Book
Octavo,244 pp.,photographs, softcover. Images of pristine forests, mountain ranges, untameable rivers and empty expanses of untouched coastline are the key attraction in how Aotearoa New Zealand is promoted internationally. Such wildness is at this nation's psychological and physical core. This book searches for an understanding of 'the wild', of what makes wilderness such an important part of our psyche. The seventeen essays come from trampers, scientists, conservationists, policy-makers, photographers, historians, and writers. Together they examine many aspects of the idea of wilderness. What could wilderness in Aotearoa New Zealand become, and, consequently, what might we its people also become?.

But he was a national celebrity for his opinions, as the clippings from papers outside the Bay scattered through this collection and his widely published obituary notices demonstrate. One correspondent to the Wanganui Herald in January 1882, similarly sympathetic to the plight of Maori, tellingly signed himself, 'COLENSO'S GHOST.' The letters reproduced in this book are all that can be found at present. As well, some other newspaper items have been included if they threw light on the more obscure letters."

Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 208 pages. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 240 x 190mm. Illustrated. Essays by various contributors. "This book looks at a range of New Zealand photographs up to 1918 and analyses them as photo-objects, considering how they were made, who made them, what they show and how our understanding of them can vary or change over time. This emphasis on the materiality of the photograph is a new direction in scholarship on colonial photographs. The writers include photographers, museum curators, academics and other researchers. Their essays are not intended as definitive readings but rather offer a variety of ways in which to read the images they have chosen. In the course of the book, they explore a host of issues related to the development of photography in New Zealand.".
