THE CHANGING VEGETATION OF MOLESWORTH
STATION NEW ZEALAND 1944-1971
NEW ZEALAND DEPARTMENT OF SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL
RESEARCH, BULLETIN 217
118 p. 1976. $4.50
Totalling 700 square miles, the broad expanse of high altitude
Crown land known as Molesworth Station is the largest
single farm unit in New Zealand. In 1938, after 70 years of
leasehold farming the Molesworth and Tarndale runs reverted
to the Crown in a badly depleted state. This is an account
of the recovering of the land at Molesworth for productive
farming and should prove very interesting and informative
to all high country farmers.

CONSERVING NEW ZEALAND'S HERITAGE
By P. H. C. Lucas
94 p. 1970. $1.40
In 1969 Mr Lucas went on a study tour of national parks
and allied areas in Canada and the United States. On his
return to New Zealand he wrote this report as a suggested
guideline for national parks and reserves administrators. Many
of the problems experienced by older countries could be
avoided by a careful study of their mistakes and with this in
mind Mr Lucas has concluded each section with a summary
of lessons for New Zealand. Not only of interest to the general
public but also to park administrators and planners, tourist
promoters, historians, and archaeologists.

417 p. 1974 reprint. $7.25
In this study of crime, the object is to provide not only
statistical information but to describe the administrative
procedures and law. This book is not just a colourless official
document. The authors compiled the text with the intention
of making it interesting to all readers. A well balanced
publication aimed at giving the reader a clear insight into
law in New Zealand. (Department of Justice.)

CROWN COLONY GOVERNMENT IN NEW ZEALAND
By A. H. McLintock
475 p. illustrated. 1958. $4.50
This book, which deals with a little known and understood
period of New Zealand history, comprises three distinct
sections, first, the Coming of Sovereignty; secondly, Men and
Government; and thirdly, the Evolution of a Constitution.
While this book will be of special interest to New Zealanders
it will command a wider audience since it contains much that
is new with respect to British colonial policy in the first half
of the nineteenth century.

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 Com-
monwealth 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 Welling-
ton 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.

EFFECTIVE DISCUSSION
52 p. $1.15
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.)
