- Abstract
"Sure to Rise: The Edmonds Story" is a well-written and engaging history of the Edmonds family and their business, known for the iconic Edmonds Cookery Book. The book explores the lives, relationships, and accomplishments of Thomas and Jane Edmonds, as well as the development of the Edmonds business and the wider industry. It also delves into the advertising and branding strategies of the Edmonds brand, including the famous cookery book. The book is richly illustrated with family photographs, artworks, and marketing imagery, providing a visual history of the brand. Overall, "Sure to Rise" offers a deepened appreciation and understanding of the Edmonds brand and the family behind it. "Rugby League in New Zealand: A People's History" is a significant achievement in the historiography of rugby in New Zealand. The book examines rugby league on its own terms, rather than as a counterpoint to rugby union, which has dominated the narrative. The author, Ryan Bodman, provides important contributions to the history of rugby league, challenging the perceived hegemony of the national game. The book is praised as one of the best ever produced on the history of sport in New Zealand or on rugby league anywhere.
