THE MAORI AS HE WAS
By ELSDON BEST

Fifty years of public demand since this book was first
published resulted in the need for reprints in 1934 and 1952.
The text has been reproduced unchanged but the originals
of some of the figures could not be traced and these have
been replaced with similar illustrations.

There have been many advances in our knowledge of Maori
life since this book first appeared. The work of numerous
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 back-
ground to old-time Maori life which can be extended by
further reading.

MAORI STOREHOUSES AND KINDRED STRUCTURES
By ELSDON BEST

As an authority on Maori culture, the author has compiled
in this publication a comprehensive record on the use of the
different storage structures, etc., used by the Maori in former
times. By studying items pertaining to Maori technology it is
hoped this will throw light upon many phases of the social life
and customs hitherto unknown.

This bulletin is No. 5 in the Dominion Museum Series.

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.
