On Friday 27 November, two contributors to Public Address, Emma Hart (who writes the "Up Front" column) and David Haywood (who writes the "Southerly" column), released their new books in style at the appropriately named Grand Hall in the New Zealand Parliament Buildings.
Emma's book, "Not Safe For Work", is "a collection of essays on sex, sexuality, girl-geekery and the internet, lightly sprinkled with humour and marinated in biting sarcasm."
David's book, "The New Zealand Reserve Bank Annual 2010", "sets out to explain 'the dismal science' [economics] in a way that kids between the ages of four and six can really understand. It answers all the hard questions: What is counting? What is money? Why is it wrong to be poor? Why are rich people so alluring and wonderful?"
