Discover a profound account of resilience in "Living With Earthquakes and Their Aftermath," authored by Rosie Belton. This captivating paperback is essential for anyone impacted by natural disasters, particularly the earthquakes that struck Canterbury. With dimensions of 150 x 208 mm and 156 pages of insightful reflections, this book is not just a narrative; it's a lifeline for those navigating life after seismic upheaval. Belton's unique diary-style writing resonates deeply, capturing real-time experiences and emotional truths from the devastating quakes that began in 2010 and continued for years.

“I am reminded of what Harold Nicholson wrote about London during the Blitz: the same uncertainty as to what horror was going to happen next…” – Michael Palin Always an acute observer of people and the environment, in this new book Rosie Belton once again uses her diarist style to capture with intimacy and immediacy the events as they happened around her, in this case the earthquakes experienced by the people of Canterbury. Nothing could have prepared her, she says, for the severity of the quakes, starting with the first one in 2010, and then the ongoing disruption over the next six years: the grinding reality of living through so many months of shaking and the after-effects. Like many creative individuals, Rosie found that writing about those terrible events as they unfolded developed into a coping mechanism. And now, the result of her careful record-keeping and reflections can be read and appreciated by so many others whose lives have been affected by similarly large- scale natural disasters. It also makes excellent reading for anyone with an interest in knowing more about what it can be like to live in a seismically active country. Dedicated to all who face and survive unwanted change, Living with Earthquakes helps us, as well-known author and actor Michael Palin said after reading Rosie’s writings, ‘to comprehend the incomprehensible, conveying the mixture of bewilderment, hope and desperation very effectively’.

Emotional support
Size: Large, Color: Octopus - Multi Color
Greatest toy ever! My dog is in love! This is like her emotional support toy. She sleeps with it and chews on it throughout the day. The only issue is the seams break open and the stuffing pops out after awhile. I just grab needle and thread and sew it back closed. Washes well too.

It lasted over a week- amazing for the fogzilla!
Size: Large, Color: Monkey - Green
There is no dog toy that can survive big puppies with strong jaws and sharp teeth, but the squeaker lasted a week and the arms/ legs are still intact. She's still playing with it, so I'm impressed.

Dye comes off. Stained hands and dog fur.
Size: Large, Color: Octopus - Multi Color, Size: Large, Color: Octopus - Multi Color
Literally dyed my hand and my dogs fur blue from the paint coming off immediately after opening the box. I have washed my hand multiple times and it’s still this color. I have given up on my dog’s fur. I’m assuming whatever it was wasn’t great for her to digest.
