Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legend of Te Hokioi, the extinct giant eagle of New Zealand, leads Peter Walker from a Canterbury sheep run to the Rare Books Room of the British Library and to &‘ sacred' Raiatea in Polynesia, as he uncovers the story of the predator which once ruled over the Southern Alps.Was this bird, whose existence was confirmed by scientists only in 2009, the Rukh of Arab legends? Does that mean that medieval Islamic mariners were once blown far into the Pacific, saw the great raptor and made it back home to tell the tale?From the calamitous encounter of South Island Maori with colonisation to the glories of tenth-century Baghdad, Hard by the Cloud House is a heady mix of history, memoir, science and mythology.
Book Synopsis The Forgotten Worker by : John E. Martin
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.

Book Synopsis The Farm At Black Hills by : Beverley Forrester
Download or read book The Farm At Black Hills written by Beverley Forrester and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging woman-against-the-odds story about an entrepreneurial South Island sheep farmer. When Beverley Forrester’s beloved husband Jim died unexpectedly, not only did she have to deal with her grief, but she suddenly had a farm to run too. Although she had grown up in a farming family, she herself had trained and worked as an occupational therapist for many years. So there was a lot to learn and new tasks to undertake – not least the need to win the trust of Jim’s loyal farm workers and the community in the close-knit North Canterbury area. She set to work, and with the help of those around her, she learned to farm, and has also developed a successful brand of natural coloured, undyed, chemical-free yarns sold internationally, and her own fashion label, which debuted at New Zealand Fashion Week. Resilient, big-hearted, entrepreneurial and determined, Beverley Forrester is a treasure and this is her delightful and engaging story. It’s also the story of North Canterbury’s beautiful Hurunui district, and the pioneers who built it.
Download or read book Newlands written by Gary Langford and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REYNOLDS UPDIKE soldier, farmer, car salesman, electrical goods manufacturer, lover, father and living treasure, reflected in the declining years of his century as a splendid cook in a womens refuge, a poet and even a dog. Through two wars and two depressions, from the mind of Gallipoli by way of the Jazz Age to a brave new world of market forces, an unmistakable voice describes the fears and passions of this extraordinary human being. Reynolds leaves his imprint on everyone from ordinary people to royalty until he raises his glass to us all as an unburdened and unforgettable man. Newlands is one of the outstanding novels of New Zealand literature, reflected in being broadcast by Radio New Zealand repeatedly in the nineties when it first appeared, along with chapter one being published by the Australian newspaper. This is a novel that draws on historical and personal events as intimate studies of us all. Randy, opinionated, unscrupulous but above all loving Reynolds Updike leads us to the eve of his second one hundred years on this planet. Will he get there? Newlands is a comic tour-de-force of a beautifully written novel. Gary Langford makes it impossible for the reader not to care in this ageless work.

Book excerpt: Many New Zealanders have a surveyor or two in their family tree but very little has been written about the literally hundreds of surveyors who were working in New Zealand in the nineteenth century.

They were often faced with inaccessible forests, snow-clad mountains, fearsome rivers or native resistance. Caught Mapping is a social history, embroidered with domestic incident and the colour of the days.
