Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. A very good clean copy which feels unread. When the Rev. Samuel Marsden landed near the northernmost extremity of New Zealand and preached his first sermon on Christmas Day 1814, he inaugurated the heroic era of Christian Missionary work in these South Pacific Islands. This is the story of the first Baptist Maori Mission, born from the passionate endeavours of a young Americam semi-invalid to better the conditions of Maori people living in the Rotorua Lakes district. It began almost by accident and was conceived not as a Baptist task at all, and arrived on the scene nearly 70 years after the Gospel had first been proclaimed in New Zealand. Nevertheless for a time it exerted a profound influence on the local indigenous population and briefly claimed the support of a substantial non-conformist denomination. R.F. Keam is an academic staff member in the Physics Department at the University of Auckland.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Tarawera the Volcanic Eruption of 10 June 1886 By Ronald F. Keam. Publisher: R. F. Keam, Auckland, 1988, FIRST EDITION. VERY SCARCE. Near new hardback with jacket. Minor marks and bumps to boards, small bump to top corner, no inscriptions, binding firm. Pages in excellent condition, minor marks. Jacket has some light shelf-wear. Includes a loosely enclosed note inscribed to previous owner and signed by author. 472 pages, illustrated. In 1886, a violent eruption occurred at Mount Tarawera, near the city of Rotorua on New Zealand's North Island. At an estimated Volcanic Explosivity Index of 5, the eruption is the largest and deadliest in New Zealand during the past 500 years, which includes the entirety of European history in New Zealand.[2] The eruption began in the early hours of 10 June 1886 and lasted for approximately 6 hours, causing a 10-kilometre-high (6.2 mi) ash column, earthquakes, lightning, and explosions to be heard as far away as Blenheim in the South Island more than 500 kilometers (300 miles) away. A 17-kilometre-long (11 mi) rift formed across the mountain and surrounding area during the eruption, starting from the Wahanga peak at the mountain's northern end and extending in a southwesterly direction, through Lake Rotomahana and forming the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley. Damage in the local area was extensive, with ash fall blanketing nearby villages including Te Wairoa.[1] The eruption is responsible for the presumed destruction of the famed Pink and White Terraces, which prior to the eruption were New Zealand's most famous tourist attraction and brought visitors from across the British empire.
