Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 268 pages. pp 268 nice clean copyFor the early pioneers in New Zealand saving for a home was difficult and the s um required was beyond the means of most people. To overcome this difficulty the early settlers turned to the practice followed in their home country. They form ed co-operative saving organisations, known as building societies, into which th ey contributed a few hard earned pence each week to help one another accumulate sufficient funds to buy or build a home. In this way the Auckland Co-operative T erminating Building Society was born. Because the Society belonged to the pionee r/worker of the late nineteenth century, the building society story is as much a history of New Zealand's social and economic development as it is the history o f the financial services organisation now known as Countrywide Banking Corporati on Limited. This history of Countrywide Bank covers the one hundred years from 1 0 March 1897 to the preent day. It was a time in which both the quill pen and th e desktop computer figure, in which counting cash was an end in itself and in wh ich we entered the cashless society .--Inside front cover.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hongi Hika: Warrior Chief By Dorothy Urlich-Cloher. First edition 2003, Viking, New Zealand. Very good hardback and jacket, no inscriptions, binding firm, a little rubbing, bumping and marks, pages very good, minor marks, light tanning to edges. Jacket has some edge/shelf-wear, rubbing, creasing and marks, stain on reverse side. The legendary Hongi Hika was one of the great figures of Maoridom and was certainly the principal Maori leader during the first years of European settlement. His Ngapuhi tribe conquered large parts of the North Island during the Musket Wars in the early 19th century. He was a charismatic fighting chief of the old school, brutal when required; but he also befriended European missionaries such as Thomas Kendell, spoke good English and held his own at the English court during his visit to London. He is thus extremely accessible to a reader in the 21st century. This biography is by a kinswoman of Hongi's. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Mau Moko The World of Maori Tattoo By Ngahuia Te Awekotuku. Publisher: Viking Penguin, New Zealand, 2007. Very good hardback with jacket, binding firm, no inscriptions, pages excellent. Jacket has light shelf-wear, minor marks. 59 pages, illustrated. In the traditional Maori world, the moko, or facial or body tattoo, was a sign of great mana and status. Male warriors wore elaborate tattoos on their faces and bodies; women took more delicate chin tattoos. After almost dying out in the twentieth century, Maori tattooing is now experiencing a powerful revival, with many young Maori wearing the moko as a spectacular gesture of racial pride. Mau Moko is probably the most magnificent book ever produced about the moko, from pre-European times to the present day. It examines the use of tattooing by traditional and contemporary Maori and links it to other aspects of Maori culture. Gender issues are considered along with tattooing techniques both old and new. The book features case studies of modern Maori who have made a personal decision to be tattooed; the role and status of the tattooers; exploitation of the moko in popular culture around the world by figures such as rock singers and football players.
