Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully illustrated field guide for New Zealanders and visitors Auckland to take with them out among the 53 volcanoes that shape this city.Volcanoes of Auckland is a handy field guide to the fiery natural world that so deeply shapes New Zealand's largest city &– from Rangitoto to One Tree Hill, Lake Pupuke to Orakei Basin. For tens of thousands of years, volcanoes have profoundly shaped the area's geology and geography. And for hundreds of years, volcanoes have played a key part in the lives of indigenous Maori and Europeans &– as sites for pa, kumara gardens or twentieth-century military fortifications, as sources of stone and water, and now as parks and reserves for all to enjoy.In a new cloth flexibind format designed for the backpack (and including three newly recognised craters), the field guide features:&•an accessible introduction to the science of eruptions, including dating and the next eruption&•a history of Maori and Pakeha uses of the volcanoes&•an illustrated guide to each of Auckland's 53 volcanoes, including where to go and what to do&•aerial photography, maps and historic photographs &– over 400 illustrations, 80% of them new.This field guide will help readers engage afresh with the history, geography and geology of Auckland's unique volcanic landscape.How many volcanoes are there? When did they erupt and how do we know? Will there be another eruption in Auckland and, if so, where and when? Will we have sufficient warning to evacuate in time? What is a lava cave, a volcanic bomb or a tuff ring? Why were Auckland's volcanoes such an attraction to early Maori? Why is it that Auckland's freshest water comes out of our volcanoes? This book answers these and many more questions.Volcanoes of Auckland is the essential guide for locals and tourists, school children and scientists, as they climb up Mt Eden or North Head and take in the volcanic landscape that so shapes life in New Zealand's largest city.

Book excerpt: Auckland city is built upon over 50 volcanoes. This research explores key selected meanings of these, with an eye to the role of physicality in meaning creation. The methodology includes landscape phenomenology and autoethnography placed in conversation with textual analysis of the New Zealand Herald newspaper. Representational and nonrepresentational accounts are addressed, including 'nonhuman charisma'. I develop a perspective that combines materialist insight with discourse theory to situate the meanings of the volcanoes in a more-than-human context. The thesis is structured around different methodological moments and actors. Analysis is backgrounded by a history of the reciprocal relationship between volcanoes and Auckland city. This suggests an augmentation of nonhuman charisma over time, as smaller and more distant volcanoes were quarried away and already-prominent cones gained physical, and later visual, protection. My own experiences are used to engage with the contemporary form of one volcano, Maungawhau/Mount Eden. This highlights the centrality of afforded vision and demonstrates intersections with concepts of "nature". These themes are echoed in the visual presence of volcanic cones when moving through the city. Charismatic volcanoes are also prominent semiotically and tied to local and city identity. This uneven familiarity and affective identification is shown to have formed an integral part of a recent media campaign to "save" certain volcanoes from damage. Other conservation tactics included selective mobilisation of "heritage" discourse, and obscure legislation that was itself granted efficacy through repeated media coverage. The physical and semiotic prominence of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill can be similarly seen to underlie its persistent and emotive use as symbolic focus for race relation discussion. I note a shift in the presentation of the volcanoes following plans to return many volcanic cones to the iwi collective, Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau, embodied in local media by use of "maunga", articulating volcanic cones as a group with contemporary Maori interests. The importance of a re-articulation with Maori is underscored by the volcanoes' persistent and affective association with "nature" through geology and imagined disaster. This analysis draws on a bodily "sublime" aesthetic, the celebration of which paradoxically haunts even recent drives towards risk mitigation.

Download or read book El Hierro Island Global Geopark written by Javier Dóniz-Páez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores El Hierro Island, which is geologically the youngest of the Canary Islands (Spain). Having registered its latest volcanic eruption in 2011-2012, it is an oceanic subtropical island with low population pressure and a largely unchanged natural landscape. Accordingly, a great geodiversity of volcanic morphologies and erosion processes has been preserved. In addition, half of the land is protected as a Biosphere Reserve and as a UNESCO Global Geopark, and the island is pursuing energy self-sufficiency. Local tourism is a sustainable activity, as the main attractions are either diving or hiking through the island’s various volcanic landscapes. Covering these and other aspects, and using accessible language, the book will appeal to scientists specialized in geotourism, active leisure entrepreneurs, and members of the general public interested in volcanic geoheritage and geotourism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because This Land Is Who We Are is an exploration of environmental repossession, told through a collaborative case study approach, and engaging with Indigenous communities in Canada (Anishinaabe), Hawai'i (Kanaka Maoli) and Aotearoa (Maori). The co-authors are all Indigenous scholars, community leaders and activists who are actively engaged in the movements underway in these locations, and able to describe the unique and common strategies of repossession practices taking place in each community. This book celebrates Indigenous ways of knowing, relating to and honouring the land, and the authors' contributions emphasize the efforts taking place in their own Indigenous land. Through engagement with these varying cultural imperatives, the wider goal of Because This Land Is Who We Are is to broaden both theoretical and applied concepts of environmental repossession, and to empower any Indigenous community around the world which is struggling to assert its rights to land.
