Rusting boilers in stream beds and bush-covered tramlines are often our only links with the sweat and toil, ingenuity and risk-taking that were the making of New Zealand. In this engaging tour of the country's industrial history, Nigel Smith invites the reader to surviving industrial heritage sites - places that testify there was a lot more to this country's development than farming. Heritage of Industry surveys the development of all this country's major industries, bringing to life a host of industrial and social history including the harsh conditions of the early whaling stations, the glory days of gold mining, the systematic exploitation of native forests, the building of our unique railway systems and the political drama of early coal mining. Plentiful historical and contemporary photos are featured throughout. Included with each chapter are directions to selected industrial sites, many of which are tucked away amidst beautiful scenery. From gold-boom ghost towns to urban railway stations, the Denniston Incline to the Wellington Cable Car, Heritage of Industry conserves the industrial past of New Zealand and celebrates the 'can-do' spirit of early entrepreneurs and workers.

Penny Whiting, a well-known sailor, sailing teacher, sailing competitor and sailing commentator, has written this book for those people who don't have a sailing background. In easy-to-understand language she explains the machinations of the Cup campaign, from what the Louis Vuitton Cup Challenger's Series is and how it is run, to what stern, port and starboard mean. There are over 20 line drawings that explain sail names, parts of the yachts, where crew members are situated on the boats and what some of the terminology commentators use during races actually means. This book has been officially licensed as an America's Cup Authentic Cup Product and its contents have been checked and authorised by Team New Zealand. Includes extensive glossary of sailing terms

<p>Pounamu is the beautiful green stone that traditionally served Maori as tool, weapon, adornment and currency. More recently it has been the subject of dispute between Ngai Tahu and the Crown. That dispute was settled with the return of the resource to Ngai Tahu in 1997. Under Ngai Tahu, a long term management programme is now in place that includes research into all aspects of the stone. The initial results of this research, conducted by Russell Beck and Maika Mason, are incorporated in this book. Other aspects, such as origins and natural occurrence, names and varieties, human history, both Maori and Pakeha, Maori myths and legends associated with pounamu, physical properties and the methods evolved for processing and carving it are also discussed. This book looks at jade in all its aspects. For carvers, jewellers, rockhounds and students it will be invaluable -- and for all those who are interested in New Zealand's history, it tells a turbulent and fascinating story. Mana Pounamu is the fully revised and updated edition of New Zealand Jade, first published in 1984.</p>
