Hardback. Condizione: Good. Interesting account of New Zealand, well illustrated with many colour and monochrome photos. Focused on the relationship between the US and New Zealand. 'It is easy to say that the two countries have a lot in common. This book attempts to bring that nebulous statement into sharp focus, to define the commonality of history, trade, technology and shared values. The spirit of New Zealand and the spirit of America meet in the love of freedom, of individual achievement and of overcoming, like Richard Pearse, the obstacles in our path to common prosperity.' Chapters include: The Spirit of New Zealand The Lure of New Zealand The Green Country The Face of America in New Zealand Wellington and San Fransisco Original Technologies in New Zealand The Special Challange of Isolation Directory of Contributors Credits Malcolm Sheffield established Sheffield House Publications in the late 1970s. Under this brand, from 1979, he produced a series of books entitled 'This is New Zealand.' Their purpose was to promote New Zealand exporters, businesses, lifestyle, landscape, arts etc. Sometime they also featured other countries such as the USA, Australia, and Singapore. The firms involved with each publication recieved the finished book to give out to clients, particularly foreign clients, as a means of promoting New Zealand achievements and potential.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book resurrects James Banks, 1661-1729, one of life's rarities who climbed an honest ladder to success.The mid-17th century has been a fury of civil war, of animosities which tear families apart, of murderous religious dissension. Troubles invade even the Yorkshire hamlet where the boy, James Banks, is born. His father, who fought on the Cromwellian side, present owner of a stinking tannery, is as turbulent as his times. There is little peace here.But in the wider world of towns such as Nottingham, where James and his elder brother William are apprenticed as watchmakers, new ways of thinking and innovative ideas are springing from the chaos. New sects, showing men new paths to follow, arise, take root or fail. In these more peaceful times, trade flourishes. To the men who engage in it, the precise measurement of time becomes important. And trade generates money, money that presents its own problem in the very bulk and portage of it. Nottingham, built on sandstone, with its honeycomb of caves, is an ideal spot. Banking is born.James becomes prosperous. But what to do with all this wealth? Should he leave it to family in the accepted way? Or bequeath it elsewhere? If he does the latter, there will be consequences. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A true story.Anne's father, William Banks, has left his small-town roots and his family's disreputable secrets for anonymous Leeds. There he prospers, a corn-merchant with a hard head for business, in that proud 18th century town of growing numbers and growing wealth.His wife provides him with daughter Anne, followed by two prized sons and further daughters. William visualises himself becoming, through his sons, the founder of a glittering dynasty. But fate intervenes.Daughter Anne achieves her own dream by marrying into a respected and successful family. More good fortune ensues when the desirable tenancy of Nunnington Hall comes the way of her lawyer husband. He too has visions, lofty, agricultural visions that will change the face of an antiquated England and for everyone's benefit.All around them the old ways of life are being assailed by fresh and vigorous ideas. Prosperity and success seem built into the nation's future.Anne's father stays resolute that his name shall live on; and from Anne's ever-growing brood chooses one of his grandsons to inherit his fortune, provided the boy changes his surname to Banks. But the boy has ambitions of his own. The course of dreams, it seems, never did run smooth. This item is printed on demand.
