Peter Janssen Knihy

The ultimate off-the-beaten-path travel guide to New Zealand’s unusual attractions and hidden places.Unbeknown to many tourists (and some Kiwis), New Zealand is a land of quirky collectors, colorful characters and unusual 'backyard' projects. It is also commonly known as having some of the most beautiful 'off-the-beaten track' scenery in the world. This book lets the reader in on all those unusual things to do and places to see that don't appear in the regular tourist or travel guides. While some places are well known locally, they are more often than not bypassed in favor of the bigger draw cards. From Hawera's Elvis Presley Room and the Pyramids of Otago to Patea's extensive light bulb collection to the remote and delightful Guns Camp.

Focusing on the intricate relationship between wind and ocean waves, this book delves into ocean wave evolution through the lens of the energy balance equation. It provides a comprehensive overview of nonlinear transfer and highlights the significance of four-wave interactions in generating extreme events and influencing ocean circulation. The content is tailored for ocean wave modellers, physicists, applied mathematicians, and engineers, making it a valuable resource for those studying ocean dynamics.

In 1894 New Zealand had 1,719 licensed premises serving a population of well under one million. Most of the old hotels have long gone, either burnt down or demolished. This book is a guide to the 175 of the best historic pubs left today. The criteria for New Zealand Pubs was simple; a pub had to be built as a pub before 1967 (the end of six o'clock closing) and still be operating as a pub today, it also had to offer something to the modern traveller in terms of atmosphere, food or accommodation. Award winning author, Peter Janssen, travelled the country and did extensive research to put together this selection of pubs, that are not a great place to have a drink, but are cornerstones of their communities, playing a part in the history of New Zealand. Beautifully photographed and extensively researched, this is a must have for the intrepid travellers wanting more than just a drink.
