Books by John White

This compilation of Maori oral literature was commissioned in 1879 by the New Zealand government to help preserve indigenous traditions. The ethnographer John White (1826-91) collected the texts and provided accompanying English translations. Volume 1 (1887) includes narratives about the Horouta canoe, the gods and the creation of humans.

Suitable for teachers, company directors, and advanced dancers, this book explores the importance of disciplined dancing, choreography, acting, conditioning, and performance. It also confronts serious issues dealing with the future of classical ballet and what is needed to maintain its rightful place as an important theater art.

A fascinating introduction to the young learner's mind for teachers, parents, and students in philosophy of education.
