Soft Covers. Condizione: VG. No Jacket. 1st. Jane Mander was a woman author with discriptive skills, social idealism, outspoken views and crusading zeal which caused her first novel "The Story of a New Zealand River" (1920) to drew fierce criticism in NZ for its depiction of women as strong, independent and free-thinking. The bo…ok represented life in Northland at the height of the Kauri timber boom of the late 1800s/early 1900's, a trade in which her father was involved. This background, plus her literary ability, made the setting and characterisations. extremely accurate, portraying the tone of back-blocks NZ at that time. In response to the book one prominant reviewer said the author's chief fault was "her obsession with sex; a lttle more reticence would do her no harm." Today these passages would be considerared very tame. Rae McGregor's biography gives a fine word portrait of this pioneering NZ women novalist who lived a full and varied interlectual, journalisitic, literary and cosmopolitan life, even if her four subsequent novels did not attract the praise, or notoriety, of the first, which had been favourably reviewed in the US and England. Mander went to New York, via London.not long before WWI, studied journalism at Columbia University and .when the US entered WWI in 1917 worked worked for the Red Cross in NY. After a number of rejections her ".River"' was published in London by Bodley Head in 1920. Crossing back to England in 1923 Mander worked in literary circles there and in Paris until 1932 when she returned to NZ , to be dismayed by its lack of culture and regressive attitudes to the social and feminist issues she advocated. Dogged in latter years by ill-health she died at Whangarei in 1949. First edition of 1998 by Otago University Press, 146 pages including notes, bibliography and index, 28 b/w photos, map, VG pictoria/art card covers have light wear to corners, internally VG+, no inscriptions. Photos, Map (illustratore).

Hardcover. Condizione: NF. Condizione sovraccoperta: NF. 1st. From 1952 to 1986 the Union Steam Ship Compay operated a cadet scheme for training young seafarers to become merchant service deck officers. The first two cadets were seleceted in 1952 and when the cadet scheme ended in1986 350 had passed through, many to become maste…r mariners and others to have careers in shipping related occupations with some becoming prominent in other roles. In the late 1930s the Union Company was finding it difficult to employ qualified deck officers and was considering adapting one of its fleet to serve as a training ship--- WWII put paid to that project. It was, however, revived in 1948, at a time when manning new ships coming into the post-war fleet were being encountered,The decision to place cadets in units ocerational units of the obviated the requirement for a training ship.The first two cadets went to sea in 1952. in tThe following years 10 cadets were accepted, later intake numbers fluctuated. In 1962 16 were signed on and remained at around that number for many intakes. In 1980s enrollment began to lower with no cadets from 1982 until the last four four cadets were appointed in 1986. A cadetship lasted for four years and as well as ship-board experience entrants also attended nautical school classes ashore. The first of four female cadets joined the scheme in 1980. Rae McGregor has made and excellent job preparing this book on bahalf of the Union Company Cadets Reunion Committee, with the book published to A1 Classification by the New Zealand Ship and Marine Society. The text material is based largely around the experiences of cadets as recorded in interviews conducted by the author and as for the worth of this project the book's title says it all. First edition of 2009, 175 pages including cadets list 1952-86, bibliography and index, illiustrated with two selections colour photos (38 images) plus b/w photos throughout, some document reproductiions ect, with pictorial end-papers.Green hard covers with gilt spine titles are NF, as is the text block. An ink name at the top of the half-title appears to be that of a member of the 1967-79 cadet intake. The colour pictorial DJ is also NF. Photos, Document Reproductions (illustratore).
