swim, fish, golf, enjoy a large garden and a big sloppy dog. Relaxed and happy the months roll by. One day Kelly returns from a two-week trip, to find the house is empty. No Steve. No dog. No message or explanation. When he doesn't return for several days, friends and acquaintances search frantically. Eventually, the police mount a country-wide search, but he is nowhere to be found. Finally, everyone concludes Kelly has joined the ranks of the deserted wives. Embarrassed and aggravated by the pitying looks, she is still convinced Steve would not have left without a word. Unhappy and alone, she continues to search until she has exhausted every last possibility, A Californian friend of Steve's, who had visited during her absence, reminds her that Steve had come up with the preposterous theory that a middle-aged woman living on their bay was getting away with multiple murders. Aware that this was idle speculation on Steve's part, Kelly had laughed at the ludicrous notion. Now, however, skeptical but desperate to find him, she decides to follow the steps he would have taken to prove his theory. Hitting a dead end, she comes up with a theory of her own. One that leads her in an unexpected direction and into extreme danger.

Book Description
Despite a history of hundreds of years of research analysing aspects of English grammar, there are still open problems which continue to baffle language researchers today. Such ‘grammar mysteries’ arise for a number of reasons: because the language is changing; because different speakers of the language adhere to distinct norms and thus introduce and maintain variation in the system; because there are differences between the grammar of spoken and written English. This book illuminates some of the complexities of the subject, the areas where new discoveries await and why it matters. Through a series of accessible and engaging case studies on various aspects of grammar, from multiple negation to possession, the authors present grammar as an intellectual challenge. This book brings out into the open questions about language usage to which we still do not have good answers in a bid to make variation overt and to revel in the mystery of the English language. Both aimed at the interested general reader and the beginning student of English language and linguistics, this is a fresh take on grammar.
