The Whale Years Gregory O'Brien Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), [N.p.], 2015

Between 2011 and 2014, poet and artist Gregory O’Brien found himself following the migratory routes of whales and seabirds across vast tracts of the South Pacific Ocean, resulting in work that O’Brien describes as ‘acts of devotion – a homage to a series of remarkable locations and to the natural histories of those places’. In three parts, this collection stretches across the Pacific, following whale-roads, weather balloons and sons at sea, charting historical explorations and recent disasters such as the grounding of the Rena, along with other Pacific realisms – the ‘Pacific trash vortex’, the wavering democracy of Tonga, the political history of Chile. These poems are an exploration of outlying islands, the ocean that lies between them, and the whale-species and sea birds found there. From Waihi looking east and Valparaiso looking west, O’Brien surveys the cultural heart and health of an ocean in memorable, musical, moving lines. Poetry

Lilting bees and unidentifiable birds, long-division problems and continental cornflakes: three remarkable voices arrive in AUP New Poets 8.In AUP New Poets 8, Lily Holloway, Tru Paraha and Modi Deng come together to produce a volume of remarkable inventions and intoxications.Lily Holloway leads off with her collection ‘a child in that alcove', using an inventive approach to form to lead the reader into the ordinary extraordinary events of daily life, her poetry filling them with dazzle and dread, questions and memories. Then Tru Paraha takes us inside ‘my darkling universe' – a world ‘perpetually astral' and ‘utterly spaghettified', a poetic universe of unexpected letters and words and forms, where te reo Maori collides with atomic chemistry. Finally, Modi Deng travels through time and space into the lives of Brahms and backpackers, where uneasy conversations between mothers and children, between ‘the subjects and...

Limits, the Miller, Alice(Author) Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), Auckland, 2014

The poems in this extraordinary full-length collection ask you to force yourself beyond your own boundaries. They are curious, restless, and bold; they marry lyrical music and intricate metaphor as they search for other human voices beyond the rumblings of the apocalypse and the stubbornness of myth. From bare battlefields to crisp Antarctica to the gates of Troy, from rewritten history to love story, these poems ask for something more from the world than just riding till the spoke breaks. A poet for whom one way is easy but an easy way is worse, Miller traces a path that leads beyond our limits to where we set the sky on silent, where we’re braver than science, and where we try to unglimpse what we’ve lost

lgli/Emma Barnes - Out Here (2021, Auckland University Press).epub

Out here : an anthology of takatāpui and LGBTQIA+ writers from Aotearoa Emma Barnes, Chris Tse Auckland University Press, Auckland, New Zealand, 2021

A remarkable anthology of queer New Zealand voices. We became teenagers in the nineties when New Zealand felt a lot less cool about queerness and gender felt much more rigid. We knew instinctively that hiding was the safest strategy. But how to find your community if you're hidden? Aotearoa is a land of extraordinary queer writers, many of whom have contributed to our rich literary history. But you wouldn't know it. Decades of erasure and homophobia have rendered some of our most powerful writing invisible. Out Here will change that. This landmark book brings together and celebrates queer New Zealand writers from across the gender and LGBTQIA+ spectrum with a generous selection of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and much, much more. From established names to electrifying newcomers, the cacophony of voices brought together in Out Here sing out loud and proud, ensuring that future generations of queers are afforded the space to tell their stories and be themselves without fear of retribution or harm.

Ties of blood and empire : New Zealand's involvement in Middle East defence and the Suez Crisis, 1947-1957 Malcolm Templeton Auckland: Auckland University Press in association with the New Zealand Institute of International Affairs, Auckland, New Zealand, 1994

"In two world wars New Zealanders left home to fight in the Middle East. When World War II was over, New Zealand remained committed to join Britain in defending its bases and lines of communications in the Middle East, should another major conflict break out. In 1956, after President Nasser of Egypt nationalised the Suez Canal, the British, French and Israeli governments colluded in an attempt to overthrow him by military means and restore international control of the canal. New Zealand gave Britain full support in this ill-fated enterprise, came close to direct involvement in the invasion of Egypt and shared British humiliation as United States and United Nations pressure forced the abandonment of the action almost as soon as it had begun." "Incisively written and thoroughly researched, this book recounts and analyses these events from the perspective of the New Zealand Government at the time and casts new light on this aspect of New Zealand history. It describes how the Government was deceived about the collusion between Britain, France and Israel, and how it was torn between its ties with Britain, its alliance with the United States, and its adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter. Telling pictures of some of the politicians and civil servants involved add to the book's considerable interest." "Malcolm Templeton argues that the Suez crisis marked perhaps the last occasion on which New Zealand demonstrated its loyalty to the British Empire, despite serious misgivings about the wisdom of British policy, and confirmed a growing realisation that the country's strategic interests lay not in the Middle East but in South East Asia and the Pacific. He also suggests that by revealing the dangers of abandoning well-established principles in favour of emotional ties, the crisis offered permanent lessons for the conduct of New Zealand's foreign policy."--BOOK JACKET

The mother of all departments : the history of the Department of International Affairs Michael Gwyn Bassett Auckland University Press in association with the Historical Branch, Dept. of Internal Affairs, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), New York, 2013

Sir Joseph Heenan, the most illustrious of all its secretaries, called the Department of Internal Affairs'the mother of all departments'. A rather more earthy Australian friend of his called it the'guts department'. In a sense, both were right. Written with liveliness and colour, illustrated with photographs, anecdotes and rich detail, The Mother of All Departments brings to life the history of the first and most important agency of government in nineteenth-century New Zealand. It traces the evolution of the Department of Internal Affairs from its genesis as the Colonial Secretary's Office in 1840 to the present day. Having spawned the Public Works, Justice, Health, Housing and Social Welfare departments it nonetheless still retains an extraordinary array of functions, each a small but integral part of a smoothly running democracy. Internal Affairs plays a significant role in some of the controversial issues of our day including citizenship, the reform of local government, royal visits, and the regulation of gambling and lotteries.

A well-researched and dynamic firsthand account, it captures the drama of the events—from the overheated markets of 2007 through the collapse of investment banks and crises in multiple economies to the fragile recovery in New Zealand and the world in 2010—as politicians, bankers, and government officials struggled to deal with the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. This updated edition also reveals how New Zealand grappled with the impact of debt crises in the United States and Europe as well as with the devastating effects of the Christchurch earthquakes.

Art that moves : the work of Len Lye Horrocks, Shirley; Lye, Len; Horrocks, Roger Auckland University Press, Auckland, N.Z, New Zealand, 2009

"One of the most original artists to have emerged from New Zealand, Len Lye (1901-1980) had a passion for movement from an early age. This fascination shaped his urgent and pioneering films and kinetic sculptures and contributed to his remarkable work in painting, photography and writing. Lye had a big idea -- that movement could be the basis for a completely new kind of art -- and he devoted much of his life to it. 'Kinetic art is the first new category of art since pre-history, ' he boldly claimed in 1964. What did he mean by this? And how does his work in film and sculpture bear it out? Roger Horrocks, author of the best-selling and critically acclaimed 2001 biography of Lye, makes a powerful case for the artistʼs originality and the relevance of his ideas today. Lye's 'big idea' illuminates not only his own work but the ʻmystery of movementʼ in all forms of art -- from dance to film -- and in our own lives. Here Horrocks traces these connections and tells us much that is new about Lye, including behind-the-scenes information about how the artist dreamed up and applied his new methods of film-making and created his kinetic sculptures. He also covers the remarkable story of how Lyeʼs unfinished projects are being built in New Zealand today and the controversy this has sometimes aroused."--Publisher's website. Read more...

Independence and Foreign Policy: New Zealand in the World Since 1935 (Auckland University Press Book) McKinnon, Malcolm Auckland University Press; Oxford University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), New York, 2013

Independence and Foreign Policy is the first interpretive study of New Zealand foreign policy to cover the period 1935-91. Based on years of detailed research, it draws extensively on relevant sources both inside and outside government. It is also an original and imaginative work which consistently takes a broad view, exploring the idea of independence in New Zealand's foreign policy, the kinds of independence most commonly pursued, and their implications in practice. The first half of the book focuses on World War II; the second provides illuminating insights into recent issues in New Zealand foreign policy such as the Vietnam War, relations with South Africa, and the anti-nuclear movement. Independence and Foreign Policy has become a standard reference in its field.

The Butcher Shop Jean Devanny; edited and introduced by Heather Roberts Auckland University Press;Auckland UP,, 1926; 1981

The Butcher Shop first appeared in 1926. Despite big overseas sales it was banned in New Zealand and later Australia for being disgusting, indecent and communistic – in other words for promoting revolutionary ideas about women and for a bold portrayal of the brutality of farm life. On one level, the novel is a fast-paced account of how passion and jealousy destroy the lives of a rich and cultured farming family; on another it is a fierce polemic for the freedom of women, which in its frankness was years ahead of its time.

A whakapapa of tradition 100 hundred years of Ngati Porou carving 1830-1930 Ngarino Ellis Auckland University Press, 2016;2014

The chieftainess Te Ao Kairau lived in the north of the Waiapu Valley. Desiring carving for the meeting houses that she was having erected, she chose her nephew Iwirakau to travel to Uawa to learn the arts of carving at the Rawheoro whare wananga. Iwirakau had a studious nature and practical bent, and many close connections to major lines in Ngati Porou. Upon his return from his studies, Iwirakau added new details acquired from Uawa to the designs and styles of the Waiapu, and became a leader of carving in the Waiapu area. When the whare wananga later declined, such was the strength of the passing down of knowledge that the style of carving associated with them continued. And one of the strongest to survive was that of the Iwirakau School. From the emergence of the chapel and the wharenui in the nineteenth century to the rejuvenation of carving by Apirana Ngata in the 1920s, Maori carving went through a rapid evolution from 1830 to 1930. Focusing on thirty meeting houses, Ngarino... Maori

Dancing with the king: the rise and fall of the king country, 1864#x96;1885 Michael Belgrave [Belgrave, Michael] Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), Auckland, 2017

After the battle of Orakau in 1864 and the end of the war in the Waikato, Tāwhiao, the second Māori King, and his supporters were forced into an armed isolation in the Rohe Pōtae, the King Country. For the next twenty years, the King Country operated as an independent state – a land governed by the Māori King where settlers and the Crown entered at risk of their lives.Dancing with the King is the story of the King Country when it was the King’s country, and of the negotiations between the King and the Queen that finally opened the area to European settlement. For twenty years, the King and the Queen’s representatives engaged in a dance of diplomacy involving gamesmanship, conspiracy, pageantry and hard headed politics, with the occasional act of violence or threat of it. While the Crown refused to acknowledge the King’s legitimacy, the colonial government and the settlers were forced to treat Tāwhiao as a King, to negotiate with him as the ruler and representative of a sovereign state, and to accord him the respect and formality that this involved. Colonial negotiators even made Tāwhiao offers of settlement that came very close to recognising his sovereign authority. Dancing with the King is a riveting account of a key moment in New Zealand history as an extraordinary cast of characters – Tāwhiao and Rewi Maniapoto, Donald McLean and George Grey – negotiated the role of the King and the Queen, of Māori and Pākehā, in New Zealand.

Dancing with the king: the rise and fall of the king country, 1864#x96;1885 Michael Belgrave Auckland University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), Auckland, 2017

After the battle of Orakau in 1864 and the end of the war in the Waikato, Tāwhiao, the second Māori King, and his supporters were forced into an armed isolation in the Rohe Pōtae, the King Country. For the next twenty years, the King Country operated as an independent state – a land governed by the Māori King where settlers and the Crown entered at risk of their lives. Dancing with the King is the story of the King Country when it was the King’s country, and of the negotiations between the King and the Queen that finally opened the area to European settlement. For twenty years, the King and the Queen’s representatives engaged in a dance of diplomacy involving gamesmanship, conspiracy, pageantry and hard headed politics, with the occasional act of violence or threat of it. While the Crown refused to acknowledge the King’s legitimacy, the colonial government and the settlers were forced to treat Tāwhiao as a King, to negotiate with him as the ruler and representative of a sovereign state, and to accord him the respect and formality that this involved. Colonial negotiators even made Tāwhiao offers of settlement that came very close to recognising his sovereign authority. Dancing with the King is a riveting account of a key moment in New Zealand history as an extraordinary cast of characters – Tāwhiao and Rewi Maniapoto, Donald McLean and George Grey – negotiated the role of the King and the Queen, of Māori and Pākehā, in New Zealand.

The Origins of an Experimental Society: New Zealand, 1769-1860 Erik Olssen Auckland University Press, 2025

In this major work, one of our leading historians offers a new account of the origins of New Zealand: how Pakeha settlers – nurtured on Enlightenment thought and evangelical humanitarianism – encountered Maori, and how the two peoples together developed a distinctively experimental society.With James Cook' s arrival in 1769 and the subsequent colonisation, New Zealand became one of the few post-Enlightenment experiments in creating a new nation anywhere in the world. The Europeans who settled these islands brought with them a belief in the power of reason and experience to improve peoples and societies. Encounters between Maori and these new arrivals profoundly shaped the thoughts and behaviours of both peoples.Olssen argues that the people who settled New Zealand planned two experiments in making a better society. They hoped that, in contrast to earlier colonial projects, the indigenous New Zealanders would not be driven to extinction but eventually take their...

This Model World : Travels to the Edge of Contemporary Art Anthony Byrt Auckland University Press, Independent Publishers Group, Auckland, New Zealand, 2016

In April 2011, Anthony Byrt was living in Berlin and building a career as a critic, writing about the world of contemporary art for magazines like frieze and Artforum International. Then one day his world turned upside down and Byrt, his wife and their new-born son suddenly found themselves booked on a one-way trip home to New Zealand. This Model World is a portrait of what Byrt found when he came back. Built around hundreds of hours spent in galleries, artists'studios and on the road from Brisbane to Detroit to Venice, this is a deeply personal journey into the contemporary New Zealand art world and the global world it inhabits. It's a book about major figures like Yvonne Todd, Shane Cotton, Billy Apple, Peter Robinson, Judy Millar and Simon Denny, and emerging artists such as Luke Willis Thompson, Shannon Te Ao and Ruth Buchanan. It's about severed heads and failed cities; about bright young stars and old men with a final point to prove; about looking for God and finding Edward Snowden; and about what it means to investigate the boundary where our bodies hit the world. This Model World – a riveting first-person account of one author's travels to the edge of contemporary art.

In a world where half the population is likely to be excluded from international human rights guarantees, where unpaid work is given no economic value, where parliamentary process denies women a voice - in such a world truths masquerade as lies. Marilyn Waring writes, in these three essays, of the pretences that create and sustain inequality. Three Masquerades identifies some central myths that promote inequality, and explodes them with an accuracy that is at once devastating and humane.

Continuous Ferment : The History of Beer and Brewing in New Zealand Greg Ryan Auckland University Press, Independent Publishers Group, Aukland, 2023

Since the first brew by Captain James Cook and the crew of the Resolution at Dusky Sound in April 1773, the story of beer has been deeply intertwined with the history of Aotearoa – from the early settlers' prodigious consumption of golden ale to the six o' clock swill, from prohibition to the ‘ Black Budget' , from the domination of Lion and DB to the rise of craft beer.In this remarkable story of New Zealanders and beer, Greg Ryan tackles the big questions: Why did people drink and did they do so excessively by contemporary international standards? What did people drink and in what circumstances? How did tastes change over time? What role did brewers and publicans play in the community, other than as dispensers of alcohol?Richly illustrated, astute and entertaining, Continuous Ferment is both a fascinating analysis of New Zealand' s social history and a book for anyone with an enthusiasm for malt and hops, barrels and bottles, pilsners and porters.

Don Binney : ngā manu/ngā motu = birds/islands Damian Skinner; Studio La Gonda Auckland, N.Z.: Auckland University Press, Auckland, N.Z, New Zealand, 2003

Don Binney is a well-known and popular New Zealand artist whose signature paintings of bird and landscape, in strong lines and gorgeous colours, are instantly recognisable. These confident celebratory paintings first appeared in the 1960s and brilliantly captured the mood of the times, seeming to express a distinctive New Zealand identity. As a young artist he met speedy success and critical acclaim.Though this adulation faded, Binney's work did not stop here: increasingly interested in landscape itself, he painted islands, beaches, headlands; and later pursued collage and sign, experimenting with different media. His most recent paintings link back to those of the 1960s but show a sureness of touch and the maturity of a lifetime's preoccupation with the natural world and with space and mystery.In this book Damian Skinner places the focus firmly on the paintings themselves, choosing 75 paintings in full colour to represent the entire range of the artist's remarkable achievement. A lively and revealing interview with Binney is preceded by an introductory essay which sets his work in the wider context of New Zealand twentieth-century art. Also including a chronology and selected bibliography this book is designed to reintroduce and to reevaluate a major artist.

Far-Flung Rhian Gallagher Auckland University Press, Auckland, New Zealand, 2020

Far-Flung traverses multiple terrains – home and upheaval, our connection to the environment and to people, our relation to the past, place and placelessness. From ‘the Kilmog slumping seaward' to ‘the bracts and the berries and the leaves' of the Mackenzie country; the moth (‘courier of bloom powder'); the wind that grows like an animal and ‘the great loneliness / of grass' – Gallagher is in conversation with the natural world. Her lyric poems, marked by attentiveness, have an earthy, intuitive music and a linguistic clarity.Gallagher moves easily from the ecological and personal concerns of contemporary life to the nineteenth-century Irish migrants and the historic legacy of the Seacliff Lunatic Asylum. The multi-voiced, dramatic sequence ‘Seacliff Epistles' draws on a rich variety of poetic forms: from lyric to prose poem, parable to riddle, monologue and letter poem. Bill Manhire called Rhian Gallagher's poetry ‘one of the quiet, astonishing secrets of New Zealand writing'. Far-Flung sees the poet's lyric exploration broaden considerably in an assured new work.

lgli/Meat Lovers - Rebecca Hawkes.epub

Meat Lovers Rebecca Hawkes Auckland University Press, Chicago, 2022

In this dazzling first collection, acclaimed Wellington poet and Canterbury farm-girl Rebecca Hawkes takes a generous bite from the excesses of earthly flesh – first ‘Meat', then ‘Lovers'. ‘Meat' is a coming of age in which pony clubs, orphaned lambs and dairy-shed delirium are infused with playful menace and queer longings. Between bottle-fed care and killing-shed floors, the farm is a heady setting for love and death.In ‘Lovers', the poet casts a wry eye over romance, from youthful sapphic infatuation to seething beastliness. Sentimental intensity is anchored by an introspective comic streak, in which ‘the stars are watching us / and boy howdy are they judgemental'.This collection of queasy hungers offers a feast of explosive mince & cheese pies, accusatory crackling, lab-grown meat and beetroot tempeh burger patties, all washed down with bloody milk or apple-mush moonshine. It teems with sensuous life, from domesticated beasts to the undulating mysteries of eels, as Hawkes explores uneasy relationships with our animals and with each other. Tender and brutal, seductive and repulsive, Meat Lovers introduces a compelling new mode of hardcore pastoral.

Sir Joseph Ward : A Political Biography Michael Bassett Auckland University Press; Oxford University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 1), New York, 2013

Sir Joseph Ward (1856-1930) was the leading political figure during the forty-year life of the Liberal Party in New Zealand. He was a member of Ballance's first Cabinet, twice Prime Minister (1906-12 and 1928-30), and was still a Cabinet Minister at the time of his death. This lively biography is the story of an ambitious first-generation New Zealander of Irish Catholic parents who spent more than half a century in local and central government politics, influencing the directions taken in many areas of New Zealand life. It contains much new material about Ward's private business dealings, his flourishing Southland company, his bankruptcy and his remarkable rehabilitation. Michael Bassett reveals a genial, courteous, fast-talking man of vision who nevertheless experienced difficulty adapting to a changing world. Bassett writes with the insight into political life of a former cabinet minister.

The archaeology of the Pouerua Louise Furey, Douglas Sutton, Yvonne Marshall Auckland University Press ; Eurospan, Auckland, N.Z, New Zealand, 2003

"This is an important book in New Zealand archaeology and the major publication to merge from the Pouerua Project, a significant archaeological initiative of the 1980s which examined the diverse and rich Maori archaeological landscape surrounding Pouerua, a prominent and extensive pa on a volcanic cone in the inland Bay of Islands, Northland. Following two earlier publications on the undefended sites and smaller pa, this much larger book studies Pouerua itself in meticulous detail. Precise surface mapping was combined with large-scale excavations to reveal evidence of small everyday events; with innovative analytical techniques, this information was used to build up a picture of the process of construction and occupation on the cone as a whole. More importantly there has been an attempt to explore and understand the social and political role of the pa within a wider physical landscape and over an extended period. The investigation revealed Pouerua as a fluid site with different functions changing over time; not a place of permanent settlement but rather an example of monumental architecture, a visible sign of power, wealth and dominance."--BOOK JACKET
