Book Bites - Doctor in the Mountains by W.A. Anderson

from Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries · host Auckland Libraries

This historical autobiography of "Dr Bill" Anderson who was twice made mayor of Queenstown comes highly recommended by Andrew Henry, principal specialist in NZ and Pacific printed collections with Auckland Libraries' Heritage team. First printed in 1964 and reprinted six times in five years, the eye catching cover first drew Andrew in to reading 'Doctor in the Mountains'. This is a fascinating and engaging read, recommended for those interested in the Whakatipu region and the wider social and political history of mid-20th century New Zealand.

Ghibliotheque - A Podcast About Animation and Studio Ghibli Michael Leader, Jake Cunningham & Steph Watts Welcome to the Ghibliotheque, the podcast that leafs through libraries of films from the world’s greatest animation studios.In 2018, Michael Leader, an avowed Studio Ghibli fanatic, sat down with Jake Cunningham, who had never seen any of the Studio’s work before. Together they looked at the history behind Ghibli's films (including Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke), and got a critical perspective from Jake as a first-time viewer. They covered all of Studio Ghibli's films, visited Japan on the ultimate Ghibli pilgrimage, and have since interviewed artists, animators and filmmakers who have either worked on or have been deeply inspired by Ghibli's films. With their co-host Steph Watts, they have also branched out to cover filmographies of other studios and filmmakers whose work has revolutionised animation, from Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Hosoda to Cartoon Saloon and Henry Selick.Where will we go next?
