Embrace the Challenge: Story of Kiwi No. 8 Wire Innovation is Barrie Carruthers’ lively autobiography charting how a resourceful New Zealander turned farmyard odds-and-ends into world-beating inventions. Told with the humour and humility of a true Kiwi, the book celebrates the tinkering spirit that keeps old machinery—and dreams—running well past their use-by date.
This 2013 illustrated paperback is in very good, smoke-free shape: pages are crisp, binding tight, and the author’s bold signature graces the inside front cover. Young adults and adults alike will enjoy the mix of memoir, rural history and true-story inspiration without wading through technical jargon.
Ideal for lovers of biographies & true stories, farming nostalgia or anyone hunting a signed, feel-good read about Kiwi ingenuity.
