History Boy: Nicholas Tarling – A Memoir order quantity

Paperback
Author: Nicholas Tarling
Nicholas Tarling is an historian of Southeast Asia who has pursued a variety of other interests as well. Known to many New Zealanders after nearly thirty years as a professor at the University of Auckland, he has also been a broadcaster, an actor, a critic, and an opera buff. Drawing on letters and diaries, the author recalls, with at least something of an historian’s objectivity, some of the people, places and problems he encountered – sometimes with pain, sometimes with pleasure. As a child in the 1930s he was described as ‘a fair-haired cherub who could do no wrong’. A colleague in the 1970s remarked on his ‘wisdom, low cunning and dry wit’.

In View of Kapiti (2nd ed) order quantity

NZ$ 34.95 each
Paperback
Author: Barbara Macmorran
This compact history reveals the colourful and fascinating
past of the Kapiti Coast. This area of New Zealand, once
both desired and fought over by Maori, was the focus of much missionary work and early European settlement from the
mid 1800s.More manageable land and conditions that allowed for abundant food production drew early farmers from Wellington. As time passed, the beach settlements and relatively luxuriant climate provided by the shelter of Kapiti Island attracted holidaymakers and later commerce. The settlements dotted along the coast became thriving townships that in time were linked by rail, leading to enormous population growth. Kapiti Island itself enchants all who either catch a glimpse of, or live in sight of it – one day a dark and solitary shape, the next a misty and alluring floating form. While it is a very successful reserve and bird sanctuary today, its past has not been tranquil – it has seen much of whaling, ... more

Problem of Prisons, The: Corrections Reform in New Zealand Since 1840 order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 49.95 each
Paperback
Author: Greg Newbold
Ever since the penitentiary became a mainstream corrections device two centuries ago, there has been a continuous search for something that 'works' in terms of reforming criminal offenders. In its correctional evolution New Zealand has been primarily influenced by developments in England and the United States. It has also been creative in finding its own directions. This has resulted in many variations in government policies, each directed towards the objective of reducing crime.

This book weighs the complex factors that have driven New Zealand's correctional philosophy and practice since 1840. For more than 160 years New Zealand has struggled to find a formula for dealing with criminals in a humane, workable and effective way. For the most part, the quest has failed. Deterrent, retributive, reformative, custodial and community programmes have all had their day and not one has proved to be significantly better than any other in the ... more

Samuel Marsden : Altar Ego order quantity

NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author: Richard Quinn
An in-depth examination of first missionary Samuel Marsden’s New Zealand endeavours. The author researched Marsden’s life and activities in New South Wales and in New Zealand and found a challenging dichotomy between his behaviour and reputation in Australia, where he is loathed, and in New Zealand where he has been little researched, but where he holds ‘saint-like’ status.

The Taming of Distance : New Zealand's First International Telecommunciations order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 39.95 each
Paperback
Author: Elizabeth Airey
On 19 February 1876, New Zealand became telegraphically linked to the world - it joined the international Victorian "internet". Contact with Sydney now took only seconds and London less than 24 hours. But unlike today when everybody is their own instant "telegraphist", in 1876 the system needed a small army of specially trained undersea cable operators. The Taming of Distance tells the story of those people - Englishmen, Australians and New Zealanders - who worked the cable, first from an isolated rural, coastal location near Nelson and later from Wellington central. But it is far from a narrow story of undersea telegraphy. It is set in the wider context of British ownership of the line, and interaction with the New Zealand Government and particularly the New Zealand Telegraph Department. It tells of a rapidly changing world of national and international telecommunications which, by the time the line closed in 1932, bore little ... more
