Addressing the topic of public intellectuals in New Zealand, this collection illuminates the rich, complex lives of the thinkers who influence public life even as the public scorns them and their "ivory towers." New Zealand, a country regarded by some--within and beyond its borders--as anti-intellectual, actually has a strong tradition of so-called "eggheads" who have offered their input to public policy for the betterment of all.
