INVESTMENT ISSUE
By Donald T. Brash, et al.
NEW ZEALAND PLANNING COUNCIL No. 16.
86 p. 1980. $6.75 plus 70c p & p
Recently, investment has been very low, compared with that
prevailing from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s. If we are
to take advantage of the opportunities for development before
us, there will have to be a resurgence of fixed investment for
the next few years. It is needed in plant, machinery, and
equipment for the development of our energy resources.

JOINT COMMITTEE REPORTS ON YOUNG
OFFENDERS
1975.
Resulting from a major longitudinal study into the social
adjustment of New Zealand boys, the following reports seek
to answer the question: "To what extent is it possible to
predict from specific information collected at the age of ten
those boys who will later become delinquent or show other
signs of maladjustments".

LAND ALONE ENDURES
DSIR Discussion Paper No. 3
286 p. 1980. $12 plus $1.25 p & p
This discussion document comes at the start of a decade of
significant national development and, hence, of changes in
land use. "Land use" like "Energy" will be of key importance
during the 1980s as New Zealand moves to diversify its
primary production, develop its resources of minerals and
energy, and conserve its flora and fauna.

LAND USE POLICIES
STUDIES IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: NO. 21
185 p. 1976. $5 plus 45c p & p
Land Use Policies is an up-to-the-minute publication resulting
from the NZIPA Convention of 1975. Contributors include
the Hon. D. MacIntyre, then Minister of Maori Affairs and
Agriculture; the Parliamentary Under-Secretary to the Ministers of Agriculture, Forests, Lands, and Science for the previous Government; the Commissioner for the Environment; the
Assistant Director-General of Lands; the Head of the Urban
Research Unit of Canberra; and many others. Topics range
from land tenure systems to the history of the development
of land use policies to the public acquisition of land for urban
development. To assist readers each contribution is accompanied by a short summary. In addition most are also followed
by a commentary and an edited record of the convention discussion of the paper.

MOA-HUNTER PERIOD OF MAORI CULTURE
ROGER DUFF—CANTERBURY MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 1
436 p. 3rd edition, 1977. $17.50 plus $1.25 p & p
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.
