Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Colonising New Zealand was as much of a search for wealth as an imperial venture. The rush to exploit the country's gold and kauri is a story of innovation and determination, as well as suspicion and thuggery. The rushes of both industries drew Maori and British, and also Americans, Australians, Dalmatians and Chinese to these shores. They brought their various cultures and adapted technology to extract their desired riches - kauri timber and gum from forests and fields in the north, gold from the rivers and mountains mostly in the south. Rush to Riches: Kauri and Gold explains the history and processes of both these formative industries, along with characters that became famous and infamous as they toiled to become rich. Plentiful illustrations and information boxes show how these industries shaped our society and left their mark on our environment. *Third title in the well-received NZ Series launched in 2019 *Aimed at readers intermediate and high-school age *Liberally illustrated, with ephemera and information boxes Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Very close to new copy. The discovery of gold in New Zealand in the 1800s led thousands of people to rush to overnight tent towns set among isolated mountains and rivers. In the north, vast forests of giant kauri trees cloaked the land. Yet now only a tiny fraction of the trees survive in threatened forests, and many goldmining settlements are just ghost towns. Rush to Riches tells the story of how mining for gold and felling the kauri forests helped found New Zealand, with both M?ori and new immigrants involved in these new industries. The tales in this book. (Publisher).
