Description
Book SynopsisThis third edition of Historical Dictionary of New Zealand contains a chronology, an introduction, appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.
Trade ReviewWith this third edition, Historical Dictionary of New Zealand is renewed and reinforced as one of the important general reference sources on New Zealand’s history and, especially, politics. It will be valuable to libraries in institutions where there is study or research interest in the country, primarily for the overview it provides and as a quick reference source. Given New Zealand’s position on the geographic extremities of the Anglosphere, it will also be useful in libraries, both academic and public, as a general reference and introduction to a country which many will know of, but know little about. * s *
