| abstract | - Author, freelance writer and producer Keith Newman has had four non-fiction titles published in New Zealand dealing with historical subjects including Māori prophet T. W. Ratana and the movement he founded, the early missionaries and their relationships with the Māori people and a history of the Internet in New Zealand. After 20-years research Reed published his work Ratana Revisited - An Unfinished Legacy, the first work on the Ratana Church and movement for nearly 25-years. Then two years later he was asked by Penguin, which took over Reed Publishing, to write a condensed less athletic version which was published as Ratana - The Prophet in 2009. In between he was commissioned by The Internet Society of New Zealand (InternetNZ) to write the history of the Internet in New Zealand. His 20-plus years writing about computing and technology for Computerworld, Network World and PC Magazine has put him in the ideal position as he was writing about the subject matter as it evolved. The resulting book Connecting the Clouds - The Internet in New Zealand (Activity Press 2008) is also published as a wiki and available free under a Creative Commons license.
