Описание: One of the British Empire’s most troubling colonial exports in the 19th-century, James Busby is known as the father of the Australian wine industry, the author of New Zealand’s Declaration of Independence and a central figure in the early history of independent New Zealand as its British Resident from 1833 to 1840.Officially the man on the ground for the British government in the volatile society of New Zealand in the 1830s, Busby endeavoured to create his own parliament and act independently of his superiors in London. This put him on a collision course with the British Government, and ultimately destroyed his career. With a reputation as an inept, conceited and increasingly embittered person, this caricature of Busby’s character has slipped into the historical bloodstream where it remains to the present day. This book draws on an extensive range of previously-unused archival records to reconstruct Busby’s life in much more intimate form, and exposes the back-room plotting that ultimately destroyed his plans for New Zealand. It will alter the way that Britain’s colonisation of New Zealand is understood, and will leave readers with an appreciation of how individuals, more than policies, shaped the Empire and its rule.

Описание: About the Authorwilliam marshe is an Island son of Cape Breton, on Canada's east coast. He spent his early years immersed in a vibrant culture of artists, writers, singers and thespians, where he wrote, directed, acted in and designed many productions. Like many of the youth of the economically challenged area of Sydney, he left his home as a young adult to seek gainful employment elsewhere and now resides in Toronto, Ontario, working as a millwork designer for luxury homes, locally and around the globe. He continues to write when every moment presents itself. salt/ /water is william's first collection of poetry. His work has appeared online and in the journal ETC, as well as in the collection The Medium is The Muse Channeling Marshall McLuhan] published by NeoPoiesis Press. Reviews Cape Breton native William Marshe gives us poems that could be a read as the map of an internal landscape. Frequently rooted in nature, his verse explores the complexity of love and the inevitability of loss. Sensual, startling, melancholic, funny and chilling, he searches for that which is greater than the Known. Throughout this collection Marshe is, as he writes in Bridal Path, "coaxing a dream from beneath the bed." In that he succeeds. This is a beautiful book of poetry. Ed Macdonald, author of Spat the Dummy and Atomic Storybook William Marshe's salt//water will not only resonate for the "island born," his insights into modern life and love will speak to all lovers of excellent verse. Full of insight of how landscape is internal as well as external, how the swings in a children's park can conjure the forlornness all of us have felt, Marshe is completely in tune with our times. Sensitive to every turn of the tide, bravely facing every storm, quietly etching the world around us in eloquently precise phrases, salt//water is an ambitious debut and a beautiful read.
