"It should have been no surprise that a great-grandson of the adventuresome and enterprising Richard (Dicky) Barrett, trader, whaler, interpreter and hotel owner, would in his own field become an entrepreneurial leader in agricultural commerce and marketing. Arthur Huia Honeyfield stepped beyond Dicky Barrett in that he demostrated a unique ability to excell both in private enterprise and as a bureaucrat. He was a pioneer aviator, he wa early on the scene in exotic afforestation, he had qualifications in law and accountancy, he established the second commerical planting of avocados in New Zealand, and he was the "money man" behind the development of New Zealand's largest export port."--backcover.

With its closest neighbor some 1,200 miles away, New Zealand is one of the most geographically isolated countries in the world. Its remoteness led to its relatively late settlement. Brooking traces New Zealand from its earliest Maori settlers to issues in 2003, covering intertribal relations, the effects of European contact, the challenges of globalization, and more. The volume includes a timeline of historical events, biographical entries of notable people in the history of New Zealand, a glossary of Maori terms, and a bibliographic essay.
