Moa
Recreates the life of the moa, a huge flightless bird that lived several thousand years ago in New Zealand.
The Lost World of the Moa
An investigation of the rich and unusual fauna of prehistoric New Zealand, telling of one of the most dramatic extinctions of modern times. The moa, a giant flightless bird, was among the animals lost, the authors summarize what is known about the bird, reconstructing its life and ecology.
Moa
The moa were the most unusual and unique family of birds that ever lived, a clan of feathered monsters that developed in isolation for many, many millions of years. They became extinct reasonably quickly after the arrival of the Maori, and were a distant memory by the time European explorers arrived. So the discovery and identification of their bones in the 1840s was a worldwide sensation, claimed by many to be the zoological find of the century. This book begins by recounting the story of discovery, which was characterised by an unbelievable amount of controversy and intrigue. Since then there has been an unbroken chain of new discoveries, culminating with intriguing revelations in recent years about the moa's biology, that have come to light through DNA testing and radio-dating. This is a fascinating and important book that richly recounts the life and death of our strangest bird. Packed with a fantastic range of illustrations, Moa fills an important gap in our natural history literature, a popular but serious book on this national icon.
Machine Learning for Data Streams
A hands-on approach to tasks and techniques in data stream mining and real-time analytics, with examples in MOA, a popular freely available open-source software framework. Today many information sources—including sensor networks, financial markets, social networks, and healthcare monitoring—are so-called data streams, arriving sequentially and at high speed. Analysis must take place in real time, with partial data and without the capacity to store the entire data set. This book presents algorithms and techniques used in data stream mining and real-time analytics. Taking a hands-on approach, the book demonstrates the techniques using MOA (Massive Online Analysis), a popular, freely availa...
Moa
Following the life of one bird, describes how the moa searched for food, survived natural disasters, found mates and cared for their young. Also discusses their eventual extinction, and includes a summary of facts about the moa.

Moa
This is the story of the controversy and people behind the discovery of the moa. In 1839, on the basis of a single mysterious bone fragment, the English anatomist Richard Owen concluded that it came from an unknown gigantic, flightless bird. Owen's piece of bone is the starting point for this story of personality clashes and scientific intrigue.

Prodigious Birds
Prodigious Birds brings together the entire field of moa-related research, some 150 years of enquiry. The moa was a large flightless bird, hunted into extinction by the Maori tribes of New Zealand before the arrival of Europeans. Atholl Anderson brings an historical perspective to the development of moa research and its formative debates, analytical methods and results, reviewing evidence from palaeontology, biology, archaeology, ethnography and history.
Te Moa
The life and death of New Zealand's unique bird. Everyone knows about the moa: large, flightless and, alas, extinct. But what sort of creature was the moa and how did it live? Why did the moa die out - and when? Did any Europeans ever see one? Puzzled by these intriguing questions, Barney Brewster (author of Antarctica: Wilderness at Risk) delved deep into the mystery of the moa. The result of two years' research, Te Moa presents some surprising findings in an easy, readable style.
