CONGRATULATIONS to<br />
those volunteer firefighters<br />
who raised money for a great<br />
cause during the annual<br />
Sky Tower stair challenge in<br />
Auckland (see pages 4-5) at<br />
the weekend.<br />
More than $30,000 was<br />
raised by crews for the<br />
Leukemia and Blood Cancer<br />
Foundation. Firefighters had<br />
to carry 25kg of kit up 51<br />
flights of stairs (1103 steps),<br />
competing against crews from<br />
across New Zealand.<br />
That means having incredibly<br />
strong legs, huge stamina<br />
and great lungs – just the sort<br />
of qualities firefighters need in<br />
life and death situations.<br />
And congratulations also to<br />
the Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> ladies (page<br />
9) for their outstanding form<br />
again this season in the Boyle<br />
Cup.<br />
Their latest match saw a 3-2<br />
win over Everglades.<br />

Noise<br />
by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony,<br />
Cass R. Sunstein<br />
From the world-leaders in strategic thinking and the multimillion<br />
copy bestselling authors of Thinking Fast and Slow<br />
and Nudge, the next big book to change the way you think.<br />
Wherever there is human judgment, there is noise.<br />
Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different<br />
diagnoses to identical patients – or that two judges in the<br />
same court give different sentences to people who have committed<br />
matching crimes. Now imagine that the same doctor and the same judge<br />
make different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday<br />
rather than Wednesday, or they haven’t yet had lunch. These are examples of noise:<br />
variability in judgments that should be identical.<br />
In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein show how noise<br />
produces errors in many fields, including in medicine, law, public health, economic<br />
forecasting, forensic science, child protection, creative strategy, performance review and<br />
hiring. And although noise can be found wherever people are making judgments and<br />
decisions, individuals and organizations alike commonly ignore its impact, at great cost.<br />
Unsheltered<br />
by Clare Moleta<br />
As the resourceful, relentless Li tracks her lost daughter across a disintegrating country,<br />
the journey will test the limits of her trust, her hope and her love. Unsheltered will leave<br />
you wrung out and gasping.<br />
Relentlessly propulsive and profoundly moving, Unsheltered taps into some of our worst<br />
fears and most implacable motivations, marking the emergence of a fully-formed and<br />
urgent literary voice.<br />
Against a background of social breakdown and destructive weather, Unsheltered tells the<br />
story of a woman’s search for her daughter. Li never wanted to bring a child into a world<br />
like this but now that eight-year-old Matti is missing, she will stop at nothing to find her.<br />
As she crosses the great barren country alone and on foot, living on what she can find<br />
and fuelled by visions of her daughter just out of sight ahead, Li will have every instinct<br />
tested. She knows the odds against her: an uncompromising landscape, an indifferent<br />
system, time running out, and the risks of any encounters on the road. But the greatest<br />
obstacles of all might be her own uncertainty and the ghosts of her past. Because even if<br />
she finds her, how can she hope to shield Matti from what is to come?<br />
