Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On 7 March 1870 the prophet and rebel Te Kooti swept out of Te Urewera to Opape, east of Opotiki, in what would be his last major action of the New Zealand Wars. His forces abducted 218 Whakatohea (mostly women, children, and old men) and marched them into the bush to build a pa called Waipuna. Before long the government sent troops in pursuit - almost exclusively Maori. In this captivating book, historian Ron Crosby draws on his decades of experience in Te Urewera and recently discovered diaries to recount this overlooked yet crucial episode in the New Zealand Wars - for the first time locating precisely where the events occurred, and telling what really happened. A foreword by Justice Joe Williams sets the scene . Illustrated with detailed maps, sketches and photos, Te Kooti's Last Foray sets straight the historical record of Ngati Porou and Whanganui's chase, casts new light on the character and abilities of Te Kooti, and brings to life an incredible story of hardship, endurance and conflicting loyalties in colonial New Zealand. - Bold, brilliant interpretation of overlooked episode in New Zealand Wars- Crosby's hallmark clarity and detailed maps bring events to life- Teacher resource and media campaign Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Name on half title. Andris, Where Are You? tells the family story of renowned New Zealand photographer Andris Apse, who when middle aged, discovered that his father Voldemars, believed to be dead for 40 years, was still alive in Latvia. Told largely through insightful pre-war diary entries by Voldemars Apse, as well as correspondence between Voldemars and his wife Kamilla, both before and during the war, this book describes the horrendous effects of war and the Soviet and German occupation on an ordinary rural Latvian family. For years after the war Kamilla and her baby Andris lived in West Germany in a refugee camp, but came to understand that Voldemars had died in the war, or in the Soviet gulag prison camps. Consequently, Kamilla and five-year-old Andris emigrated to New Zealand as refugees. Over time Andris became one of New Zealand’s most successful landscape photographers, and raised his own family. Following the breakdown of the Soviet Union, Kamilla and Andris miraculously discovered that Voldemars was still alive in Latvia. Andris arranged to take Kamilla, who was now in her seventies, back to Latvia. When they reunited in Riga, husband met wife, and son met father for the first time in over 40 years. This story of heart-rending separation and joyful rediscovery will touch a chord with all parents and everyone with a sense of history and the importance of family. Andris’s remarkable tale was first published as a large format photographic book, which was serialised by National Radio, and his life and photography has also featured in a 2010 TVNZ documentary ‘Through My Eyes’.

Very tidy ex-library. Octavo softcover (VG+); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples.

Businesses often are started by entrepreneurs with an idea, a product or service, or an expertise. Many of them fail, not because the idea or product isn't good, but because their attention is overwhelmingly directed internally - e.g., what goes into the product - when they should focus externally, always reminding themselves: "It's The Customer, Stupid!"That's the premise of Ralph Crosby's new book, "It's The Customer, Stupid! Lessons Learned in a Lifetime of Marketing."An organization's success starts and ends with the customer, a lesson absorbed by the author on the front lines of small businesses he owned or operated, through the teachings of experts and mentors, and from years of strategic marketing for myriad clients at his own marketing agency. Those lessons are the foundation of this book, which covers the following: Knowing who is your customer. How to bond with your customer. Best practices in the customer-centric process. Sending the right message to the customer. How to handle one of your best customers - the media. Avoiding the myths of marketing. Customer engagement in the Internet age. New media + old media = The future of marketing. Learning from your marketing mistakes.The author contends that if you are in business - for profit or nonprofit - you must focus on your customers, be they buyers, members, contributors, patients, clients, volunteers, subscribers, employees or any other persons whose satisfaction is key to the organization's success. Using examples and stories of both marketing success and failure, this book offers guidance on how to achieve that customer focus and satisfaction. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This copy has a gift inscription and some light wear to the jacket as well as a tiny closed tear. Some minor marks to the top edge. . Feels unread. The First Fifty Years is the first and only official history of New Zealand's elite Special Forces, the New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS). From their first ever engagements in the jungles of Malaya in 1956, through to the Vietnam War and on to modern conflicts in East Timor and Afghanistan, this book traces the history and development of 1 NZSAS Group. Illustrated with maps and never-before-seen photographs, the book provides a rare and fascinating insight into the clandestine world of the NZSAS. Since the best-selling biography Willie Apiata, VC: The Reluctant Hero was published by Penguin last year, public interest in the NZSAS has skyrocketed. Chief of the NZ Defence Force: Like any family, 1 NZSAS Group's stories are part of the glue that binds them together. But for reasons of operational security, the activities and personalities of New Zealand's Special Forces have, until now, largely remained their own - shrouded in secrecy. This book has an essential role in informing anyone with an interest in how this Unit's special capabilities have been relied on in numerous deployments, over a range of environments, across the decades of its existence. Such unusual openness I believe cannot help but promote confidence, and ultimately improve the level of understanding of 1 NZSAS Group - whose history deserves the accolade it aspires to of being the elite Unit of the New Zealand Defence Force.

Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; jacket protected by a clear removeable wrapper. A well-looked after copy.Andris Apse is one of New Zealand's leading landscape photographers, winning a number of major international accolades for his work. Many of those award-winning images are included in this moving story of his life.

First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Book. Rare complete run of Living Arts Magazine (3 issues published 1963-4),edited by Theo Crosby and John Bodley. Black & white printed in glossy wraps. Crosby associated himself with ICA in the early 60s and in 1963, under Croby's lead, the ICA exhibited Living Cities, to foreground the urban theories of the young Archigram group. The magazine therefore becomes an intrinsic part of the new international vision set out by Crosby and others, overlapping with other landmark publications of the era/movewment such as This Is Tomorrow, and Archigram. Autumn '60 for Ochestra by Cornelius Cardew, Photographs by Robert Freeman and Letter from the Airport by Carl Nesjar feature in Volume 1. Volume 2 includes : Sculptures and Statement by Peter Startup, Urbane Image by Richard Hamilton and Living City by Peter Cook, Dennis Compton et al. Volume 3 includes THe Allegorical Situation by Bernard Cohen, David Sylvester interviewing David Smith, Communication and Symbolic Value by Gillo Dorfles, THe Atavism of the Short-Distance Minicyclist by Reyner Banham and review of Living City by Robert Maxwell. The 50 page Living City section of Volume 2 includes THE EXHIBITION - EXPERIENCE 19 JUNE - 2 AUGUST 1963 described and expanded by it's designers, with Manifesto, Introduction & ket to the numerous pages of illustrations, design and texts. Amongst the many contributions are THE KEY TO THE VITALITY OF THE CITY by Peter Cook, CITY SYNTHESIS by Dennis Crompton, Total Exhibition Structure, MOVEMENT GLOOP, and FINAL NOTES ON THE LIVING CITY. Condition - the plastic cover tends to bubble. A fault uniform in all copies (& apparent in all 9 copies of issue 2 exhibited in Tate Modern Hamilton retrospective, 2014). These copies have some of that bubble effect but are the best I have seen with only a little near spine. Each rubber stamped neatly on colophon page "Michael Farr (Design Integration) 97 Jerymn Street London " (a prestigious London design company). Slight wear to issue 1 cover. General minor handling. Copies are prone to curling of covers due to plastic overlay, but being housed in a homemade cardboard slipcase these copies are better than usual. Minor rubbing to colophon pages (from inside flap printed image). Very difficult to find a set in this kind of condition. VG++/ near fine.
