Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. "For what was probably millions of years New Zealand was the last isolated fragment of the great southern continent, Gondwana. And then came the impact of man. The first wave was the colonisation by Maori around eight hundred years ago, resulting in mass extinction of forest browsing birds… like the moa. This brought about profound changes to the land. The second wave was European arrivals, starting around two hundred years ago, which led to a whole new eco-system being transferred on to the remnants of the old. It too wrought profound changes on the land. The third wave was started by one man, Leonard Cockayne, whose obsession with browse led to a romantic desire to re-create a pristine world that had, in fact never existed. Cocayne's deeply flawed model had been powered by state bureaucracies eager to extend their departmental authority. In the beginning it was a war against deer, fought with service rifles. To-day, as a result of years of official indoctrination, the possum is the recipient of the nation's odium. 90% of the world's supply of the deadly 1080 poison is being spread on New Zealand in a misguided attempt at extermination. The Department of Conservation's obsession with 1080 has led to the killing of a few possums but many birds and other creatures; even the forest is at risk. The "third wave" of official exterminators is killing the land."--Back cover. Scar to the back cover otherwise feels unread.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. This copy appears to be unread. New Zealand is fortunate in having a high quality water resource. It has fuelled an agricultural revolution where production has taken precedence over management of resources. In a world where clean water is becoming a scarce resource, we must protect ours… for a nation's future wellbeing. That is why urgent steps must be taken to address the issue of pollution of water by agricultural contamination and urban waste. On top of all this is the loss of river margins through "accretion", claims that add public land to farms. The demand that rivers be fenced off and their margins be planted as a token gesture to public opinion has not stopped their continued degradation, as well as cutting access off to the public. The book also covers claims to "ownership" of New Zealand's waters - from the bottling companies that take water from aquifers to make fortunes selling it overseas, to demands by the Iwi Leaders Group to take ownership of a natural resource that falls from the sky. Our own government has been party to the pillaging of a nation's bounty by sacking councillors of a major regional council and appointing compliant commissioners in their place. It has changed standards to permit downgraded water to be deemed acceptable for human use. The people of New Zealand are losing not only the quality of their once pristine rivers but also the ownership of the water to hungry predators. These issues have to be addressed and this book is an important step in that direction. Kathleen Wood (illustrator).

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy which feels unread. "Never before has New Zealand's future been so dependent on events of the past, with governments, under the dubious influence of the Waitangi Tribunal, looking backwards rather than forwards, driving us apart rather than looking to the future… as one nation. 'Bi-culturalism' is code for separatism and is driving a sword through the nation's hard won unity while 'co-governance' between democratically elected councils and private, unelected tribal groups is undermining both sovereignty and accountable democracy.".

This informative and well-researched book by Fiona McQueen drives a hole through the New Zealand Department of Conservation's mantra that the deadly and indiscriminate 1080 poison is necessary to protect native birds and other fauna. Anyone who genuinely cares about Ne…w Zealand's wonderful environment can not help but be horrified at the tale that is told.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 130 pages + illustrations (some colour) on 6 plate leaves. Softcover. Page dimensions: 209 x 146mm. "In order to address the issue of whether the colonisation of New Zealand by the British was of benefit to the native people it is necessary to understand how they were livi…ng at the time of the discovery of the islands of New Zealand by the outside world, starting with Captain Cook's Endeavour in 1769, the year that changed New Zealand forever. Using the written account of eye-witnesses of the time rather than unreliable oral history or the claims of revisionist historians, this book describes the way of life of the Maoris before colonisation and the changes that came about with the introduction of British sovereignty, British law and British people as a result of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840." - from blurb on rear cover. Contents: A Humanitarian Colonisation; Food; Clothing; Housing; Transport; Hygiene; Health; Superstition; Slavery; Women; Children; Infanticide; Tribal Warfare; Cannibalism; Property Rights; Introduction of Law; Language; Fauna and Flora; Population; Welcome, White Man; Conclusion.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. No Dust Jacket. September 2018 fourth edition (revised) of a title first published in 2013. 359, [2], 2-47 (table of Treaty settlements), [14 (References)], [5 (Index)] pages + 27 illustrations on 8 plate leaves. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 209 x 147mm. Colour and black and white illustrat…ions. New Zealand history, Maori history. "This is probably the most important book published in recent times as it shows how in 27 years the Treaty of Waitangi has been reinterpreted, the 'partnership' myth created, tribal corporations set up, public assets transferred to those corporations which are now on the brink of securing a special place in a new, treaty based, written constitution. [. . .] In recent years a cadre of self-interested politicians, bureaucrats, judges, lawyers, academics, journalists and tribal leaders have been feeding the public a fake history ('wicked colonialists and noble chiefs'), including a false version of the treaty, so as to feed the ever growing grievance industry and line the pockets of corporate iwi, which has amassed $36.9 billion of assets while paying less tax than other or, more often, no tax at all. Claims to culture, radio waves, petroleum and the like, let alone 'partnership' with the Crown and even sovereignty itself, are modern creations not mentioned in the treaty." - from blurb on rear cover.

Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Dust Jacket. 252 pages. Softcover. Page dimensions: 249 x 159mm. Illustrated. "In this single volume are detailed descriptions of several of the big public works projects in the pioneer period that turned New Zealand from a trackless waste into a well-serviced nation of the modern world. The cre…ation of roads, bridges, railways, viaducts, wharves, lighthouses, tramways, the telegraph and other public utilities was not achieved without the brains of the engineers, the organising ability of the contractors, and the sweat and labour of the teams of workers, sometimes numbering in the hundreds for just one project. By spreading communications and services into the back country these men were helping to forge a new nation and to make life easier for its people. Only by reading of these undertakings, of life in the bush camps, of courage and perseverance in the face of sometimes unbelievable difficulties, can one appreciate and get the feeling of this magnificent achievement of pioneer New Zealand." - from blurb on rear cover.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. No Dust Jacket. 120 pages. Page dimensions: 209 x 147mm. "Maori society was in disarray in the early nineteenth cenury. While slavery in the deep south of the USA was terrible, in New Zealand it was brutal, with unexpected death and cannibalism a constant threat. There was mass killing. In the years fol…lowing the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, British forces imposed peace, bringing an end to intertribal warfare, torture, slavery and cannibalism. The Maori population steadily recovered from the ravages of the terrible past. [. . .] However, the rewriting of history in support of separatist claims is demanded of 'scholars'. The repetition of causes for grievance then increases racial tensions while turning attention away from the worsening economic and social conditions of so many ordinary Maori. This book explores the background and outlines some of the consequences of the insistence on grievance, with a people becoming ever more divided. Racial privileges based on the accidents of history are now part of New Zealand law and are dividing a nation that was built on the worthy aspiratoin of 'one law for all'." - from blurb on rear cover.

Page dimensions: 210 x 147mm. Illustrated with colour and black-and-white illustrations. "Any full and frank discussion of New Zealand's future has been blocked…as a juggernaut of Maori exceptionalism is moving steadily towards complete separation by race, with a new constitution being proposted to bring control by an 'indigenous' minority with two separate Houses of Parliament - the complete destruction of equality and democracy. The people of New Zealand will have lost any ability to control their own way of life. This book dates to face the fundamentals and ask the tricky questions, to refuse to bow down to the imposed dogma and ideology. What is racism? Is this apartheid? Who really did break the Treaty? The answers are clear. The grave situation can only be faced with an understanding of the full story of New Zealand's unique history and the events that have brought this division, commencing in 1975 with the formation of the permanent Waitangi Tribunal, and becoming more extreme over the years since." - from blurb on rear cover.

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 221, [1 (blank)] pages. Page dimensions: 209 x 146mm. "The Maori Intertribal Wars 1801-1840 were New Zealand's biggest tragedy of the 19th century. An estimated 43,600 natives were killed or wounded by enemy tribes. However, this cataclysmic near extinction of our ear…ly settlers is tossed aside as irrelevant when something like the special rights of a mountain are abused [. . .] Setting up the race-based Waitangi Tribunal may well have been the worst thing to happen to New Zealand in the 20th century. This failed experiment in biculturalism has, by its very existence, nearly halted the cultural development of 14% of New Zealanders and is increasingly trying the patience of the other 86%. [. . .] This book asks why we believe things that we know could not possibly be true, and why does our society seem to be operating with rules that don't offer solutions to our modern problems. It explains how pre-1840 New Zealand was not inhabited by the 'Maori race' but a number of nations/tribes who were constantly at war with each other, thus exposing the fraud on which the Waitangi Tribunal is based. 'Cannons Creek to Waitangi' examines how New Zealanders began to arrive here 700 years ago in one of the last human migrations and why we behave the way we do today." - from blurb on rear cover.

"In his last book, 'He Puapua: Blueprint for Breaking up New Zealand (2021), Dr. Robinson exposed the true impact of the He PuaPua report; this time he exposes - inter alia - an alternativ…e Maori government of New Zealand, which is up and running without obstruction from the lawfully elected government. The previous warnings of the destruction of democracy became the reality of 2022, with the government policy of co-governance moving rapidly towards complete separation into two races with very different rights of citizenship. The current book is a reminder of the successful building of the nation, a co-operative effort by so many from all parts of the world, coming togehter as one people. The values of that egalitarian society, where everyone can have a fair go, must be recovered. This is a big challenge, requiring a citizens' counter-revolution to fight, and destroy, the divisive ideology that has come to direct twenty-first century New Zealand." - from blurb on rear cover.

"For four weeks in 1860 there taook place the largest gathering of chiefs who met to talk of their beliefs and concerns, of their move away from the old tikanga to a new way of l…ife, of their adherence to Christianity, of the recognition of British sovereignty, and of the unity being foreged between the natives and the colonists. Some of the chiefs voiced a complaint that the new colonisation, born of the Age of Enlightenment idea of human equality, was too slow and too hesitant. They wanted to move forward, to join together the two cultures so as to become one people in a united land. [. . .] In their own words at the conference, faithfully recorded in this book, they described their experiences of the extraordinary Maori cultural transformation that was taking place and their appreciation of the benefits of colonisation. They wished for peace under one government and one Queen, and opposed both the fighting that was currently taking place in Taranaki and the threats from the Maori King movement. By the end of the conference the government was assured of the loyalty of the majority of Maori and knew that there would be no break-up of the country." - from blurb on rear cover.
