Book excerpt: In the year 2065, the world has changed. After the fall of the United States Empire, the formation of the Australasian Alliance brought stability to the Asia-Pacific region, along with the powerful Greater Asian Republic. Intelligent technology has solved the dangers of climate change but not without consequences. At the Waikato Institute of the Mentally Distressed on the small island state of Aotearoa, psychiatrist Janet Reilly helps those with the inability to adapt to this new paradigm of existence. These people are cared for and, once strong enough, released back into the wilds of this new world. But something is amiss. Some of the Institutes guests have been deprived of their only remaining right - that of life. They are found alone in their rooms, dead without cause or explanation. The only link between them appears to be the way they died and the fact that no one seems to have noticed, or cared, about their passing - except for Janet. To her, its almost as if they have become ghosts in a world that has moved on. Determined to uncover the reasons behind the suspicious deaths, Janet begins searching for answers, even if the truth might jeopardise her own life.
Download or read book Tupuna Awa written by Marama Muru-Lanning and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'We have always owned the water . . . we have never ceded our mana over the river to anyone', King Tuheitia Paki asserted in 2012. Prime Minister John Key disagreed: ‘King Tuheitia's claim that Maori have always owned New Zealand's water is just plain wrong'. So who does own the water in New Zealand – if anyone – and why does it matter? Offering some human context around that fraught question, Tupuna Awa looks at the people and politics of the Waikato River. For iwi and hapu of the lands that border its 425-kilometre length, the Waikato River is an ancestor, a taonga and a source of mauri, lying at the heart of identity and chiefly power. It is also subject to governing oversight by the Crown and intersected by hydro-stations managed by state-owned power companies: a situation rife with complexity and subject to shifting and subtle power dynamics. Marama Muru-Lanning explains how Maori of the region, the Crown and Mighty River Power have talked about the ownership, guardianship and stakeholders of the river. By examining the debates over water in one New Zealand river, over a single recent period, Muru-Lanning provides a powerful lens through which to view modern iwi politics, debates over water ownership, and contests for power between Maori and the state.

Book excerpt: From snow to surf, the Waikato is New Zealand's longest river. This fascinating account takes a historical journey along its 425 kilometre length, uncovering extraordinary reports of the people, places and events along its route. Starting from a desolate, icy volcanic plateau, historian Paul Moon traces the Waikato's path through dense native forest, undulating pastureland, dams, several towns, a city, and a swampy delta, until it exits into the Tasman Sea at Port Waikato. Along the way he uncovers settlements that have disappeared, sites scarred by wars, some of the world's most convulsive geological events, great tragedies, and the remarkable stories that have taken place along the river.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On 12 July 1863, British and colonial troops under the command of Lt. Gen. Duncan Cameron crossed Mangatawhiri stream, Waikato Maori's northern border, instigating the Waikato War. In order to do so they had amassed a vast infrastructure that included building the Great South Road (the 'Road to War'), establishing a military supply train capable of providing for the needs of 6,000 soldiers, erecting a telegraph service between Auckland and Pokeno, forming a navy of armoured gunboats on the Waikato River, and constructing the second largest military fort built by the British Army in New Zealand: The Queen's Redoubt. At the height of the invasion, some 14,000 British and colonial troops contested the Waikato against Maori forces which never exceeded 3000. The Waikato was occupied from July 1863 to April 1864, followed by massive land confiscations. This book tells the story of the Redoubt, and the buildup of military power along the Waikato border, which led directly to the most significant campaign of the New Zealand Wars, the invasion of the Waikato"--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Waikato in the years 1950 to 1980 saw a period of rapid expansion, based around the increase and improvement of farming, the building of Hydro dams on the Waikato River and the utilisation of pine trees and the building of a large pulp and paper mill at Kinleith. To support this a town ( Tokoroa) grew from a small village to “almost a city”. The local government changes, the building of the infrastructure and the provision of a wide range of amenities are all part of the book. The people who came to the area came from many areas of the world and the developing of a community for all ensued. An amazing range of national and international achievers particularly in sports are also highlighted.
