A History of Gardening in New Zealand

order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each

Paperback

Author: Bee Dawson

Customer Order Reference:

An Englishman's home is his castle, but for the first European settlers who came to New Zealand, their first priority was to create a productive and, later, ornamental garden. Bee Dawson traces the development of gardening in New Zealand, from the Maori gardens of pre - and early contact times through the optimistic efforts of missionaries and the other early settlers, the magnificence and productivity of the Victorians and Edwardians and the Dig for Victory campaigns of the 1940s. Illustrated throughout with historic photographs, paintings and ephemera, Dawson's lively writing style brings to life the successes and failures and the sense of achivement felt by New Zealand gardeners through the years, as they coaxed plenty and beauty from a new earth. This book is both beautiful to look at and a delight to read.

Alamein

Author: Iain Gale

Customer Order Reference:

DoP September 2009, NZ
Softcover

The Battle of El Alamein was Churchill's 'end of the beginning' of the Second World War. Until this point in 1942, the Allies were struggling against the might of the German army and the assembled Axis powers. The war looked hopeless. But the battle of El Alamein would change everything. A bloody, messy battle, it would cost the lives of 70,000 men. But it was a battle where the Allied forces, made up of British, Australian, New Zealander, South African and Indian troops, fought to the very end in a furious attack on the enemy. It was a decisive victory. Indeed, Churchill stated that 'Before Alamein, we had no victory and after it we had no defeats.' In this novel, Iain Gale takes the battle from the viewpoints of several men and brings to life the battle which was to become the turning point of the Second World War.

Art That Moves : The Work of Len Lye (with DVD of films and sculptures)

order quantity

NZ$ 60.00 each

Mixed-media pack

Author: Roger Horrocks

Customer Order Reference:

'Kinetic art is the first new category of art since prehistory', ex-pat New Zealand artist Len Lye boldly claimed in an essay in 1964. What did he mean by this? And how does his own work in sculpture and film bear it out? In The Art of Motion: The Work of Len Lye Roger Horrocks, the author of the best-selling 2001 biography of Lye, explores these questions. He describes the forerunners of this 'art that moves', then discusses in detail Lye's life and career as a kinetic artist, how he developed and envisioned his 'tangible motion sculptures' and how many of these are being realised only now, after his death. Lye himself wrote extensively about kinetic art; one chapter focuses on his theories about 'the art of motion', and relates these back to his practice as an artist. Horrocks concludes by discussing how Lye's ideas can be applied to other works and how they are relevant today. The Art of Motion includes a DVD containing a short ... more

Changing Pace : A memoir

order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each

Paperback

Author: Sir Richard Hadlee

Customer Order Reference:

This memoir recounts the last few years of Sir Richard Hadlee's cricketing career before describing the tumultuous period in his life that followed his retirement. He describes the way in which his life, once so successful and full of high achievement, was suddenly shattered as he experienced a debilitating heart attack that led to major surgery, and shortly afterwards his marriage of twenty-two years disintegrated and came to a painful end. He then describes how, with the help of the woman who was to become his new wife he picked up the pieces and created a new life, first as a cricket ambassador and commentator, and then as the chairman of selectors for New Zealand Cricket. If he had hoped that at that point his life might become smoother sailing he soon found that being a cricket selector brought with it fresh challenges and exposed him to close scrutiny and criticism from the media.
