The Penguin History of New Zealand
This bestselling book by the late Michael King is the unchallenged contemporary reference on the history of New Zealand.

King Football
This landmark work explores the vibrant world of football from the 1920s through the 1950s, a period in which the game became deeply embedded in American life. Though millions experienced the thrills of college and professional football firsthand during these years, many more encountered the game through their daily newspapers or the weekly Saturday Evening Post, on radio broadcasts, and in the newsreels and feature films shown at their local movie theaters. Asking what football meant to these millions who followed it either casually or passionately, Michael Oriard reconstructs a media-created world of football and explores its deep entanglements with a modernizing American society. Football, claims Oriard, served as an agent of “Americanization” for immigrant groups but resisted attempts at true integration and racial equality, while anxieties over the domestication and affluence of middle-class American life helped pave the way for the sport’s rise in popularity during the Cold War. Underlying these threads is the story of how the print and broadcast media, in ways specific to each medium, were powerful forces in constructing the football culture we know today.
Fisheries Biology, Assessment and Management
This excellent second edition of Fisheries Biology, Assessment and Management, has been fully updated and expanded, providing a book which is an essential purchase for students and scientists studying, working or researching in fisheries and aquatic sciences.

In addition, the ecosystems that support coastal marine species are threatened by habitat destruction, development and pollution. Open access policies and subsidised fishing are placing seafood in danger of becoming a scarce and very expensive commodity for which ...
Never Ever Before
This is a story that celebrates the individual. Objects, like people, interact differently to one another and with the world according to their perspective. Big wishes he could be carefree and drift away with the wind like Smalls but he is solid and predictable. Talls are wibbly and wobbly and fall over in the wind. A big gust of wind comes along and threatens to take away Big's new friends so he provides shelter for them with his sturdy shape. Suddenly a wind even stronger and bigger comes along and the Smalls start to drift away. The Talls band together to reach the Smalls and Big fi nds, for the fi rst time, that he is drifting feely into the wind with the help of his friends. Never Ever Before is another fresh and whimsical book by Stephen Michael King. Stephen has subtly paid homage to the surrealist and abstract painters of the 20th century demonstrating how shapes create emotion.
