Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Minimal wear to cover. Pages clean and binding tight. shelf wear. bumped edges. Paperback. This epic historical adventure tells the story of pre-colonial Aotearoa New Zealand like it's never been told before. A young Maori man, compelled to learn the stories of his ancestors, returns to his family marae on the east coast of the North Island to speak to his elderly grand-uncle, the keeper of the stories. What follows is the enthralling account of the young man's tipuna, the legendary warrior Kaitanga, after whom his marae's whare puni has been named. Tracing the author's own ancestral line, Kawai: For Such a Time as This reveals a picture of an indigenous Aotearoa in the mid-18th century, through to the first encounters between Maori and Europeans. It describes a culture that is highly sophisticated with an immense knowledge of science, medicine and religion; proud tribes who live harmoniously within the natural world; a highly capable and adaptable people to whom family and legacy are paramount. However, it is also a culture illuminated by a brutal undercurrent of inter-generational vengeance, witchcraft and cannibalism. Kawai: For Such a Time as This is the remarkable first novel by respected historian Dr. Monty Soutar, ONZM (Ngati Porou, Ngati Awa, Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Ngati Kahungunu) in a series that reveals the role of colonisation in shaping Aotearoa New Zealand, balanced with an honest appraisal of the country in pre-colonial times.…

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. This copy is like new. Dyer explains how, for more than 25 years, New Zealand's building sector failed to guarantee the most basic expectation—that new homes would not rot. He unpacks the convergence of deregulation, unsuitable materials, design trends, and inconsistent oversight that created the "leaky homes" crisis. The narrative is grounded in the experiences of homeowners facing repair bills in the hundreds of thousands, along with the emotional toll of illness, stress, and financial collapse.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. This copy is new and unread. By 1965 at the age of thirty, Frank Erceg had established an impressive reputation as a marksman, mountaineer and photographer, with his work widely published in newspapers and magazines of the day. That same year, Frank and his mate Johnny Cumming were killed in New Zealand's first helicopter hunting accident, sending shockwaves through the tight-knit hunting community. Frank's story began with the migration of the Erceg family from the former Yugoslavia to New Zealand. Growing up in the small settlement of Aukopae near Taumarunui, Frank was strongly influenced by three older brothers who taught him hunting, fishing and bushcraft skills. In his early twenties, Frank headed south, first enlisting as a government shooter before becoming an independent meat hunter. The magnificent Arawhata Valley in South Westland was his hunting ground, his base, a purpose-built log cabin on the edges of the Arawhata River. Author Louise Maich has spent over two decades piecing together her uncle Frank's previously untold story through family research, letters, compelling recollections and yarns from Frank's contemporaries - the last of the great hunters of that era. Illustrated with rare images from his photographic archive, Finding Frank is a heartfelt tribute to one of New Zealand's true hunting legends.…

"At the turn of the twentieth century. many British regarded New Zealand as 'the Britain of the South Seas'. Tourist promotions created an idealised impression of a country that was partly a civilised society, and partly somewhere to get away from the rat-race of The Big Smoke and explore the wild, untouched beauty of nature. The country also offered an insight into Te Ao Maori, an exotic drawcard for European travellers. In 190s, the travel agency Thomas Cook published a guide for tourists seeking to explore the wilds of Aotearoa. [. . .] Tracing the routes Edwardian tourists travelled, taking in attractions such as the Franz Josef Glacier, Huka Falls and the boiling mudpools of Ohinemutu, 'Touring Edwardian New Zealand' reveals a fascinating portrait of a country shrugging off its colonial vestiges, and establishing a new identity." - from blurb on rear cover.…
