You may recall the book we released last year called "What's Going On In There?" by Kathryn Berkett about the neuroscience of the teenage brains, and the massive changes going on in a teenager's brain during this period of development.

If you'd like to know what's happening with your younger children's brains, Kathryn talks with Melissa Chan-Green on her popular School Shorts podcast. Well worth a listen on this fascinating topic!

Our warmest congratulations to everyone involved with the NZ Federation of Women's Institutes on the publication of "Women, Home & Country".

This book marks the centenary of the New Zealand Federation of Women’s Institutes, celebrating 100 years of friendship, service and community across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Richly illustrated with archival material, contemporary photography and personal reflections, this beautifully produced hardback traces the story of the organisation from its rural beginnings in 1921 to its nationwide presence today. It captures the spirit of the Federation and the vital role its members have played in supporting families, strengthening communities and contributing to New Zealand life over generations.

Our small, passionate team at Mary Egan Publishing is proud to have worked on "Women, Home & Country" as a commissioned publishing project.

We're so excited to have Grant Baker's memoir out in stores this week!

In "No Pit Stops: The Business of Going All In", NZ serial entrepreneur Grant Baker recounts his highs and lows – from teenage exploits and early career lessons, to navigating a cancer diagnosis and financial crises, spearheading iconic brands like 42 Below, Ecoya, Trilogy and Turners, and supporting one of our country’s greatest racing exports.

It's a fast-paced, insightful read for people who are ambitious, in business and in life.

Grant wants people to have a sense of what can be done if they approach things in the right way. “The attitude it takes. It’s about being positive, looking forward for possibilities and opportunities, and being ambitious. Amidst a lot of negativity, it’s intended as a positive story of trying hard. Failing and trying again. And how good things can come when you keep going.”
