GENERAL PUBLICATIONS

THE MAORI AS HE WAS
By Elsdon Best

295 p. 1974 reprint. $6.50
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 know-
ledge 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.

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.

      minerals and their properties, the types of clays available in
      New Zealand and the available natural glazes, frits, and

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, I. 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 Well-
ington. 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. 3rd 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 PARKS OF NEW ZEALAND
178 p. Revised third edition. 1974. $10.50

home library.
