270x195mm,319pp

The first book published by the Fleet Air Arm Museum of New Zealand. The author; David Allison, is the curator of that museum. During WWII over 1200 young New Zealand men, ages 18-25, volunteered to fly for the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy. Few of them had flown before or ad seen an aircraft-carrier. They know nothing of the aircraft they would fly in the war, and had not the vaguest idea of how they would land them on the deck of a pitching and rolling carrier. All they want was to fly. This book details the flying careers of the 760 men who graduated as trained pilots, observers and airgunners.

DoP 2007, Amsterdam

While the world seems to be getting ever smaller and globalization has become the ubiquitous buzz-word, regionalism and fragmentation also abound. This might be due to the fact that, far from being the alleged production of cultural homogeneity, the global is constantly re-defined and altered through the local. This tension, pervading much of contemporary culture, has an obvious special relevance for the new varieties of English and the literature published in English world-wide. Postcolonial literatures exist at the interface of English as a hegemonic medium and its many national, regional and local competitors that transform it in the new English literatures. Thus any exploration of a globalization of cultures has to take into account the fact that culture is a complex field characterized by hybridization, plurality, and difference. But while global or transnational cultures may allow for a new ... more

Knights Down Under: The Knights of Labour in New Zealand

order quantity

NZ$ 150.00 each

Hardback

Author: Robert E. Weir

Customer Order Reference:

DoP 2009, UK
272pp

In the United States, the Knights of Labour (KOL) is part of the wreckage of labor history, a nineteenth-century organization of great promise that flamed out quickly and completely. Many scholars (wrongly) see it as little more than a failed experiment that stumbled due to misplaced idealism and antiquated notions of fraternalism. In New Zealand, the KOL's story was strikingly different, achieving tremendous success in a remarkably short time. "Knights Down Under" takes an in-depth look at the organization in New Zealand, and is the first thorough comparative study of the KOL in global context. It calls into question assumptions about the newness of globalism, national exceptionalism, the uniqueness of socialist movements, how social movements develop, the nature of leadership, and the possibilities and challenges of transnational organizing. The KOL was the first labour federation to envision itself as an ... more

Male figure in the art of John.Z.Robinson

order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each

Paperback

Author: Brent Coutts

Customer Order Reference:

DoP 2009,

The just-published 176 page 'The Male Figure in the Art of John Z. Robinson' by Brent Coutts, Peter Graczer, and Malcolm Templeton is a well-produced, retrospective look at the life and work of the Dunedin painter - as seen through his paintings and sketches of male nudes.
The book is copiously and beautifully illustrated. It draws on Robinsons works from the early 1980s to the present day and is an attempt to explain just where Robinson has come from and where, perhaps, he is going.
Homosexuality is central to Robinson's work – or at least these particular works. The leading essay by Brent Coutts unearths Robinson's gay history in terms of his depiction of the male nude.

DoP November 2009, NZ

The New Zealand Law Style Guide provides an authoritative and unified framework of styles used by New Zealand’s courts, law schools, legal practitioners and legal publishers.
This project is supported by the New Zealand Law Foundation.Up to the publication of this guide, New Zealand has never had a national legal style and citation guide. Each of the law schools has had its own guide. Each of the three main legal publishers in the country has had its own in-house guide. Most judges have been permitted to use their own idiosyncratic methods of legal style and citation. The Court of Appeal and Supreme Court did eventually, in 2004, adopt style guides, but unfortunately they differed!
