Rodney Libraries are wishing historian and author Dame Judith Binney a speedy recovery after she was struck by a truck in Auckland on Friday night. Today's report from the hospital is that she has improved but that her condition remains serious. Here is a link through to a news item on Stuff.co.nz.Dame Judith has written multiple books on New Zealand History, predominantly focussing on Maori communities and individuals. The NZ Book Council profile on her lists titles and achievements to date, including being the recipient of the Montana Book Award in 1996. Just last week she released her latest book Encircled Lands (subtitled Te Urewera, 1820-1921) which is about the Ngai Tuhoe. A full list of Dame Judith's books which can be found in Rodney Libraries is on this link.
