2007ref. 052518Auckland: Penguin New Zealand 2007. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Only just very good as the book has a little light shelf wear. Historian Paul Moon offers a compelling reappraisal of New Zealand during the turbulent 1830s arguing that the decade deserves to be understood on its own terms rather than simply as a prelude to the Treaty of Waitangi. Drawing on contemporary journals official papers and missionary records he examines the complex interactions between Maori and Europeans as intertribal warfare expanding trade missionary influence land speculation French and British imperial ambitions and increasing European settlement reshaped the country. By exploring the uncertainties and competing interests that defined the period Moon reveals a society in rapid transition where the future was far from predetermined and the eventual signing of the Treaty was only one of several possible outcomes.

A little creasing to spine.; 256 pages. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 230 x 152mm. "A fascinating new account of New Zealand in the colourful and pivotal 1830s. Some of the most interesting and important events in New Zealand history took place in the 1830s. In this period the French almost beat the British to claim New Zealand aggressive English merchants were applying pressure on the country's natural resources and growing numbers of European settlers were beginning to demand land. Meanwhile Maori were still heavily in the majority and starting to explore commercial opportunities. But there was turmoil everywhere. Intertribal warfare raged while many tribes were trying to decide how to accommodate the Europeans in their midst. Historian Paul Moon demonstrates it is wrong to regard the 1830s as simply an inevitable lead-up to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi." . 2006. 0143020595 . Penguin Books paperback

"I was cautious all the way through to ensure that everything that was included could be verified to the utmost extent possible . . ." - from Paul Moon's letter 23 January 2008.

"This Horrid Practice" is a sought after title which has never been reprinted after its first printing in 2008. 301 1 blank pages. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 230 x 153mm. "'This Horrid Practice' uncovers an unexplored taboo of New Zealand history - the widespread practice of cannibalism in pre-European Maori society. Until now many historians have tried to avoid it and many Maori have considered it a subject best kept quiet about in public. Paul Moon brings together an impressive array of sources from a variety of disciplines to produce this frequently contentious but always stimulating exploration of how and why Maori ate other human beings and why the practice shuddered to a halt just a few decades after the arrival of Europeans in New Zealand. The book includes a comprehensive survey of cannibalism practices among traditional Maori carefully assessing the evidence and concluding it was widespread. Other chapters look at how explorers and missionaries saw the practice; the role of missionaries and Christianity in its end; and in the final chapter why there has been so much denial on the subject and why some academics still deny that it ever happened." . 2008. 0143006711 .
