Download or read book The Big Smoke written by Ben Schrader and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Unlike in Europe, North America, Australia and elsewhere, urban history has never been sustained as a distinct field of scholarship in New Zealand. This is surprising, considering that since the early twentieth century most New Zealanders have lived in towns and cities – 86 per cent were urban in 2014. Yet we know surprisingly little about these urban dwellers and the spaces in which they lived.' The pursuit of city life is one of the most important untold stories of New Zealand. The Big Smoke is the first comprehensive history to tell this story, presenting a dynamic and highly illustrated account of city life from 1840 to 1920. It explores such questions as: what did cities look like and how did they change; why were women especially drawn to live in cities; in what ways did Māori experience and shape cities; how far was the street a living room and stage for city life; and why did New Zealand so quickly become a nation of townspeople? At a time of national debate over housing and the growth of our cities, Ben Schrader’s superb new history reveals how our urban origins have shaped the people we are today.

Download or read book Wellington written by Redmer Yska and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2006 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wellington: Biography of a City explores in fascinating and vivd detail the life and times of a city at the heart of our nation. Starting with the raw-boned settlement era, this book examines over 170 years of civic history - how Wellington's founders weathered stormy fortunes and shaped its destiny. After becoming the capital in 1865, the so-called 'Empire City' eased into a century of prosperity as a commercial, political and transport crossroards, forming the city as we know it today. We examine how Wellington responded to the massive social and economic upheavals of the twentieth century: the deadly 1918 flu epidemic, the Great Depression, strikes and protests, world wars and Beatlemania. Through humble and sometimes tumultuouse times, modern-day Wellington has reinvented itself as a 'creative capital' - a vibrant and dynamic centre buoyed by the arts, tourism and film-making; a product of its lively and often-disputed past.

Download or read book Katherine Mansfield The Early Years written by Gerri Kimber and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first biography of Katherine Mansfields early years since 1933Focusing on the first nineteen years of Katherine Mansfields life, from her birth in 1888 to her arrival in London in 1908 to be a writer, this new biography sheds new light on Mansfields childhood and teenage years as well as on her development as a writer.The biography draws extensively on previously unused archive material, including the research papers assembled by Ruth Elvish Mantz for her 1933 biography of Mansfield, detailed reminiscences of former school friends and acquaintances, Mansfields autograph book, birthday book, her early letters, notebooks and family papers. Using this rich seam of material, Gerri Kimber explores Mansfields home life and school days, her friendships, first infatuations and sexual experimentation both with young men and young women and her travels through the volcanic North Island of New Zealand and examines her earliest published stories which appeared in school magazines. What emerges is a picture of a feisty, mischievous, young girl and an expressive, non-conformist teenager: the unruly Kass Beauchamp who became Katherine Mansfield, the famous modernist writer.Key Features Brings to light a period of Mansfields life previously of little interest to biographersPresents a new image of Mansfield as a child and young womanReveals how her youthful experiences fashioned both her later personality and the content of much of her acclaimed adult writingDiscussion of the biographical elements present in Mansfields New Zealand stories
