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.

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.

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.

MAORI
By Witi Ihimaera
45 p. 1975. $1.20 plus 35c p & p

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 Depart-
ment.)
