WAIKANAE : PAST & PRESENT

by Chris and Joan Maclean

In this book Chris and Joan Maclean have created a vivid and interesting picture of Waikanae past and present. To their love and personal knowledge of the area they have added hours of detailed research and many interviews with Waikanae residents.

Part One of the book focuses on Waikanae's social history, both Maori and Pakeha, while Part Two is concerned with the landscape and ecology of the area and with the changes in land use over the years.

The lively, readable text is complemented by a wealth of photographs, many of them in colour.
