Download or read book The Ivory Tower and Beyond written by Susan Cochrane and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a tradition of “participant history” among historians of the Pacific Islands, unafraid to show their hands on issues of public importance and risking controversy to make their voices heard. This book explores the theme of the participant historian by delving into the lives of J.C. Beaglehole, J.W. Davidson, Richard Gilson, Harry Maude and Brij V. Lal. They lived at the interface of scholarship and practical engagement in such capacities as constitutional advisers, defenders of civil liberties, or upholders of the principles of academic freedom. As well as writing history, they “made” history, and their excursions beyond the ivory tower informed their scholarship. Doug Munro’s sympathetic engagement with these five historians is likewise informed by his own long-term involvement with the sub-discipline of Pacific History.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For readers who identify with nature conservation in New Zealand, many of the stories in this book will evoke a sympathetic appeal and a common understanding. 'Elisabeth's Story' explains a pioneering New Zealand woman's personal, life-long connection to Kiwi conservation after the manner of the French peasant of author Jean Giono's famous short story 'The Man Who Planted Trees.' 'For the Love of Birds' sets an enchanting theme where personal stories are interspersed by appeals for intelligent reasoning when interpreting nature events. In a surprise fictional contribution, guest writer Jean-Paul du Pries suggests in 'Chilling Predictions' that in our tragically fractured world, sadly, perhaps not all is as secure for New Zealanders and New Zealand wildlife as we might wish"

Download or read book Changing Times written by Jenny Carlyon and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the &“golden weather&” of postwar economic growth, through the globalization, economic challenges, and protest of the 1960s and 1970s, to the free market revolution and new immigrants of the 1980s and 1990s and beyond, this account, the most complete and comprehensive history of New Zealand since 1945, illustrates the chronological and social history of the country with the engaging stories of real individuals and their experiences. Leading historians Jennifer Carlyon and Diana Morrow discuss in great depth New Zealand's move toward nuclear-free status, its embrace of a small-state, free-market ideology, and the seeming rejection of its citizens of a society known for the &“worship of averages.&” Stories of pirate radio in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf, the first DC8 jets landing at Mangere airport, feminists liberating pubs, public protests over the closing of post offices, and indigenous language nests vividly demonstrate how a postwar society famous around the world for its dull conformity became one of the most ethnically, economically, and socially diverse countries on earth.
