ECONOMICS OF THE NEW ZEALAND MAORI
By Raymond Firth
519 p. 1972. $8.75
The Maori people are honourably known far outside the confines of their New Zealand home. Acknowledged to be one of the finest of the native races within the British Commonwealth they have long been celebrated for their splendid physical appearance, their proud bearing, their aristocratic spirit, their fluent oratory, and above all for their prowess in war. This book contains an account of the social and economic organisation of the Maori people before the organisation was transformed by contact with Western civilisation. It is a major scientific contribution to economic anthropology and has now become a standard work.

EDUCATIONAL PLANNING IN NEW ZEALAND
432 p. 1974. $7.50
This book contains the papers presented at a seminar on educational planning held at Victoria University of Wellington from 14 to 19 May 1972. This seminar was intended to lay the foundation for later seminars which would probe education problems in depth. Three main themes were chosen for the seminar, “Educational planning in its relation to national economic planning”, “Planning the structure and content of education”, and “Information and techniques for educational planning”. Edited by W. L. Renwick and L. J. Ingham, this book will interest a wide range of people.

THE EFFECTS OF RACE AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS ON JUVENILE OFFENDING STATISTICS
31 p. 1975. $1
This report examines the extent to which the difference in European and non-European offending rates reflects variations in the socio-economic distributions of the two populations. The results indicate that, while a substantial proportion of the difference in offending rates for the two racial groups can be attributed to socio-economic factors, the larger part of this difference cannot be accounted for in this way. Both the theoretical and the practical implications of this finding are discussed. (Research Unit, Joint Committee on Young Offenders.)

EFFECTIVE DISCUSSION

Although originally written for staff training purposes in the Public Service, this booklet became popular with outside organisations as a guide to the conduct of meetings. It describes planning and organising both large and small group discussions and contains many useful hints which will help the discussion leader to get the best out of his group, whether he is an old hand or a novice at leading discussion. Also included are lists of books for further reading and recommended films. (State Services Commission.)
