The original and all-time classic of high-country station life in New Zealand Mount Algidus, the author's home, was one of the great high-country sheep stations of Canterbury, New Zealand. It occupied a mountain range between two ice rivers and lay in the very shadow of the Southern Alps. Published with the Mona Anderson estate as a beautiful hard-back, this new edition brings back the isolated world of the Wilberforce, the river that governed Mona's life for 33 years. In the early 1940s Algidus was regarded as some of the wildest, roughest farming land in New Zealand. 'The river was my Rubicon', Mona said. 'I had heard stories about the terrible Wilberforce: so many people had been drowned in it. I tried not to think about the time when I could have to cross it. But the road had come to an end at a corrugated iron shed. Somewhere beyond it I knew we would find the station, Mount Algidus, a green, high-country oasis amid the snow and the tussock...'

Combining historical, literary and ethnographic approaches, Calling the Station Home draws a fine-grained portrait of New Zealand high-country farm families whose material culture, social arrangements, geographic knowledge, and linguistic practices reveal the ways in which the social production of space and the spatial construction of society are mutually constituted. The book speaks directly to national and international debates about cultural legitimacy, indigenous land claims, and environmental resource management by highlighting settler-descendant expressions of belonging and indigeneity in the white British diaspora.

'I doubt people of my age would have grown up with such a strong sense of New Zealandness if it hadn't been for Reed Books ... publication by Reeds was a source of great pride', historian Michael King believed. For generations of Kiwis a raupo on the spine of a book has been as much a part of living in New Zealand as quarter-acre sections, hokey-pokey ice cream or jandals. In this eclectic sampling, historian Gavin McLean blows the dust from New Zealand publishing's greatest backlist to serve up more than 80 selections from the Reed vault. The iconic writers - Herbert Guthrie-Smith, Janet Frame, Barry Crump, Denis Glover, Frank Sargeson, Peter Wells, Witi Ihimaera - rub shoulders with the forgotten - C.R. Allen, F.W.G. Miller, Peter Newton, Ruth Gilbert. There's light relief from Pat Lawlor, Mary Scott, Helen Brown, Bob Jones and Richared Hadlee, and searing, gritty writing from R.A.K. Mason, Mary Findlay, Bill Payne and David Brown. We look back at tumultuous events - wars, shipwrecks, the 1981 Springbok tour - examine social issues such as juvenile delinquency, bodgies and gangs, explore Maori culture, popular music and even sample the odd recipe. As Whare Korero shows, Reed isthe voice of New Zealand.

My Life And Work written by Henry Ford and has been published by Cosimo, Inc. this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007-11-01 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

The lessons of Henry Ford, one of America's greatest business innovators, are as fresh and vital today as they were in 1922, when this extraordinary book was first published. Though the title suggests the autobiographical, this is in fact a bible of business philosophy from the man many considered "insane" for the very innovations we hail as visionary today: the assembly line, reduced working hours, a minimum wage, the five-day work week. Ford explains: . how his experiences as an employee influenced his philosophies as an employer . why saving money isn't always a good thing . the absolute worst time to approach a bank for a loan . why lowering prices below production costs can be a smart move . and much more. It's easy to see that much of Ford's wisdom has been forgotten today-and that individual entrepreneurs and global corporations alike would do well to take another look. American entrepreneur, inventor, and philanthropist HENRY FORD (1863-1947) was born in Michigan and trained as a machinist and engineer before founding, in 1903, the Ford Motor Company.
