paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. DETAILS: sewn PAPERBACK, near fine thick large volume, with separate dust-jacket, appears unused. STEWART, KEITH. Chancers and visionaries: a history of New Zealand wine. Auckland, N.Z.: Godwit, 2010, 447pp., . Most New Zealanders know about the impact of Dalmatian immigrants on our wine industry. Some may remember that in the 1820s vines were planted at various places in the Far North. But given how vital the industry is these days and how much attention our distinctive New World wines get from overseas judges, we are all surprisingly hazy about what happened in between. How many New Zealanders know that had it not been for the Temperance movement and the aggression of the beer industry, we'd have had a thriving wine industry a century earlier than we did? How many know that if it weren't for Catholic priests, winemaking may have died out altogether? In this carefully researched, engagingly told history, well-known wine writer Keith Stewart uncovers the fascinating history of wine in this country and highlights the remarkable characters who believed in it and whose passion drove it forward, even in its darkest decades.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. . Ancient legend has it that Kiwis can achieve anything with a piece of number-eight wire. This book shows that today we can do the same with balls of wool, lumps of rock, lengths of fabric, bits of bone, sheets of perspex and any other material that springs to mind, whether within reach or hard to find. You name it: we've woven, hammered, moulded, carved or otherwise crafted it into objects of enduring beauty, for occasional adornment or daily use. CRAFTED BY DESIGN is a true story about Kiwi ingenuity. In fact it's 55 stories. They profile senior artists as well as up-and-coming ones, fifth-generation-plus and new New Zealanders - and they provide a vibrant cross-section of our craft-art scene today. Stephen Robinson's photographs capture the artists and their work in full colour. Jeanette Cook's text outlines the inspiration and processes involved in crafting; the changes New Zealand craft art has seen; and new trends that are emerging now. The materials that craft artists use are sometimes commonplace, but the results of the imaginative endeavours shown here never are. From glasswork to guitars, hats to hei tiki, sewing to swords, teapots to ta moko, these works are individual and even priceless. Some may be seen in museums in years to come. But CRAFTED BY DESIGN displays them where they are most at home: in the environment, at the studio, with their makers. This book, itself a thing of beauty, is a fine tribute to the achievements of New Zealand craft artists. 884g. A very clean copy. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. A very clean copyThis general history of 19th-century immigration into New Zealand, looks first at the reasons people left Britain and why they chose New Zealand. With background information on the British economy, society and politics of the time, it discusses the schemes and incentives that encouraged them to leave and why they ended up where they did. In the two decades from 1853, in excess of four million people left the British Isles. Several hundred thousand of them found their way to New Zealand, participants in one of the great periods of migration in history. Drawing on a wealth of published and unpublished material, the book presents the human side of the story - the immigrants' usually harrowing experiences of the journey and their arrival in the new country. Finally, it examines the part immigration has played in the development of New Zealand political culture and social agendas. Why are New Zealanders so concerned about employment, owning a house and a piece of land, ensuring that children have access to education, being secure in retirement? The book should be useful to students of New Zealand history and society, as well as people who are interested by the origins of their forebears. Tony Simpson is the author of "The Sugarbag Years".…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Inscription otherwise a very clean copy. A contemporary, lyrical, fresh and innovative look at where farming is now, this huge book (280 x 240, 336 pages, flexibind) features engaging text and utterly magnificent, almost epic, photo spreads by one of the country's leading photographers. On their journey through New Zealand, Vaughan Yarwood and Arno Gasteiger spent time with farming families who cover the range from Waikato dairying to Canterbury cropping to Southland sheep farming. Between them all they discuss all the issues that preoccupy New Zealand farmers today: innovation, productivity, export, conservation, succession, science, efficiency, rural land access and more. A fascinating group of people, their farming experiences range from Erewhon station, which still uses Clydesdales and drays to get to back country musters, to young farmers who are both keen conservationists but also driven by scientific rigour as they seek efficiencies. The book is threaded through with references to how far farming has come and the sweep of farming history, and talks to farmers as much as it does to townies. Our heartland has never looked more magnificent than it does in this book, which is full of glorious landscapes but also the portraits of the remarkable men and women who farm this land.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very close to new copy. A fascinating account of how the beach has influenced New Zealand lifestyle, culture and identity. Experiencing Beach Life is simply part of being a New Zealander. It has helped shape our annual summer holiday, the games we play, the clothes we wear and the houses we build. It has also played an important role in the development of Kiwi identity. In this compelling and generously illustrated exploration of Beach Life over the last 90 years, writer, historian and style commentator Douglas Lloyd Jenkins examines how attitudes towards the beach have evolved and how the beach - a hot bed of hedonistic pleasures as well as a magnet for holidaying families - has in turn brought about important social change. Open to all, yet increasingly fringed with expensive property accessible only to the rich, the New Zealand beach has always been a place of extremes In Beach Life, Lloyd Jenkins provides a colourful account of the pioneering trends and pivotal influences that have shaped Kiwis enduring attraction to the beach and the lasting impact the beach has had on every aspect of New Zealand society. …
