Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Gold Discoveries in New Zealand In point of sensational effect, Otago was the first of the old provinces to appeal effectively to tho world. It was to Otago that the first real rush came from the other side, so famous for rushes. But few people in New Zealand are aware that the first discoveries in this country were made in Auckland, and that in the very year of the great discoveries that made a new epoch for the Australian Continent. Hargreaves was thought to have awakened by his finds at Bathurst only the sleeping spirits of the world of gold imprisoned in the rocks and gravels of Ballarat and Bendigo. Who does not remember the impressive picture of Farjeon, who imagined these spirits roused from their Blumber of ages by the sound of tho advancing picket? "Click, click, click," as they came nearer and nearer; and as they heard, the spirits grew wilder and wilder, welcoming the hour of their deliverance, ready to sweep into the fields of light and motion. What those fields were, what forces of energy and power were let loose, what vast changes were effected in the fate of the great continent by the side of the Tasman Sea, what fortunes were made and lost - these things and the tremendous changes they brought in their fervid train are part of another story - the story of the transmutation of Australia. It is one of the most striking stories in the history of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Authored by award-winning historian Jock Phillips, The History of New Zealand in 100 Objects is gripping, inclusive, often revelatory and deeply human. A colourful and characterful retelling of our shared past, relevant to today, particular to all of us. The sewing kete of an unknown 18th-century Maori woman; the Endeavour cannons that fired on waka in 1769; the bagpipes of an Irish publican Paddy Galvin; the school uniform of Harold Pond, a Napier Tech pupil in the Hawke’s Bay quake; the Biko shields that tried to protect protestors during the Springbok tour in 1981; Winston Reynolds’ remarkable home-made Hokitika television set, the oldest working TV in the country; the soccer ball that was a tribute to Tariq Omar, a victim of the Christchurch Mosque shootings, and so many more – these are items of quiet significance and great personal meaning, taonga carrying stories that together represent a dramatic, full-of-life history for everyday New Zealanders.

Download or read book The History of Mining written by Michael Coulson and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE INDUSTRY THAT FORGED THE MODERN WORLD Throughout history metals and raw materials have underpinned human activity. So it is that the industry responsible for extracting these materials from the ground - mining - has been ever present throughout the history of civilisation, from the ancient world of the Egyptians and Romans, to the industrial revolution and the British Empire, and through to the present day, with mining firms well represented on the world's most important stock indexes including the FTSE100. This book traces the history of mining from those early moments when man first started using tools to the present day where metals continue to underpin economic activity in the post industrial age. In doing so, the history of mining methods, important events, technological developments, the important firms and the sparkling personalities that built the industry are examined in detail. At every stage, as the history of mining is traced from 40,000BC to the present day, the level of detail increases in accordance with the greater social and industrial developments that have played out as time has progressed. This means that a particular focus is given to the period since the industrial revolution and especially the 20th century. A look is also taken into the future in an effort to chart the direction this great industry might take in years to come. Many books have been written about mining; the majority have focused on a particular metal, geographical area, mining event or mining personality, but 'The History of Mining' has a broader scope and covers all of these essential and fascinating areas in one definitive volume.
