Historian Dr Jock Phillips' latest work tells the story of New Zealand using 100 objects.
Objects such as the sewing kete of an unknown 18th-century Maori woman; cannons from the Endeavour; the shields used by Springbok tour protestors and the soccer ball given as a tribute to a victim of the Christchurch Mosque shootings.
Jock Phillips has spent a career uncovering and documenting Aotearoa New Zealand's past, and is the author of 15 books. He says the items he's chosen represent a dramatic, full-of-life history for everyday New Zealanders.
