    • New Zealand was the last country in the world to be discovered and settled by humankind. It was also the first to introduce a full democracy. Between those events, and in the century that followed the franchise, the movements and the conflicts of human history have been played out more intensively and more rapidly in New Zealand than anywhere else on Earth. This title tells that story in all its colour and drama. The narrative that emerges is an inclusive one about men and women, Maori and Pakeha. It shows that British motives in colonizing New Zealand were essentially humane; and that Maori, far from being passive victims of a "fatal impact", coped heroically with colonization and survived by selectively accepting and adapting what Western technology and culture had to offer. The latter part of the book reveals how an insulated and dependent British colony transformed itself into an independent nation, open to and competing with technological and cultural influences sweeping the globe.

      This book outlines an exercise programme based on Joseph Pilates' original methods. It comprises a series of low-impact, muscle-strengthening movements that should result in toned limbs, better posture and increased back strength. Using exercises that would be followed in the studio with a personal trainer, the movements are structured so as to allow you to work on the areas that you wish to tone. The exercises are tailored so that you can pick the one that suits you - there are low-energy versions that might be suitable for early morning and another version for when you are feeling very strong and want to work harder. The routine has a series of movements aimed at toning your abs, butt and thighs, all clearly marked so that you know which area you are working on with each movement. The tuition is illustrated with step-by-step sequences, allowing the reader to follow a programme at home, or to better understand the routines taught in a more formal class.
