Book
Soft Covers. Condition: NF. No Jacket. Photos, Art, Maps, Diagrams, Documents (illustrator). Reprint. Sub-titled "How Railways Made New Zealand" is a history of the influences this form of transport had on the the country and its people. It recalls the "Golden Age" of rail travel, often from the recollections of the travellers, with fond memories of long journeys in trains hauled by steam engines, frequent stops, tea in immensely strong china cups, pies and chunks of fruit cake hurridly purchased at crowded refreshment rooms at stations, often in isolated towns --- the time when trail travelled was something of a real adventure. The railway was vital in opening up the hinterland for settlement and development. In latter years, however, with road and air travel becoming popular, the rail struggled to maintain passenger services, with freight services predominating. Atkinson covers all aspects of the system, from construction to near extinction, but wonders whether environmental factors and energy problems may eventually lead to a revival of the fortunes of rail. First published 2007, with this reprint that year. 250 pages including notes, bibliography and index, lavishly illustrated throughout with colour and b/w photos and art, the latter including works by noted artists and many Railway promotional posters, documents, maps/diagrams. Pictorial card covers (photo to front, colour posters at back) with flaps front and back are NF, ditto text block, no inscriptions.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Trainland. How Railways Made New Zealand By Neill Atkinson SOFTBACK, minor shelf/edge wear, 176 pages Published, by Random House New Zealand Ltd, 2007 ISBN: 1869419057 colour illustrations Railways have played a central role in New Zealand politics, economics, trade union history, tourism and popular culture. Yet rail history has been largely neglected by professional historians. While the field has long been popular with enthusiasts, they have tended to focus on locomotive and rolling stock minutiae, engineering feats and so on, and have paid little attention to social and cultural aspects. This stunning looking book includes a brief outline of the development of rail in NZ; and looks at who uses the trains and why; daily life on and off the rails; the train in popular culture and the collective memory. Neill Atkinson is a professional historian with the Ministry of Culture and Heritage in Wellington and the depth of his research is matched by the accessibility of his writing.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dates matter, and they are often a starting point for our engagement with history. For most New Zealanders, days like 6 February or 25 April are laden with significance. They are recognised as markers of important moments in our past; they inspire pride, connection, reflection, or perhaps controversy. Some dates hold a sombre or sinister place in the nations collective memory: 15 March (the Christchurch mosque attacks), 12 October (Passchendaele) or 24 December (Tangiwai). Others highlight more uplifting moments, like Rutherfords Nobel Prize (10 December 1908), Hillarys ascent of Everest (29 May 1953) or New Zealands golden hour at the Rome Olympics (2 September 1960). This book presents a series of snapshots of New Zealand historical events organised by date, from 1 January to 31 December. They range from dramatic headline moments to the hopefully less familiar and sometimes downright quirky from Jockey Y-fronts (16 March 1940) and a Nazi sabotage hoax (29 March 1942) to the Greymouth beer boycott (29 September 1947) and a parachuting Santa (20 November 1937). A timeline lists some of the key moments and events that have helped shape the course of New Zealands political and constitutional development, while Born on this Day boxes scattered throughout the text provide brief biographical details on almost 100 figures of significance to New Zealand history, fully updated. By the Ministry for Culture and Heritage and the Alexander Turnbull Library, this glorious, fully illustrated discovery of New Zealands key times brings history to life. Each day of the year features a story ranging from the nation-forming to the quirky. Born on this Day boxes scattered throughout provide details on around 100 significant figures. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
