BALLROOM DANCING

A guide book for teachers and pupils

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

89 p. 1978. $3 plus 55c p & p

Almost all people as they move through their teens to adulthood are introduced to the undoubtedly pleasureable and universal activity, ballroom dancing.

As a new edition to the sports instruction series this book makes an effort to cover the basic steps in a variety of dances. It is intended mainly for beginners and therefore the more technical terms or finer points of turn and footwork are not included.

The book is well illustrated throughout with black and white photos and line drawings.

BEEKEEPING IN NEW ZEALAND

By T. S. Winter

Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Bulletin 267

155 p. 1980 reprint. $8.95 plus 85c p & p

Though fundamental successful beekeeping is the same the world over, the varying seasonal conditions and the variety of nectar sources in different areas mean that the beekeeper must study local conditions and adjust his methods accordingly. Three factors govern success in beekeeping—locality, management, and the right strain of bees. This excellent book covers all aspects of beekeeping in text, photographs, and illustrations.

BLUE WATER RATIONALE

The Naval Defence of New Zealand 1914–1942 by I. C. McGibbon.

446 p. 1981. Illustrated. $45 plus $3.60 p & p

For twenty years the strategic basis of New Zealand's defence policy was "the main fleet to Singapore" strategy—the theory of a properly defended Singapore Naval Base to which adequate British Naval forces would be despatched to defend the Empire East of Suez. In the event Singapore fell to the attacking Japanese forces on 15 February 1942. This book, then, is essentially a study of why New Zealand placed reliance on an unsatisfactory strategy, which was always admitted to be second best to that in which a battle fleet was permanently based in the Pacific.

CARPENTRY

N.Z. TECHNICAL CORRESPONDENCE INSTITUTE

302 p. 1980 (reprint). Illustrated. $22.50 plus $3.60 p & p

Besides providing a basic text for apprentices in the building industry, Carpentry will also provide a sound guide for tradesmen and home-builders.

DIRECTIONS

New Zealand Planning Council No. 18

64 p. 1981. $5.25 plus 85c p & p

The most crucial task for New Zealanders in the 1980's is to break out of the economic stagnation and social malaise which has beset the country since the mid 1970's. The Planning Council believes we can, and must, plan to overcome the causes of the recent high unemployment and net loss of able people.

EFFECTIVE DISCUSSION

52 p. $1.15 plus 40c p & p

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

FISHING METHODS AND DEVICES OF THE MAORI

By Elsdon Best

Dominion Museum Bulletin No. 12

264 p. $15.95 plus $1.50 p & p

Another in the series of the Best publications it has been reprinted without revision so that the basic studies may be accessible in the original style.

This particular bulletin still remains the only comprehensive account of most aspects of Maori fishing. The descriptions of methods employed in fishing given here are still quite basic for any future studies in this field since no first-hand observations can now be made. The detailed fishing methods outlined are accompanied by descriptions of the artifacts used, together with associated chants, magic formulae, special observances, and fishing lore.
