(Ka Whawhai Tonu Matou: Struggle Without End can be divide...)
Ka Whawhai Tonu Matou: Struggle Without End can be divided into 3main sections: the first deals with events prior to European intervention, and defines the world in a Maori context; the second section covers the mechanisms and consequences of British colonialism; and the third section reviews developments in the post-colonial period. The first section, which presents the metamorphosis of a distinct Maori culture from its Polynesian origins, and free from European contamination, sets the scene for the remainder of the book. The title of the book, Struggle Without End, sums up precisely the central theme of the entire text: the Maori struggle against the adverse effects of colonialism and for a greater degree of autonomy. Practically every element in the book conforms quite closely to this theme.

(Kenneth Walker, the doyen of modern Chinese economic stud...)
Kenneth Walker, the doyen of modern Chinese economic studies from the 1960s until his death in 1989, was the world's most authoritative commentator on China's agricultural development in the first four decades of the People's Republic. With an unparalleled authority derived from the use of primary Chinese sources, his collected papers provide a unique account of this era. In addition to their historical importance, the papers offer valuable insight into contemporary China's agricultural sector, which arguably poses the most serious economic and social problems for the Bejing government today. Including the posthumously-published study of 'Food and Mortality During the Great Leap Forward,' Walker's comprehensive analysis of forty years of China's agricultural development will be a valuable resource for scholars and researchers of China, as well as undergraduates and postgraduates.
