ethnologists, and more recently archaeologists, has critically
examined many of the earlier concepts, confirming some,
disproving others, and altering others to varying degrees.
No one has yet produced a synthesis of the results of all
this scholarship and there is still nothing as comprehensive
as this book of Best's to give a general account of the Maori.
This book was first published when Best was 68 and thus
represents the accumulated knowledge of a lifetime. It has
now become a classic introduction to Maori life. Its continued
availability should help the reader to obtain a basic background
to old-time Maori life which can be extended by
further reading.

METRICS FOR JOHN AND JANE CITIZEN
By JAMES McGILL WEBB
As the name implies this book is written for use by the
layman rather than the technician, the engineer or the
scientist. This book does not include conversion tables but
rather relates to metric units and their use, comparisons
of size, and includes a wide range of metric information.
How big is a litre? What is a kilopascal? When will I
use a centimetre? What will I buy in kilograms? Why is
New Zealand going metric? If these and similar questions
are causing you concern, this book will provide the answers.
