The Logans: New Zealand's Greatest Boatbuilding Family

by Robin Elliott, Harold Kidd, Barry Linton (Illustrator)

Soft cover, large landscape format. Illustrated, 132 pages. 2001

Excellent condition

A rare insight into this complex family of Scottish origin, its brilliant individuals and to the times when they were turning out the very best yachts and launches in the Southern hemisphere. Details of every known Logan vessel.

Since the 1880s yachts and launches from the yards and sheds of the Logan family have always stood out as shining examples of the designer's and builder's art. Contemporary reports would invariably describe these boats has having the Logan 'style' or 'finish', immediately marking them as something special.

Their racing yachts became champions and their cruisers and launches performed well above their owners' expectations giving the Logan name a mystique and pedigree that is still highly valued today.

Cherry from Hamilton Lake

Hi I am a Feijoa lover but on a benefit so can't afford the supermarket prices. If anyone is happy for me to either collect from under the trees or just wants to be rid of theirs let me know I am happy to pick up at anytime right through the season.

Beer & Philosophy: The Unexamined Beer Isn't Worth Drinking
Steven D. Hales (Editor), Foreword by Michael C. Jackson

Paperback, 233 pages with index.

2007. Excellent condition

A beer-lovers' book which playfully examines a myriad of philosophical concerns related to beer consumption. Effectively demonstrates how real philosophical issues exist just below the surface of our everyday activities

Divided into four sections:

The Art of the Beer; The Ethics of Beer: Pleasures, Freedom, and Character; The Metaphysics and Epistemology of Beer; and Beer in the History of Philosophy

Uses the context of beer to expose George Berkeley’s views on fermented beverages as a medical cure; to inspect Immanuel Kant’s transcendental idealism through beer goggles, and to sort out Friedrich Nietzsche’s simultaneous praise and condemnation of intoxication

Written for beer-lovers who want to think while they drink.

Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
