In the first comprehensive history of the vote and elections published in New Zealand, Neill Atkinson traces the evolution of a distinctive democracy since the beginning of representative government in the 1850s. From the creation of Maori seats in 1867 and the world-leading women's suffrage legislation of 1893, to the dramatic transition to proportional representation in the 1990s, New Zealand's democratic innovations have been shaped by pragmatism, principles and personalities. Illustrated with over 100 photographs, cartoons and posters, this book also looks at how elections were organized, how candidates and political parties ran their campaigns, and how the new media of radio and television changed elections forever. 319 pages.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 144 pages. Dunedin is a city where a walk on the beach can lead to an encounter with a s ea-lion or little blue penguins emerging from the sea at dusk. Its formal bounda ries include a huge area, from Mt Watkin near Waikouaiti inland to the Rock and Pillar Range and south to the Taieri, New Zealandâ??s third-longest river. This represents a zone of endless interest, ranging from the seashore to high alpine environments.

T his book, which is lavishly illustrated, introduces the general reader to such f ascinating aspects of the natural environment as the Dunedin volcano whose crate r now forms Otago Harbour, the endemic life forms found only in this region â?? such as the Caversham peripatus, the weird environment of New Zealandâ??s only inland salt lake, the skink populations surviving in rocky outcrops where the N ew Zealand falcon has difficulty spotting them, as well as the more well-known a nd popular attractions, such as the yellow-eyed penguin and royal albatross colo nies on the Otago Peninsula.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 176 pages. This book looks at the status of orthodox and alternative therapies and pract itioners in New Zealand's primary health care. It is a rapidly changing picture, as some alternative therapies may be practiced by general practitioners as well as alternative therapists, and some therapies are no longer alternative. One theme of the book is that terms such as science, unorthodoxy and incompeten ce have tended to change in meaning over time and place. Some of the challenges to orthodox medicine of the 20th century, such as chiropractic and acupuncture, are now accepted practice. Another theme is the actual and potential limitation of alternative therapeutic practices. The health reforms have led to efforts to develop formulas that will guide the therapeutic actions of medical practitione rs, but individual practitioners make their own judgments about patient care. Ho w the delivery of care is regulated and funded are questions that don't go away, and the author looks at possible models before making some concluding remarks.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. 221 pages. cover worn If a nation could be said to have a dominant passion, New Zealand's would be its landscapes. Images of spectacular natural features pervade the media - in th e pages of glossy coffee-table books, in tourism promotions, and on movie screen s as the setting for blockbuster movies - but are these scenes that define its p eople? For Beyond the Scene, 11 well-known writers from a range of disciplines h ave been asked to explore the many meanings of landscape by choosing one that wa s important to them and writing about it from the perspective of their life expe rience and knowledge. From farmer to art historian and film critic, geographer a nd planner to lawyer, from landscape architect to poet and environmentalist - th ese are diverse voices. Each writer discusses a very different landscape, includ ing Auckland's southern suburbs, rural Waikato, a planned town in Canterbury, mu ch-filmed Otago, Taranaki's iconic volcano, and more. Together, they investigate the relationship landscape has to identity, community, and psyche.…
