Serving Te Tairāwhiti with a dedicated team of 60, Tūranga Health works tirelessly to achieve Mauri Ora through holistic care for Ngāi Tāmanuhiri, Rongowhakaata, and Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki. 
    This audiobook takes you on a journey of resilience, aroha, and community-led health care during one of the most challenging times in recent history—the COVID-19 pandemic. Hear how Tūranga Health stepped up, providing influenza vaccinations, hygiene kits, kai packs, COVID-19 testing, and administering over 20,900 vaccinations to protect whānau. Learn how they distributed over 750,000 RAT tests and offered supported isolation services, all while embodying the values of responsiveness, whānau-centered care, and resourcefulness. 
    Through flexibility, quick action, and deep-rooted trust, Tūranga Health collaborated with whānau and services across the region, overcoming challenges like restrictive policies, healthcare barriers, and workforce shortages. The story reveals the high-trust, values-based leadership that enabled staff to embody mahi aroha—love and care for whānau—by adapting roles, upskilling, and committing tirelessly to their community. 
    From drive-through vaccinations to manaaki like kai, entertainment, and koha, Tūranga Health made health care accessible and supportive, focusing on the most vulnerable. Their experience highlights the importance of local knowledge, innovation, and community-led solutions. In future pandemics, this audiobook argues, the expertise of Māori Health Providers must be recognized and empowered to innovate. 
    This is the inspiring story of Tūranga Health—a testament to resilience, innovation, and the power of whānau. Join us on this journey of aroha and commitment to the wellbeing of future generations as we navigate the path to Mauri Ora.

    In his groundbreaking book Predictions, Theodore Modis showed readers a fascinating new way to understand our society and ourselves by applying fundamental scientific concepts to predicting social phenomena.  Now he pushes his physics-applied-to-life approach further to show that some fundamental truths cast into scientific laws are ubiquitous and enter our lives in subtle ways that we may not be aware of.  In a kind of twenty-first century version of Plato's Dialogues he offers new insights on life's many possibilities and ambiguities everywhere from managing business and personal relationships to finding purpose in one's existence. 
    
    This book will titillate the mind of all science-friendly readers.

    The author of The Bundy Murders shares unprecedented access to official case files in the investigations to apprehend the infamous serial killer.   In the 1970s, as Ted Bundy spread terror across the United States, law enforcement agencies from the Pacific Northwest to the Rocky Mountains to Florida attempted to put an end to his depraved killing spree. In The Bundy Secrets, true crime author and Bundy expert Kevin M. Sullivan provides a revealing chronicle of these police investigations through the original case files, shown to the reader just as they appeared to detectives themselves.   The third volume in Sullivan’s Bundy Trilogy, this book presents a “just the facts” chronology of formerly classified documents detailing the nationwide manhunt for America’s most infamous serial killer. It also includes contemporary interviews gathered by Sullivan from dozens of sources along Bundy’s trail of terror. The Bundy Secrets is an essential collection of primary source documents for true crime students of Ted Bundy.
