Hardcover. Zustand: As New. As New. Edmonds is one of New Zealand's best-known brands - its radiant sun and 'Sure to Rise' promise have embellished baking powder labels and the much-loved Edmonds Cookery Book for over a hundred years and are now embedded in our popular culture. The man behind the company, Thomas Edmonds, came to New Zealand with his wife Jane in 1879. While running a modest grocery store in Christchurch, he expanded into making baking powder. As his most famous product took off, he built new premises, the last of them the Art Deco factory with its nationally admired gardens. Thomas embraced new advertising and marketing techniques and ensured progressive working conditions for his loyal staff. A generous benefactor, he gave his city some of its landmark buildings. This is the story of a man from humble beginnings who, thanks to hard work, creativity and persistence, and with considerable support from his wife, created an iconic business. Richly illustrated, 'Sure to Rise' is a fascinating slice of New Zealand's social and culinary history.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; 160 pages. Black boards with gilt lettering on spine and front board. Page dimensions: 231 x 170mm. All page edges gilt. Maori proverbs with English translation, with black and white photographic illustrations on facing pages. "Pearls of wisdom contained in proverbs - whakatauki - have been gifted from generation to generation as an intrinsic part of the Maori world. As powerful metaphors, they combine analogy and cultural history in the most economical of words. Short and insightful, they surprise, engendering reflection, learning and personal growth. Mauri Ora links whakatauk I to key personal virtues idealised across cultures and generations. The virtues - wisdom, courage, compassion, integrity, self-mastery and belief - stem from the science of positive psychology; the study of how to live a better life. Illustrated throughout with wonderful photographs from an old world, this book draws on traditional wisdom to provide a recipe for personal effectiveness and leadership, and a rewarding connection of Maori knowledge to contemporary thinking about personal happiness and fulfilment.".…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On the 100th anniversary of its creation, this book celebrates Railways Studios--the design studio of the New Zealand Railways--and its role in helping build and connect New Zealand. It's a surprising story: a government agency that produced advertising for any-and-all clients, and dominated outdoor advertising for over 65 years (1920-1987). The Studios' advertisements ranged from posters to painted billboards and brochures, and they decorated every city and town, creating a gallery of the street. Whatever the promotion--from rail travel and tourism to enlistment in the army, clothing, and health promotion--the Studios played a role. Thousands of its designs influenced public attitudes, shaping how New Zealanders saw themselves. This definitive history of railways advertising is a time capsule of New Zealand life and examines the art of the Railways Studios, detailing its formative place in New Zealand design and art history.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. A very close to new copy with only one small mark on the rear cover. The book traces how New Zealand's mountains were promoted from the late nineteenth century onward, using posters, brochures, hand‑coloured photographs, glass slides, magazine covers, lithographs and other visual ephemera to show how the idea of the Southern Alps as an "alpine playground" was constructed. It follows the growth of tramping, skiing, climbing and scenic travel, and explains how mountain imagery became tied to national identity and belonging in Aotearoa. The research team draws on a century of visual material, presenting it in a way that blends art history, tourism history and cultural storytelling.…
