An evocative memoir about the emergence of a pre - eminent writer in a changing world. 'What I have to tell is largely a personal narrative about how I came to inhabit a fictional world' This absorbing memoir explores the first half of writer Fiona Kidman's life, notably in Kerikeri amid the 'sharp citric scent of orange groves, bright heat and ... the shadow of Asia' - at the end of Darwin Road. From the distance of France, where Kidman spent time as the Katherine Mansfield Fellow in Menton, she reconsiders the past, weaving personal reflection and experience with the history of the places where she lived, particularly the fascinating northern settlements of Kerikeri and Waipu, and further south the cities of Rotorua and Wellington. Her story crosses paths with those of numerous different New Zealanders, from the Tuhoe prophet Rua Kenana, to descendants of the migration from Scotland led by a charismatic Presbyterian minister, to other writers and significant friends. We learn of Kidman's struggles to establish herself as a writer and to become part of different communities, and how each worked their way into her fiction. At the End of Darwin Road is a vivid memoir of place and family, and of becoming a writer: 'I was certain that ... I would continue to write, if possible, every day of my life.'

Think of it as the most significant social story of our time: We are witnessing the arrival of a whole new stage of life. Today we're seeing people reach what used to be the ''age of retirement'' and convert it into the ''age of possibilities.'' The authors call it ''Life Reimagined.'' What those two words suggest is a new stage of life and-perhaps more importantly - a new way of thinking about life and living. At its core, Life Reimagined calls on each of us to engage life with a profound sense of what is possible, what is desirable, and what is personally meaningful. One of the profound truths that under lies Life Reimagined is the liberating notion that ''each of us is an experiment of one'': in other words, each of us is free to find our own way forward on this journey of discovery. But another truth is that there is a set of six practices-ways of engaging with Life Reimagined-that can help each of us find that way forward. The six practices are: Reflect, Connect, Explore, Choose, Repack, and, Act. Life Reimagined offers the opportunity for each of us to grow - not just older, but grow more whole, more healthy, and more uniquely ourselves.
When facing important professional problems, practitioners regularly respond with the latest gimmick, or by throwing everything and anything at the problem. In contrast, scholars regularly slice problems into small segments to study and explain them, without directly addressing the practical problem itself. Both approaches miss the target of sound theory and practice. Most theory development methodologies are incomplete, inappropriate, or totally overwhelming. This book presents a complete, five - stop methodology for developing sound theory that can be employed with any applied discipline - it is not discipline - specific. This methodology engages input from practitioners and scholars. By fusing them, a complete and accurate understanding of the phenomena being investigated results an understanding that meets the standards of both scholarship and practice.
