M¿ori Place Names
Langbeschreibung
Why do Whangarei, Tauranga, Motueka and Timaru have the names they do? Why all the fuss about the spelling of Whanganui and Rimutaka? What are the original names for Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin? Mäori Place Names gives concise and clear answers, as well as taking in curiosities like the world's longest place name (pictured).The new Mäori Place Names includes maps on the inside covers showing principal names, and also reproduces the illustrations from the original 1950 edition by renowned artist James Berry. For bookshelf, glove box or backpack, this is a must.
A.W. Reed was one of the leading New Zealand publishers and authors of the twentieth century, publishing several thousand booksand penning over 200. His work on New Zealand and Australian place names is still definitive. He died in 1979.
