This is the first field guide written for the general public and beginners in geology in New Zealand. Now fully revised and updated, it shows travellers in New Zealand something of the tremendous variety of our rocks, minerals and fossils and describes what to look for in many areas where rock formations are prominent. It covers the history of New Zealand from its beginnings on the sea floor some 600 million years ago to its present patchwork landscape of volcano, range and plain. This land was formed from many different layers of rock - volcanic flows, forest debris, ocean mud. All these have special characteristics, which are explained and illustrated to enable readers to find the layers and understand their origins and what they can tell us about the landscapes of the past. The crystals that grew in the rocks and the remains of living creatures that were preserved are also illustrated and described. Written in simplified terms, it includes an introductory chapter on general geology, A geological time chart and quick reference maps of the North Island and the South Island for travellers.

Diverse elements have created New Zealand’s distinctive political and social culture. First is New Zealand’s journey as a colony, and the various impacts this had on settler and Maori society. The second theme is the quest for what one prominent historian has labelled ‘national obsessions’ – equality and security, both individual and collective. The third, and more recent, theme is New Zealand’s emergence as a nation with a unique identity. New Zealand’s small geographic size and relative isolation from other societies, the dominant influence of British culture, the resurgence of Maori language and culture, the endemic instability of an economy based on a narrow range of pastoral products, and the dominance of the state in the lives of its people, all help to explain much of the present-day New Zealand psyche. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of New Zealand contains a chronology, an introduction, appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about New Zealand.

This volume presents a set of research papers that provide new data and interpretations of the Permian–Triassic terranes of SE Gondwana, now exposed in South Island, New Zealand. Following an introduction for general readers, a historical summary and a review of biostratigraphy, the individual papers primarily focus on the Permian magmatic arc of the Brook Street Terrane, the classic Permian Dun Mountain ophiolite and the Permian–Triassic Maitai Group sedimentary succession. The new results emphasize the role of subduction and terrane displacement adjacent to the Permo-Triassic Gondwana margin, and present fundamental insights into three crustal processes: subduction initiation, supra-subduction zone oceanic crust genesis and forearc basin evolution. The volume concludes with a wide-ranging summary and synthesis of the regional Cambrian to Early Cretaceous tectonostratigraphy of New Zealand’s South Island in relation to the wider areas of Zealandia, East Australia and West Antarctica. The volume will interest geoscientists, including stratigraphers, sedimentologists, palaeontologists, igneous petrologists, geochemists, geochronologists and economic geologists, and is aimed at professional geologists and advanced students of geology.

'I doubt people of my age would have grown up with such a strong sense of New Zealandness if it hadn't been for Reed Books ... publication by Reeds was a source of great pride', historian Michael King believed. For generations of Kiwis a raupo on the spine of a book has been as much a part of living in New Zealand as quarter-acre sections, hokey-pokey ice cream or jandals. In this eclectic sampling, historian Gavin McLean blows the dust from New Zealand publishing's greatest backlist to serve up more than 80 selections from the Reed vault. The iconic writers - Herbert Guthrie-Smith, Janet Frame, Barry Crump, Denis Glover, Frank Sargeson, Peter Wells, Witi Ihimaera - rub shoulders with the forgotten - C.R. Allen, F.W.G. Miller, Peter Newton, Ruth Gilbert. There's light relief from Pat Lawlor, Mary Scott, Helen Brown, Bob Jones and Richared Hadlee, and searing, gritty writing from R.A.K. Mason, Mary Findlay, Bill Payne and David Brown. We look back at tumultuous events - wars, shipwrecks, the 1981 Springbok tour - examine social issues such as juvenile delinquency, bodgies and gangs, explore Maori culture, popular music and even sample the odd recipe. As Whare Korero shows, Reed isthe voice of New Zealand.
