Off the Beaten Track is a tantalising guide to 20 multi-day walks across New Zealand farmland, through forest sanctuaries and along stretches of coastlie - from the kauri-fringed bays of Great Barrier Island to the alphine tarns of Southland.
While not all the walks featured here are over private land, what they do have in common is that, in exchange for a modest payment, enthusiastic walkers can tramp or amble through New Zealand's hills and backcountry without a heavy pack, with a comfortable bed at the end of the day and fine dining if they wish. Suitable for people of all ages, these walks are providing popular with family groups, work groups and particularly, baby-boomers who want to get out in the hills but in comfort and with minimal organisation.
Each walk has its own distinctive character, whether it's coastal views, subalpine high country or rolling tussockland. Well illustrated with evocative photographs, each chapter also includes an informative Bird's Eye map, an ideal way to view the route and terrain in three dimensions. This book is a must-have guide to an increasingly popular form of recreation and an attractive souvenir of a great experience.

Islands have served many specific purposes within New Zealand's life. Lighthouse islands have been essential to safe navigation, quarantine islands have been used to prevent the spread of disease, some islands have been refuges from conflict, and more recently, many offers a last chance for survival for New Zealand's endangered plants and animals. These themes are explored durign a roving survey of over 130 islands, taking in Three Kings Islands in the far north, Stewart Island in the south, and the unique Chatham Islands far to the east of the country.
The more than 180 colour photagraphs, along with maps and information on how to get to the islands, will inspire readers to discover fro themselves the magic of New Zealand's Islands.

Whites Aviation was a household name in post-war New Zealand. Whites Pictorial Reference of New Zealand and its spin-off books were pored over in homes throughout the country and sent to friends and family overseas. The walls of many homes, farms and businesses were adorned with the company's aerial images that combined incredible detail with a romantic new angle on a familiar world.
In 2007 the Alexander Turnbull Library became the custodians of the historic Whites Aviation collection, which comprises more than 80,000 negatives and 50,000 file prints. This book repersents just a sampling of the vast collection, bringing together more than 200 images of New Zealand from the air. From Cape Maria van Diemen to Stewart Island, and from the 1930s to the 1980s, they show a landscape still familiar in some cases and changed beyond recognition in others. These stunning black-and-white images are accompanied by historical background on aviation pioneer Leo White and his company, and an exclusive interview with Whites photographer Clyde "Snow" Stewart.
