The Little Theatre
The Little Theatre at Christchurch's Canterbury (University) College exerted a profound influence in the development of repertory and professional theatre in New Zealand and launched national and international tours that were seen by tens of thousands of people on both sides if the Tasman. This book offers insights into the life and work of two giants of the theatre, professor of education James Shelley, who founded the Little Theatre in 1927, and crime novelist Ngaio Marsh, who breathed new life into it in the 1940s.
New Zealand Society
New Zealand Society introduces the reader to a sociological understanding of contemporary New Zealand society. Sociology is a discipline which offers new and critical insights on the way in which society works. It provides an exciting area of study, and the best of New Zealand sociology is provided here as specialist contributors discuss their particular areas of interest: family, community, urban, rural, class, racism and ethnicity, gender, the state, social policy, health, education, politics, the media, crime and deviance, work, leisure, arts and population.

It contains material which is easily understood and it covers all the major areas and issues of contemporary society.

Creese expands her scope to include the contributions of 19th- and early 20th-century women of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. The women whose lives and work are discussed here range from natural history collectors and scientific illustrators of the early and mid years of the 19th century to the first generation of graduates of the new colonial colleges and universities.
