GENERAL PUBLICATIONS

LIVING LETTERS
STATE SERVICES COMMISSION

36 p. 1980 reprint. $1.75 plus 45c p & p
One of the aims in letter writing is to get ideas across to the reader clearly and briefly. But do letters always say what is meant? Even if they are clear to the writer, will the reader understand them easily? If you are still using the old clichés of "acknowledging receipt of", "according to our records", and "enclosed please find" it is almost certainly time to change your attitude to writing living letters.

MAORI
By Witi Ihimaera

45 p. 1975. $1.20 plus 35c p & p
A colourful booklet describing the coming of the Maori to New Zealand, his history, heritage, folklore, beliefs, and cultural unity.

Each chapter has a quotation from a Maori proverb, phrase, saying, or canoe chant and these concepts are presented in words and pictures.

Continues with the arrival of the pakeha and the pattern of events which followed, the Treaty of Waitangi and the Land Wars. Moves on to the Maori today, finishing with the theme, one country, two heritages in unity.

Well illustrated with 64 coloured photos, of interest to all New Zealanders and tourists. (Tourist and Publicity Department.)

MAORI AGRICULTURE
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 9

315 p. 1976. $13.50 plus $1.25 p & p
The only comprehensive study of Maori agriculture available, this bulletin adds a further volume to the series of Elsdon Best's works which the Government Printer undertook to reprint preserving the original text and bulletin numbers. I recommend this book and the series as a whole; to collectors, archaeologists, and to those studying the prehistoric economy of the Maori people. (Government Printer.)

THE MAORI AS HE WAS
By Elsdon Best

295 p. 1974 reprint. $6.50 plus 70c p & p
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 knowledge 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.

THE MAORI CANOE
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 7

451 p. 1976. $17.50 plus $1.25 p & p
A reprinted edition without textual alterations and retaining the old Dominion Museum number. Another example of Elsdon Best's dedicated effort to preserve Maori culture. The material presented on canoes, their materials, types, methods of construction, and associated artifacts make interesting reading for the layman as well as for scholars of the Maori. (Government Printer.)

MAORI STOREHOUSES AND KINDRED STRUCTURES
By Elsdon Best

116 p., illustrated. 1974 reprint. $6.50 plus 70c p & p
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.

BULLETIN 213

61 p. $8.50 plus 70c p & p
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 Wellington. 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.
