Modern Bond retrospectives lazily tend to almost completely dismiss Roger Moore's tenure as James Bond. He is frequently called the 'worst' Bond and his movies are dismissed as Carry On style romps. Roger would even make light of this himself. The truth is though that Roger was a great Bond. Sure, he maybe made a couple of films too many and the comedic elements of his films sometimes got out of hand but the Roger Moore years constitute the most fun era of Bond. If you sit down and watch one of Roger's Bond films you are guaranteed to have a good time. Roger Moore's Bond is Christmas Day afternoon. John Barry, Ken Adam, Lewis Gilbert, Carly Simon, crazy stunts, quips, Caroline Munro in a helicopter, underwater bases, Jaws, Jane Seymour, the Lotus, parachutes, jet planes, space battles, crocodiles, ski chases, casinos, tuxedos, double-entendres. The Roger Moore era of Bond wasn't terrible or embarrassing. It was fantastic! In the book that follows we shall take a deep dive into the Roger Moore era of Bond and explore his tenure from start to finish. We'll assess the strengths and weaknesses of both Roger's Bond and his films but most of all this book is a celebration of Roger Moore's James Bond and the years he spent suavely karate chopping baddies in a selection of safari suits and cream flares. Roger's amazing contribution to the Bond franchise is far too often derided and mocked these days. This book will hopefully serve as an entertaining and robust defence of Roger Moore and his incarnation of James Bond. [more]

The New Zealand architect Roger Walker (b.1942) is one of the few architects who has created a new style which has affected the establishment and evolution of a New Zealand architectural identity. Walker was born when modern movement architecture started to appear in New Zealand, he studied architecture when modern architecture reached maturity and the theories of post-modern architecture were being formulated, and he began to practice as post-modernism began its initial development. During his growing practice Roger Walker has significantly developed his personal architectural style and has contributed to an emerging concept of regional architecture and strengthened the notion of New Zealand architectural identity.

"Iron Is Not Only The Soul Of Every Other Manufacture, But The Main Spring Perhaps Of Civilized Society."--Francis Horner. "Were The Use Of Iron Lost Among Us, We Should In A Few Ages Be Unavoidably Reduced To The Wants And Ignorance Of The Ancient Savage Americans; So That He Who First Made Known The Use Of That Contemptible Mineral May Be Truly Styled The Father Of Arts And The Author Of Plenty."--John Locke. When Captain Cook And The Early Navigators First Sailed Into The South Seas On Their Voyages Of Discovery, One Of The Things That Struck Them With Most Surprise Was The Avidity Which The Natives Displayed For Iron. "Nothing Would Go Down With Our Visitors," Says Cook, "But Metal; And Iron Was Their Beloved Article." A Nail Would Buy A Good-Sized Pig; And On One Occasion The Navigator Bought Some Four Hundred Pounds Weight Of Fish For A Few Wretched Knives Improvised Out Of An Old Hoop. [more]
