THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT CONFERENCE 1970
REPORTS, PAPERS, AND PROCEEDINGS
$2.75
This document on the physical environment will not only prove useful to students and teachers alike, but will renew interest in national and international environmental matters. Although for some the delay in this publication’s becoming available may seem to have diminished its usefulness this is not the case. It provides an opportunity to re-examine New Zealand’s situation. The questions that should be asked are: what action has been taken on the recommendations since the conference, has anything changed at all? This book on the conference covers all aspects of the environment and is an ideal reference source.

PLANTS IN NEW ZEALAND POISONOUS TO MAN
By Jose Stewart. Revised by H. E. Connor
39 p. 1975. $2.25
This revised edition of Mrs Stewart’s book, which was first published in 1964, is a handy colourful guide to the 50 or more plants in New Zealand known or suspected to be toxic to man. The plants are listed in alphabetical order by their common names and each entry has a colour photograph identifying the poisonous part of the plant, the toxin, and the symptoms of poisoning are also given. Plants that are toxic if eaten, and touch irritants are dealt with in separate sections. A general instruction on what to do if poisoning occurs or is suspected is featured prominently at the beginning of the book for ready access in emergency. The material in the booklet is useful, succinct, and attractively presented. Although it has wide appeal generally, it is particularly valuable to parents of the young and curious.

POLICIES FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN NEW ZEALAND
Edited by G. A. Town
124 p. $2.50
In this book, the authors discuss the criteria which they feel should determine any sound policies in the field of regional planning and development.

Essentially, it is for New Zealanders to consider all the relevant factors and decide what pattern of development they wish to see emerge. This book is intended as a constructive contribution to the public debate currently under way. Series No. 17. (New Zealand Institute of Public Administration.)
