An A-Z of Kiwi Fact & Folklore

release date: Jan 01, 2003
An A-Z of Kiwi Fact & Folklore
A brand new, fully revised edition of the best-selling New Zealand Traditions & Folkore, first published in 1993. This new edition covers more than 700 updated anecdotes, ideas and traditions that we share as New Zealanders, and which make us different from Australia, England, the United States or any other part of the English-speaking world. Some traditions date back to early colonial times while others reflect our technical innovation as well as our rapidly changing urban life. All in all, A-Z of Kiwi Fact & Folklore provides a fascinating journey back to the roots of our Kiwi culture.

Rival Jerusalems

release date: Oct 26, 2000
Rival Jerusalems
This pioneering book is based upon very extensive analysis of the famous 1851 Census of Religious Worship and earlier sources such as the 1676 Compton Census. The authors stress contextual and regional understanding of religion. Among the subjects covered for all of England and Wales are the geography of the Church of England, Roman Catholicism, the old and new dissenting denominations, the spatial complementarity of denominations, and their importance for political history. A range of further questions are then analysed, such as regional continuities in religion, the growth of religious pluralism, Sunday schools and child labour during industrialisation, free and appropriated church sittings, landownership and religion, and urbanisation and regional ''secularisation''. This book''s advanced methods and findings will have far-reaching influence within the disciplines of history, historical and cultural geography, religious sociology and in the social science community general.
