The Fern and the Tiki, by David P Asubel

“Sixty years ago New Zealand was known as “the social laboratory of the world”. What has happened to this original idealism and enthusiasm? What kind of country has New Zealand become?” This quote is from the inside dust jacket but the book was published in 1960. Published by Angus and Robertson, this is a 220 x 130 mm hardcover with somewhat faded and worn dust jacket, 232 pages, no illustrations, fair condition with god clean text.
