by Geoffrey Rice
"This lively survey tells the story of a major New Zealand city, the capital of the Canterbury province and the South Island's largest metropolitan centre. Why was a city established in the middle of a swamp? What was it like to live in Christchurch in the 1850s, the 1870s or the 1940s? What has changed, what has disappeared, and what has survived from the past? Who were the people who made Christchurch what it is today? What makes Christchurch distinctive among New Zealand's cities? ... This popular account has now been updated with a new final chapter covering the decade to 2008."--Back cover.
