Book excerpt: The year is 1884. The place is Lyttelton, a small and bustling harbour town. Elsie is waiting for the fish to bite. She has her reasons for coming down to the waterfront so often, the main one being the memory of the lost boys. She was one of the last to see them alive, and now she is haunted by what happened to them. When the opportunity comes for Elsie to follow in their footsteps over the Bridle Path, and put their ghosts to rest, she doesn't hesitate. 'I'll be careful,' she says. But no one knows that the weather is about to change for the worse."--Publisher information.

Download or read book Natural Hazards in Australasia written by James Goff and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many ideas and concepts about natural hazards have been developed in Australasia, but these are often overlooked in books written from a Northern Hemisphere perspective. Natural Hazards in Australasia is the first textbook that considers Australasian natural hazards, their triggering mechanisms and the physical and social environments in which they occur. James Goff and Chris de Freitas lead an expert author team from around Australia and New Zealand to introduce readers to the natural hazards of the Australasian region, including floods, drought, tropical cyclones, volcanic and seismic hazards, tsunamis, landslides and bushfires. This book explores the interactions not only between one hazard and another, but also between humans and natural hazards. Key pedagogical features for students include learning objectives, regional case studies, summaries, chapter glossaries, end-of-chapter review and discussion questions, and further reading and resources. The full colour text is enhanced by a rich array of illustrations, photographs and maps.

Download or read book The McCashin's Story written by McCashins and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The small business success story of New Zealand's first craft beer & the revolution it started. This is the story of a revolution – a very Kiwi kind of revolution, involving more beer than blood, although there was also plenty of sweat and tears. There was a time, not so very long ago, when you walked into a bar and ordered a beer: that was about as complicated as it got. You would end up with a glass of something fizzy, light brown to pale gold in colour, its flavour notable for what it lacked rather than anything it delivered. It was a strange state of affairs, because New Zealanders have always loved beer. But that all changed in 1981 when Terry McCashin and his wife Bev cobbled together a ‘number eight wire brewery’ and Mac’s Brewery was born. The phenomenon we now know as the ‘craft brewing movement’ had begun. After two decades of hard work the McCashins sold the very successful Mac’s brand to one of their competitors, and the story could have ended there. But Bev and Terry’s children recently launched the latest incarnation of the McCashin family business, Stoke Brewery. This, then, is the story of the New Zealand brewing revolution sparked by Terry McCashin. Along the way, New Zealand — politics, society, the way New Zealanders do business, the place of former icons such as rugby and beer — everything changed profoundly over this period. The story of the McCashin family’s business is also the story of so many of the small business owners that make up this country, and it’s the story of the great Kiwi entrepreneurial spirit.

Download or read book Digital Leisure Cultures written by Sandro Carnicelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital turn in leisure has opened up a vast array of new opportunities to play, learn, participate and be entertained – opportunities that have transformed what we recognise as leisure. This edited collection provides a significant contribution to our changing understanding of digital leisure cultures, reflecting on the socio-historical context within which the digital age emerged, while engaging with new debates about the evolving and controversial role of digital platforms in contemporary leisure cultures. This book also demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of studying digital leisure cultures. To make sense of how individuals and institutions use digital spaces it is necessary to draw on history, science and technology, philosophy, cultural studies, sociology and geography, as well as sport and leisure studies. This important and timely study discusses both the promise of the digital sphere as a realm of liberation, and the darker side of the internet associated with control, surveillance, exclusion and dehumanisation. Digital Leisure Cultures: Critical perspectives is fascinating reading for any student or scholar of sociology, sport and leisure studies, geography or media studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christchurch, nestled on New Zealand's South Island, captivates with its blend of historical charm and modern vibrancy. Known as Ōtautahi in Māori, the city embodies a rich cultural tapestry shaped by its indigenous roots and diverse immigrant influences. From its picturesque landscapes to its resilient community spirit, Christchurch stands as a testament to perseverance and transformation in the face of adversity. Founded in 1850 by the Canterbury Association, Christchurch was envisioned as a haven of English charm in the Southern Hemisphere. This heritage is still evident today in the city's architectural landmarks, such as the iconic Christchurch Cathedral and the neo-Gothic Arts Centre. These buildings tell stories of the past, reflecting the city's colonial history and the pioneering spirit of its founders. However, Christchurch is not just a city bound by history; it is also a hub of innovation and creativity. Following the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, the city has undergone a remarkable rejuvenation. This period of rebuilding has sparked a renaissance in urban design, with innovative projects like the Christchurch Adventure Park and the Ōtākaro Avon River Precinct reshaping the cityscape. Moreover, Christchurch is renowned for its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The city embraces green initiatives, from its extensive network of parks and gardens to its emphasis on eco-friendly architecture and transportation. Visitors and residents alike are drawn to Christchurch's dedication to preserving its natural beauty while embracing a sustainable future. Beyond its physical attributes, Christchurch is a city that celebrates culture and community. The annual Christchurch Arts Festival and vibrant street art scene showcase the city's creative spirit. Meanwhile, local markets and festivals highlight Christchurch's diverse culinary scene and artisanal craftsmanship. Christchurch is a city of contrasts and resilience, where history meets innovation and tradition blends with modernity. Whether you're exploring its historic landmarks, indulging in its culinary delights, or simply enjoying its natural wonders, Christchurch offers a unique and enriching experience for every visitor. Join us as we embark on a journey through Ōtautahi, where past and present converge in harmony.
