DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Very often, history is thought of as that lesson we suffered through at school, made into boring facts and figures rather than the rich and interesting tales that actually comprise it. In English and British History in 100 Bite-size Chunks, history is enlivened and broken down into readable ‘chunks’ that anyone can read, and learn, at their leisure. Beginning at the beginning, with the physical formation of these lands, it ends where we are now, with our current lifestyle, government, society, beliefs, complexities, fears and hopes. It charts the development of England’s characteristics through the great and the good, and ordinary men and women; those who often get the glory and those who lived lives more hidden from history’s storytellers. It brings to life people, places, events and ideas; and successes and failures. This is not a story of England in splendid isolation but a more rounded picture touching on the influences from and on other places and nations, for good or bad, near and far in geography and time. 100 Bitesize Chunks are followed by a recognition of historic themes and some conclusions, and just a glimpse of the possible future history of a nation. A commentary on history itself, how we know, how ‘history works’, what we think of it, and how we care for it – or don’t care for it, this book is an encouragement to study history actively through the evidence we can see and touch and interpret, in museums and in its real locations. Ideal for anyone returning to history or for an enthusiast!

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The first book in a major two-volume general New Zealand history, now published in paperback. Along with its companion volume Paradise Reforged, this book has been hailed as redefining New Zealand history. Making Peoples is an account of how two huge, fertile, uninhabited Pacific islands became the focus of intensive human settlement, first by the Polynesians and then much later by the British. The book aims to cahllenge both Maori and Paheka' traditions and create a new interpretation of their self-images and their highly complex, often brutal interaction.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book takes a new look at New Zealand's past. The result is an impeccable reference work that doubles as a great read that is ideal for dipping. Significant events in New Zealand history are recorded strictly in chronological order, with the precise date (day and month) given wherever possible. A comment explaining the significance of the event, and adding colour and interest, is also included. There is an extensive index. The reader can use the book in two ways: 1. As a reference book confirming precise dates of known events. 2. As a general read that gives a flavour of the times at any particular point in New Zealand history. The book includes short chapter introductions covering one or more decades at a time, giving an overview of the period as well as mentioning overseas events. The main substance of the book contains NZ historical events, dated and described. Coverage starts in prehistory and ends at 1990. It includes occasional contemporary images of specific events or days. As a reliable source of information it should become a fixture in every library in the country, useful to schoolchildren, students and historians. It will also have a place in the large general market for books about NZ history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from History of New Zealand, Vol. 1 At one time it was hoped that several persons of great ability and high character, who had amassed much recorded information and had lived long in New Zealand, would combine the results and give them to the world. But that hope has vanished. I learned from one of them, who went to New Zealand in 1839, and lives there now, that on the occasion of a visit to Europe he abandoned the idea of publication, and destroyed his manuscripts. The failure of that project, and encouragement from those concerned in it, embolden me to present the following narrative compiled with a diligent endeavour to test every statement by reference to the most authentic sources of information.
