Download or read book Seeds of Empire written by Tom Brooking and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional image of New Zealand is one of verdant landscapes with sheep grazing on lush green pastures. Yet this landscape is almost entirely an artificial creation. As Britain became increasingly reliant on its overseas territories for supplies of food and raw material, so all over the Empire indigenous plants were replaced with English grasses to provide the worked up products of pasture - meat, butter, cheese, wool, and hides. In New Zealand this process was carried to an extreme, with forest cleared and swamps drained. How, why and with what consequences did the transformation of New Zealand into these empires of grass occur? 'Seeds of Empire' provides both an exciting appraisal of New Zealand's environmental history and a long overdue exploration of the significance of grass in the processes of sowing empire.

Download or read book Home in the Howling Wilderness written by Peter Holland and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 19th century, New Zealand's South Island underwent an environmental transformation at the hands of European settlers. They diverted streams and drained marshes, burned native vegetation and planted hedges and grasses, stocked farms with sheep and cattle and poured on fertilizer. Through various letter books, ledgers, diaries, and journals, this book reveals how the first European settlers learned about their new environment: talking to Maori and other Pakeha, observing weather patterns and the shifting populations of rabbits, reading newspapers, and going to lectures at the Mechanics' Institute. As the New Zealand environment threw up surprise after surprise, the settlers who succeeded in farming were those who listened closely to the environment. This rich and detailed contribution to environmental history and the literature of British colonial history and farming concludes—contrary to the assertions of some North American environmental historians—that the first generation of European settlers in New Zealand were by no means unthinking agents of change.

Download or read book Assaulting the Past written by Katherine D. Watson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an important contribution to the comparative history of interpersonal violence since the early modern period, a subject of great contemporary and historical importance. Its overarching theme is Norbert Elias’s theory of the civilizing process, and the chapters in the book recognise, as he did, that changes in human behaviour are related to transformations of both social and personality structures. Drawing on a vast range of archival and written records from five countries, the contributors explore the usefulness of the theory—the subject of much debate over the past two decades—to explaining long-term patterns in violence, but also point to the need for further empirical and comparative studies, to reflect current thinking and developments within historical, criminological, and sociological methodologies. In approaching the subject from a variety of perspectives, Assaulting the Past: Violence and Civilization in Historical Context presents a comparative and qualitative assessment of violent behaviour and the experience of violence. Approaches used include the empirical and the theoretical, and the book is strongly interdisciplinary, drawing on the history of crime, history of medicine, criminology and legal history. The volume seeks to offer new insights on violence, the individual and society, to further illuminate the links between state formation, social interdependency and self-discipline that are so integral to the theory of the civilizing process.

Download or read book Gardens at the Frontier written by James Beattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-18 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardens at the Frontier addresses broad issues of interest to architectural historians, environmental historians, garden writers, geographers, and other scholars. It uses different disciplinary perspectives to explore garden history’s thematic, geographical, and methodological frontiers through a focus on gardens as sites of cultural contact. The contributors address the extent to which gardens inhibit or further cultural contact; the cultural translation of garden concepts, practices and plants from one place to another; the role of non-written sources in cultural transfer; and which disciplines study gardens and designed landscapes, and how and why their approaches vary. Chapters cover a range of designed landscapes and locations, periods and approaches: medieval Japanese roji (tea gardens); a seventeenth-century garden of southern China; post-war Australian ‘natural gardens’; iconic twentieth-century American modernist gardens; ‘international’ willow-pattern design; geology and designed landscapes; gnomes; and landscape authorship of a public garden. Each chapter examines transfers of cultural ideas and their physical denouement. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canterbury Old and New, 1850-1900: A Souvenir of the Jubilee It was with the object of helping to make these sons worthy of the task before them that the Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Natives' Association was founded. Our Society concerns itself with everything that is native to New Zealand. Most of its work is necessarily hidden from the public gaze, but from time to time it has come out of its seclusion, and in several ways has given some small idea of the manner in which it endeavours to assist its members. It now appears in a new role. One of its chief aims is to give its members and New Zealanders generally a better knowledge of their native land, and thus to encourage them to take a keener interest in its welfare and advancement. At the present time there seems to be a real desire among all classes of people in Canterbury to learn something more about the lives that men lived immediately before and immediately after the arrival of the first four ships. During the winter our Society has endeavoured to satisfy this desire, to some extent, by arranging lectures on this subject, and it takes the present opportunity of issuing this little book in order that it may appeal to a wider audience than could be contained by the (cur walls of a room.

Download or read book The Forgotten Worker written by John E. Martin and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As New Zealand's agricultural industry developed in the twentieth century, the rural worker – shearer, labourer, musterer – began to disappear from public view. In this fascinating study, John Martin uncovers the lives of these 'forgotten workers', describing their working lives, relationships with employers, living conditions and expectations. Their experiences are brought to life in their own words and a remarkable range of photographs, painting a vivid portrait of a changing world. The Forgotten Worker is also an account of New Zealand's changing rural world, altered by the development of the family farm, the growth of dairying and increased mechanisation.
