Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this unusual book a number of New Zealand's leading historians write about their own favourite 'historic' places where the past comes alive. Special events or times in our history are linked with their own personal memories and the physical presence of these 'places' today. Anne Salmond muses on her home town of Gisborne, with its rich intersection of Maori and European history. Erik Olssen ponders a lifetime of change in Dunedin; the stories that ooze from its streets and alleyways, brick and bluestone making life here a bit like living in the text of a favourite poem or novel. Jock Phillips visits Wanganui, the 'war memorial capital of the world', musing on how its war memorials sum up the uneasy history of the racial frontier in New Zealand, and what we can learn from them about a society. The fate of the Kiwis at Gallipoli are relived by Ian McGibbon, who walks, we are told, where New Zealand's national identity was forged ninety years ago. 266 pages. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy. The sea may be our highway, but it can charge appallingly high tolls. Our ancestors rightly feared death and destruction at sea. In the last 200 years over 2000 ships have been fatally wrecked on New Zealand shores, sometimes with horrific loss of life. Many more have been salvaged only after epic struggle. In this lively book, leading historian Gavin McLean examines some of New Zealand's most interesting wrecks. In Full Astern he explores some of the iconic wrecks that wrote themselves into New Zealand history: the Orpheus, General Grant, Tararua, Wairarapa, Penguin, Wahine and Mikhail Lermontov. But others will be new to readers, the ordinary, everyday vessels on which New Zealanders depended. Full Astern is a story of terrifying storms, of inhospitable coastlines, of human error, of the malicious hand of fate, and of courtroom dramas as stunned communities picked through the evidence of disaster. It is also testimony to courage, endurance and self-sacrifice such as that displayed by the stewardesses on the Wairarapa who saw to the needs of their passengers with little thought of their own safety. But there is more to wrecks than ships hitting rocks, and in a unique feature, Gavin McLean places maritime risk in its broader context. No dry catalogue of accidents, Full Astern tells how people responded to the challenge of making our coasts safe, a quest that continues in the era of GPS and satellite. More than 300 superb photographs bring alive dramatic days in New Zealand history.…
