REVIEW OF REVIEWS
‘THE last ZB Book Review session for 1951 will not introduce listeners to any new titles, but will instead be a sort of review of reviews. Under the chairmanship of Roy Parsons, of. Wellington, a panel of four well-known reviewers has been assembled. They are (travelling, for a change, from south to north through the main centres) John Moffett, Helen Garrett, Randal Burdon and A. R. D. Fairburn, and the task of each has been to pick and discuss what he considers the four best books from the ZB Book Review selection for 1951. We can say that three out of the four give first place to The Kon-Tiki Expedition, by Thor Heyerdahl (Mr, Fairburn resisted the temptation to discuss it), but second, third and fourth choices range much more widely, with a good deal of biographical .and political material among the pickings. For full details, tune to one of the ZB stations or 2ZA on December 30, at 9.30 p.m,
