If a picture is worth a thousand words, this book is priceless.
Geoff Dale’s professional life has been spent capturing the moments that have defined our current events. His retrospective of news and sports in New Zealand over the past forty years provides a thoughtful, provocative and insightful collection of iconic images and memories. If you lived through these events, fascinating background information will add a new dimension, as well as professional techniques from a highly skilled practitioner.
From the now-infamous Fish and Chip Brigade plotting their rise to power, to the shot of the sunken Rainbow Warrior the morning after the fatal bombing in Auckland Harbour, these are poignant and important moments in our history. Contrast All Black captains Buck Shelford and Richie Macaw - one covered with mud, blood and the sweat of on-field battle, the other being sprayed by a make-up artist; witness the grief of the family of an ...

The surveyor Robert Park arrived in New Zealand in 1839. He became a notable figure in New Zealand's public life and has an important place in the history of surveying in New Zealand and a place in the history of New Zealand art.
He also fathered three families. In Mungo Park's Trunk, Nola Easdale teases apart the complexities of Robert Park's personal life and traces the histories of his children and their children in turn. In the course of doing so she also solves the puzzle of how a trunk that once belonged to the great Scottish West African explorer, Mungo Park, ended up in the possession of a Maori family in Petone, New Zealand.
This is a fascinating history of a complex family that casts revealing light on many curious aspects of New Zealand's 19th and 20th century history.

Shear Hard Work : A history of shearing in New Zealand

Hazel Riseborough

Shear Hard Work tells the story of shearers and brings to life the world of the shearing shed for the first time. From the 1860s, when shearers were first identified as the 'very dregs of the colonial democracy', to the present day, when Kiwi shearers set world records and shear sheep around the globe, shearers have played a key role in New Zealand life. A historian and qualified wool classer, Riseborough has travelled from merino farms in Alexandra to the women's world record attempt at Waikaretu, from "the first Maori in Milton" to Joe Paewai's Dannevirke shearing family, to tell this great New Zealand story. Riseborough recounts the history of shearing in the words of the shearers, shedhands, wool handlers and cooks who work in the sheds, compete at the shows and set the records. She chronicles key changes in the business - from mechanisation to the expansion of the shearing season and the shrinking of the New Zealand flock. She ...

In 1921-22 the Urewera Native Reserve was abolished in law.

The most up-to-date multi-authored revisionist history of Aotearoa New Zealand. This book tests the idea that New Zealand history can be explained as a quest for 'national identity' and considers whether narratives that rely on the 'colony-to-nation' storyline are still relevant today. Featuring previously unpublished research, this book proposes that history and identity have been shaped by culture, community, class, region and gender, and that these have been (and remain) more important than ideas of evolving nationhood.
