A youngish Neville Peat set out from Cape Reinga on his imported 10-speed bike ‘Blue’, aiming to cycle through small-town New Zealand from north to south, all the way to Stewart Island. The week before Easter, he reached his destination. He wrote a book about it,\u003ci\u003e Detours: A journey through small-town New Zealand\u003c\/i\u003e, which sold lots of copies and was broadcast on radio. Many times in the intervening years, usually on anniversaries of the journey – ten years, fifteen years, twenty years – he wished to try a repeat journey, but life held other challenges. Now, as a leading author and in the age of the personal computer and cell phone, a very different world, he has revisited many of the towns and regions, not on a bicycle, but by car. In\u003ci\u003e Detours – A generation on\u003c\/i\u003e, he reflects once again on how small-town New Zealand is doing.","brand":"Otago University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052755140848,"sku":"9781877372391","price":18.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781877372391_p0.jpg?v=1763602712","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781877372391","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
