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.

$7.50

DIRECTIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
A REPORT PREPARED BY THE ADVISORY COUNCIL ON EDUCATIONAL PLANNING
141 p. 1975. $2.50
This report marks the culmination of the activities of the Educational Development Conference. The Advisory Council has recommended the directions it considers New Zealand education should go in the next 5 or 10 years.
Five principal areas are identified as requiring attention. Education is seen as a lifelong activity, and emphasis is therefore placed on the “foundations”—early childhood education, the school curriculum and special provisions for special needs, and parent education.
A key to the quality of education is the people involved in it. Teacher education, the availability of advisory and ancillary staff, as well as resources for materials and research, have a chapter devoted to them.
Since education is seen as a lifelong activity, this is considered at some length. Facets such as accessibility, transfer of credits, and the role of existing institutions are discussed, together with ways in which continuing education could be provided for the whole community.
In discussing the administration and organisation of education the principle followed is the maximum devolution of authority and responsibility to the agencies and the community, as for instance, school committee and district level.

DISEASES OF TREE FRUITS IN NEW ZEALAND
By J. D. Atkinson (Plant Diseases Division)
INFORMATION SERIES No. 81
406 p. 183 illustrations. $7.50
A summary of current knowledge, including a considerable amount of previously unrecorded information. It is written primarily for advisory officers, students, and growers, and no attempt has been made to give full descriptions of the bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

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.

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 discussions. Also included are lists of books for further reading and recommended films. (State Services Commission.)
