GENERAL PUBLICATIONS

METRICS FOR JOHN AND JANE CITIZEN
By James McGill Webb
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING SERVICE—DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
48 p. 50c

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.

By T. L. Grant-Taylor, R. D. Adams, T. Hatherton, J. D. G. Milne, R. D. Northey, and W. R. Stephenson of the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research
BULLETIN 213
61 p. $8.50

This report on earthquake microzoning is aimed at dividing extensive areas of Wellington into smaller zones and is intended as a guide only to planning of future redevelopment. The detailed studies of local geology and soil investigations have resulted in an Earthquake Microzone Map of Wellington. This map accompanies this publication. This report is the first one of a series. Later it is the intention to microzone other areas in the same way.

MOA-HUNTER PERIOD OF MAORI CULTURE
ROGER DUFF—CANTERBURY MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 1
436 p. Third edition. 1977. $17.50

This book deals with the most important site yet investigated and in its discussions it traverses most of the New Zealand archaeological field.

A chance discovery in 1939 by a 13-year-old boy revealed the grave of a chief in the gravels of the Wairau boulder bank. The grave, goods, and bones of the ancient chief, prone in his gravel grave, with skull directed towards the setting sun, spoke with more authority regarding his race than the distorted memories of Maori tradition.

Although scholarly and technical, the book sustains throughout the drama of this archaeological discovery, and recreates from the evidence of bone and stone the life of our first Polynesians in the Moa-hunter period of Maori culture.

NATIONAL MUSEUM MONOGRAPHS

Elsdon Best (1856–1931), who was a member of the staff of the then Dominion Museum from 1911 to 1931, made a notable contribution to the study of Maori ethnology. After a lifetime of experience, including many years in close contact with the Maoris of the Urewera, he spent the last 20 years of his life writing particularly of the social customs and beliefs of the Maori people. There is still a demand for the many monographs written by Elsdon Best and the following titles have been reprinted without alteration to the original text (National Museum) :

No. 1. Some Aspects of Maori Myth and Religion. 43 p. ................. 1.00
No. 2. Spiritual and Mental Concepts of the Maori. 57 p. ............... 1.00
No. 3. Astronomical Knowledge of the Maori. 80 p. ................... 75
