Becoming<br />
by Michelle Obama<br />
In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama<br />
has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women<br />
of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America-the first<br />
African-American to serve in that role-she helped create the most<br />
welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also<br />
establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls<br />
in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways<br />
that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing<br />
with her husband as he led America through some of its most<br />
harrowing moments. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection<br />
and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers<br />
into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped<br />
her-from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years<br />
as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work,<br />
to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. Warm,<br />
wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning<br />
of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied<br />
expectations-and whose story inspires us to do the same.<br />
Houses of Aotearoa<br />
by Andrew Patterson<br />
In Maori culture, architecture is approached as a construction<br />
of beliefs: a building must emulate and amplify personalities,<br />
hopes and aspirations, becoming the physical expression of<br />
those who inhabit it. These ideas and others are the inspirations<br />
behind the house projects of New Zealand architect Andrew<br />
Patterson, who has been designing houses and civic projects<br />
in the country for over thirty years and was awarded the New<br />
Zealand Institute of Architects 2017 Gold Medal. This book<br />
showcases seventeen of Patterson’s recent houses, in some of the most dramatic locations in New Zealand,<br />
from stunning seascape retreats to hillside cabins. Each house reveals how Patterson’s architecture responds<br />
to the region’s breathtaking landscapes to tell the story of the country’s cultural history and to create a sense<br />
of place and belonging. This fully illustrated, large-format overview is interspersed with thematic sections that<br />
present Patterson’s key influences and the culture and lifestyles of New Zealand more broadly, particularly<br />
Maori language, history and mythology.<br />
Homebody<br />
A Guide to Creating Spaces you Never Want to Leave<br />
by Joanna Gaines<br />
In Homebody, Joanna Gaines walks you through how to create<br />
a home that reflects the personalities and stories of the people<br />
who live there. Using examples from her own farmhouse as well<br />
as a range of other homes, this comprehensive guide will help<br />
you assess your priorities and instincts, as well as your likes and<br />
dislikes, with practical steps for navigating and embracing your<br />
authentic design style. Room by room, Homebody gives you an<br />
in-depth look at how these styles are implemented as well as how<br />
to blend the looks you’re drawn to in order to create spaces that<br />
feel distinctly yours. A removable design template at the back of<br />
the book offers a step-by-step guide to planning and sketching out<br />
your own design plans. The insight shared in Homebody will instill<br />
in you the confidence to thoughtfully create spaces you never want<br />
to leave.<br />
The Great Cave Rescue<br />
The extraordinary story of the Thai boy soccer team<br />
trapped in a cave for 18 days<br />
by James Massoda<br />
Keen to go exploring after soccer practice, the boys of the Wild Boars<br />
soccer team ignored the sign at the cave entrance warning visitors not<br />
to enter during the monsoon season. What followed was a high-stakes<br />
international mission that very nearly didn’t succeed. The ordeal riveted<br />
millions around the world. First came the awful news that twelve Thai<br />
boys, aged 11 to 17, and their young coach were missing. Then the<br />
flickering video of the huddle of anxious and hungry boys found by a pair<br />
of British divers nine days later. But the most difficult part was yet to come.<br />
Monsoon rains had raised the water level in the cave system, and the<br />
boys were trapped in an air pocket, surrounded by rising muddy water,<br />
over two kilometres from the cave entrance. None of them knew how to<br />
dive. Expert British, Australian, American, Chinese and other international<br />
divers joined the Thai Navy SEALs and hundreds of local volunteers to<br />
mount one of the most risky and complex rescue operations the world<br />
has ever seen. Australian doctor Richard Harris and his dive partner, Craig<br />
