註釋Books & Print in New Zealand explores the impact of the book and other forms of print on New Zealand culture, including all phases of the production, distribution and reception of the printed word. New Zealand was put on the map through the medium of the book. Popular accounts of Captain Cook's voyages were published in London, and the early missionaries brought with them the printing press to spread christianity through print. Maori soon acquired a written dimension to their language, and settler communities wasted no time in setting up newspapers and lending libraries. Table of contents: * Transitions. From Maori oral traditions to print (Jane McRae) * New Zealand English (Tony Deverson) * Printing and production (K.A Coleridge and John Ross on the history of print technology in New Zealand) * Publishing (process and publishers in New Zealand) * Distribution (bookselling and libraries in New Zealand) * Readers and literacy (Lydia Wevers on the history of teaching reading in New Zealand * Print culture in other languages (Pacific Island languages, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, French, Gaelic, German, Greek, Polish and Scandinavian).
