Description

Author: A. W. Reed
240 pages

An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Maori Life. The title translates to treasures from the past that have been handed down to us. This revised edition has been updated by Buddy Mikaere and is a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow guide to pre-European Maori life. Drawing on the classic works of early anthropologists, ethnologists and commentators such as Elsdon Best, Sir Peter Buck and many others, this book is ideal for visitor information, as a home reference and as a basic text for students and researchers. Arranged alphabetically for easy reference, the text summarises all important elements, influences and features of pre-European Maori life, including detailed explanations and references to myths, legends and stories of the gods. The authoritative text, written by A.W. Reed and revised by Buddy Mikaere, is complemented throughout by the original book's detailed line drawings. There are 32 pages of full-colour and black and white images as inserts.
