Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very clean copy. FIRST TO CARE: 125 YEARS OF THE ORDER OF ST JOHN IN NEW ZEALAND, 1885-2010 brings to life the history of one of our most ubiquitous and vital charitable organisations. The heavily illustrated book provides a vivid account of public-spiritedness, enterprise and innovation by people involved in St John over the past 125 years, peppered with occasional disputes and setbacks along the way. St John invented and popularised 'first aid' as we know it. It provided medical assistance from the sidelines of our sports fields from as early as 1891 and it played a leading role in disaster relief from its formative days. From humble beginnings it established a nationwide ambulance service that today is the envy of the St John fraternity worldwide.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 322 pages. The controversy generated by the National Business Review's annual Rich List tes tifies to New Zealanders' conflicting attitudes aobut wealth. For a nation found ed on solid settler principles of earnest endeavour, modesty in achievement and classlessness, making money has long presented something of a dilemma. That ambi valence is shown by the absence of a literature celebrating the endeavours of bu siness innovators in this country. The Rich List goes some way toward redressing that imbalance. Building on his experience as editor of the NBR list since 1994 , journalist Graeme Hunt here examines the lives and legacies of New Zealanders who have made their mark on our history through their efforts at wealth-creation . The Rich List starts with the earliest days of European settlement and follows the changing patterns of wealth-creation through to the present day, encounteri ng a diverse range of talent, hard work and luck along the way. There are the pi oneer whalers and runholders in the south, the merchants and traders in the nort h; business dynasties like the Todds, Fletchers and Myers, go-it-alone entrepren eurs like Sir Robert Kerridge and Sir Robert Jones; financial kingpins like Sir Michael Fay and Alan Gibbs, entertainment rich like Sam Neill and Lucy Lawless; and a good many unassuming and hard-working businesspeople to boot. Packed full of information, The Rich List is generously illustrated with historical and cont emporary photos, and features ingenious 'rich lists' of the wealthiest individua ls form 1840 to 2000. Also included are the latest lists of individuals and fami lies worth more than $10 million, and an account of the fast-emerging class of s porting rich. For anyone interested in the history of the wealthy in New Zealand. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. 288 pages. Text tanned, cover worn, A long awaited biography of one of New Zealand's most powerful and charismati c politicians. Fintan Patrick Walsh (1894-1963), known as the Black Prince, was the most powerful trade unionist New Zealand has known and has even been compare d with Jimmy Hoffa, the gangster-style leader of the Teamsters Union in the US. Many have tried over the years, but this by high-profile writer Graeme Hunt is t he first-ever biography of this major New Zealand political figure. To his many detractors, Walsh was a bully with blood on his hands, impossibly corrupted by h is dealings with politicians and big business. Stories abound to this day of bea tings and intimidation, even murder. To his admirers, including many in politics , he was a fixer and a great union leader who could always deliver on his commit ments. Politicians relied on him. In 1951 he took the National Government's side and helped smash the radical Watersiders Union. All agree that he was a brillia nt speaker, leader and manipulator and a formidable opponent. This is a well-wri tten history of a major New Zealand trade union leader who once held power so gr eat that prime ministers included him in their decision making.It is also a stor y of fear, corruption and manipulation in New Zealand politics. There are many f ascinating stories to tell.…
