The Residents
For five years, Lucy Revill interviewed and photographed Wellingtonians on her blog, The Residents. The experience taught her about her hometown of P?neke, its resilience, and how people's personal style and values are reflected in their private spaces. The Residents: Made in Wellington is the culmination of this project. This coffee-table book shares 38 inspiring stories about how people - some prominent, some unsung heroes - have been shaped by life in the capital. With rare vulnerability, they allow Lucy into their homes, businesses and studios, giving a behind-the-scenes look at how they live and work in food, fashion, arts, small business and more. The book features Fat Freddy's Drop's Chris 'Mu' Faiumu, twentyseven names' Anjali Burnett and Rachel Easting, Eboni Waitere of Huia Publishers, Sophie Kasoylides of The Greek Food Truck, Vijay Parbhu of Dixon Street Shoe Repairs, and Monique Fiso of Hiakai, amongst many others.
Wellington and Beyond
As the capital of New Zealand, Wellington is an important city in geographical, political and economic terms. Over recent years, however, the city has also gained an unofficial reputation for being the arts capital. There are various galleries and, of course, there is Te Papa Tongarewa (Museum of New Zealand). The Wellington region's splendidly rugged coastline offers plenty of recreational activities, too. If tramping, hiking or hunting appeal, the lure of the mountains - there are two major ranges within 100 kilometres - is hard to resist. And less than an hour's drive from the city centre can be found one of New Zealand's most exciting wine-producing regions. Talented photographer Rob Suisted has captured the essence and diversity of the greater region of Wellington in this stunning photographic essay.
Wellington
Wellington: Biography of a City explores in fascinating and vivd detail the life and times of a city at the heart of our nation. Starting with the raw-boned settlement era, this book examines over 170 years of civic history - how Wellington's founders weathered stormy fortunes and shaped its destiny. After becoming the capital in 1865, the so-called 'Empire City' eased into a century of prosperity as a commercial, political and transport crossroards, forming the city as we know it today. We examine how Wellington responded to the massive social and economic upheavals of the twentieth century: the deadly 1918 flu epidemic, the Great Depression, strikes and protests, world wars and Beatlemania. Through humble and sometimes tumultuouse times, modern-day Wellington has reinvented itself as a 'creative capital' - a vibrant and dynamic centre buoyed by the arts, tourism and film-making; a product of its lively and often-disputed past.
