From Wool to Weta: Transforming New Zealand's Culture and Economy by Paul Callaghan

$12.00 NZD

Category: New Zealand | Reading Level: very good

Victoria University physicist Paul Callaghan has given a series of public lectures around New Zealand, sponsored by the David and Genevieve Becroft Foundation and the Royal Society of New Zealand, entitled 'Beyond the Farm and the Theme Park'. The lectures have been on the subject of sustainable wealth generation and culture change. Callaghan argues that if New Zealand keeps relying on tourism and farming we will fall all the way to the bottom of OECD rankings pretty quickly. What's the alternative? He argues that New Zealand's future lies in emerging industries based on science, technology, and intellectual property exemplified by companies like WETA, Fisher and Paykel Healthcare etc. Callaghan has interviewed a number of New Zealanders involved in wealth generation through science-based business, in economic thinking and leadership, in investment and in education and philanthropy. Where does New Zealand's competitive advantage lie? What should we make of the key roles of tourism and farming in the economy? Is new business development likely to come out of those sectors or from outside them? What role should government play in science and economic development?

Bogan: An Insider's Guide to Metal, Mullets and Mayhem by Dave Snell

$10.00 NZD

Category: Music | Reading Level: very good

'When I was twelve years old I was introduced to the music of AC/DC. My dad had bought a cassette tape called The Razor's Edge. The cover was metallic silver, with the band's logo bursting through it in bright red. The tape had it all: the chanting crowds, the pounding drums, the guitar building up in t he background. It made me want to put on a cap, lace up some steel caps and stand in front of millions singing about how great it is to be a working man. It became the only tape that I would let my family listen to.' Bogans are a special breed and inhabit a special place in New Zealand society. They are simultaneously pop cultural icons and working-class heroes, while also prone to being noisy neighbours and childish pranksters. They are carved in black denim with mullets blowing in the wind. Bogan celebrates the culture and community that goes with being a bogan. Dave Snell, self-proclaimed Doctor of Boganology, interviews a dozen bogans from all walks of life: musicians, radio DJs, petrol-heads, an insurance salesman and a couple of boganettes. What emerges is a hard-case and at times hard-hitting picture of life in the thrash lane. ...Show more
