Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. This copy appears to be unread. New Zealand is fortunate in having a high quality water resource. It has fuelled an agricultural revolution where production has taken precedence over management of resources. In a world where clean water is becoming a scarce resource, we must protect ours for a nation's future wellbeing. That is why urgent steps must be taken to address the issue of pollution of water by agricultural contamination and urban waste. On top of all this is the loss of river margins through "accretion", claims that add public land to farms. The demand that rivers be fenced off and their margins be planted as a token gesture to public opinion has not stopped their continued degradation, as well as cutting access off to the public. The book also covers claims to "ownership" of New Zealand's waters - from the bottling companies that take water from aquifers to make fortunes selling it overseas, to demands by the Iwi Leaders Group to take ownership of a natural resource that falls from the sky. Our own government has been party to the pillaging of a nation's bounty by sacking councillors of a major regional council and appointing compliant commissioners in their place. It has changed standards to permit downgraded water to be deemed acceptable for human use. The people of New Zealand are losing not only the quality of their once pristine rivers but also the ownership of the water to hungry predators. These issues have to be addressed and this book is an important step in that direction. Kathleen Wood (illustratore).…

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. "For what was probably millions of years New Zealand was the last isolated fragment of the great southern continent, Gondwana. And then came the impact of man. The first wave was the colonisation by Maori around eight hundred years ago, resulting in mass extinction of forest browsing birds like the moa. This brought about profound changes to the land. The second wave was European arrivals, starting around two hundred years ago, which led to a whole new eco-system being transferred on to the remnants of the old. It too wrought profound changes on the land. The third wave was started by one man, Leonard Cockayne, whose obsession with browse led to a romantic desire to re-create a pristine world that had, in fact never existed. Cocayne's deeply flawed model had been powered by state bureaucracies eager to extend their departmental authority. In the beginning it was a war against deer, fought with service rifles. To-day, as a result of years of official indoctrination, the possum is the recipient of the nation's odium. 90% of the world's supply of the deadly 1080 poison is being spread on New Zealand in a misguided attempt at extermination. The Department of Conservation's obsession with 1080 has led to the killing of a few possums but many birds and other creatures; even the forest is at risk. The "third wave" of official exterminators is killing the land."--Back cover. This copy feels unread.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy which feels unread. "Never before has New Zealand's future been so dependent on events of the past, with governments, under the dubious influence of the Waitangi Tribunal, looking backwards rather than forwards, driving us apart rather than looking to the future as one nation. 'Bi-culturalism' is code for separatism and is driving a sword through the nation's hard won unity while 'co-governance' between democratically elected councils and private, unelected tribal groups is undermining both sovereignty and accountable democracy.".…

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. As New. This informative and well-researched book by Fiona McQueen drives a hole through the New Zealand Department of Conservation's mantra that the deadly and indiscriminate 1080 poison is necessary to protect native birds and other fauna. Anyone who genuinely cares about New Zealand's wonderful environment can not help but be horrified at the tale that is told. The more people who are informed on this issue, the better and this book describes this mass poisoning programme with frankness and fairness. And very easy to read.…

Soft Covers. Condizione: Very Good. None. First Edition. 25 cm, 252 pp, b&w photo illus, soft covers. VG copy. In this single volume are detailed descriptions of several of the big public works projects in the pioneer period that turned New Zealand from a trackless waste into a well-serviced nation of the modern world.The creation of roads, bridges, railways, viaducts, wharves, docks, lighthouses, tramways, the telegraph and other public utilities was not achieved without the brains of the engineers, the organising ability of the contractors, and the sweat and labour of the teams of workers, sometimes numbering in the hundreds for just one project.By spreading communications and services into the back country these men were helping to forge a new nation and to make life easier for its people. Only by reading of these undertakings, of life in the bush camps, of courage and perseverance in the face of sometimes unbelievable difficulties, can one appreciate and get the feeling of this magnificent achievement of pioneer New Zealand - publisher's website.…

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 130 pages + illustrations (some colour) on 6 plate leaves. Softcover. Page dimensions: 209 x 146mm. "In order to address the issue of whether the colonisation of New Zealand by the British was of benefit to the native people it is necessary to understand how they were living at the time of the discovery of the islands of New Zealand by the outside world, starting with Captain Cook's Endeavour in 1769, the year that changed New Zealand forever. Using the written account of eye-witnesses of the time rather than unreliable oral history or the claims of revisionist historians, this book describes the way of life of the Maoris before colonisation and the changes that came about with the introduction of British sovereignty, British law and British people as a result of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840." - from blurb on rear cover.
