Download or read book Historical Dictionary of New Zealand written by Janine Hayward and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diverse elements have created New Zealand’s distinctive political and social culture. First is New Zealand’s journey as a colony, and the various impacts this had on settler and Maori society. The second theme is the quest for what one prominent historian has labelled ‘national obsessions’ – equality and security, both individual and collective. The third, and more recent, theme is New Zealand’s emergence as a nation with a unique identity. New Zealand’s small geographic size and relative isolation from other societies, the dominant influence of British culture, the resurgence of Maori language and culture, the endemic instability of an economy based on a narrow range of pastoral products, and the dominance of the state in the lives of its people, all help to explain much of the present-day New Zealand psyche. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of New Zealand contains a chronology, an introduction, appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about New Zealand.

Download or read book A Dictionary of the New Zealand Language written by William Williams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of the New Zealand Language: To Which Is Added a Selection of Colloquial Sentences It would be a great achievement, if it were possible, to obtain a collection of all known Maori words, with well authenticated examples of genuine Maori usage. This book makes no pretension to any such completeness. The difficulty of the task of collecting words can be fully appreciated by those only who have made trial of it. To make a collection at all approaching to completeness would require the cc-operation of a number of individuals, each working in a different district, for there are many words, which, though well known in one district, may be absolutely unknown in another. Nor is it so easy to procure good illustrative examples as it may be imagined to be. A large number of examples have been taken from the Mythology and Traditions of the New Zea landers edited by Sir G. Grey, and published in London in the year 1854. The numbers appended to many of the examples now given refer to the pages of that work from which they have been taken. The other examples have for the most part either been copied from Maori letters or other writings or they have been taken down on the spot from the lips of Maori speakers. The second part, containing the English and Maori vocabulary has undergone very little alteration. The Colloquial sentences re main as they were before, and the concise Grammar has been omitted altogether, as it may be considered to have been superseded by works which have been subsequently published.
