This second part of Stafford's expansive history of Rororua (a sequal to "The Founding Year in Rotorua) picks up the story in 1900, taking it through to 1988. In that time the population grew from 2200 to about 65,000 and the small borough had become an important provincial city. This growth was matched by equally dramatic expansion of business and industry, agriculture, tourism, the milling of the vast exotic pine plantations. On the other hand Rotorua also felt the impact of the two world wars and the Great Depression. All facets of Rororua's advancement, civic services, cultural and community are given detailed attention by the author, Rotorua's most prolific and distinguished local .historian. 428 pages including chronology, five appendices, refrences, bibliography, index, 200+ b/w photographs, two maps, pictorial e/papers. Green hard covers with white spine titles/decoration NF, text block NF, no inscriptions. NF colour pictorial DJ. Heavy book, 1.4kgs unpacked.
