Living the Dream

This title follows his achievements at the very best venues with the very finest fish, culminating with the captures of the Car Park lake's Heather the Leather, the Pad lake's Jumbo and possibly the most famous carp of all, Bazil from the North Lake.
Settlers
Who were our Pakeha ancestors? Did our forefathers and mothers come from particular areas of Britain, did they tend to be rural or city folk, were they Catholics or Protestants, farmers or factory workers? Drawing on a major analysis of death registers and shipping records as well as hundreds of biographical accounts of individuals and families, Settlers gives the first comprehensive account of the origins of Pakeha New Zealanders. Phillips and Hearn use individual examples of immigrants and their families, vividly depicted in the numerous illustrations, and show that these settlers were a distinctive group. They were predominantly rural dwellers practising pre-industrial crafts, Low-Church Protestants and as often of Celtic as Anglo-Saxon heritage. They added elements of their diverse cultures to the new land - from Cornwall's meat pies to Scotland's country shows - and their shared characteristics shaped New Zealand's culture and history, from the movement for temperance and women's suffrage to New Zealanders' enthusiasm for the outdoors. Settlers makes a significant contribution to understanding the origins of Pakeha New Zealand.

The collection is unusual in that it combines contributions from activists, academics, and prisoners.

The next section examines the dominant or subservient roles that men play in prison and the connections between this hierarchy and male violence. Another section looks at the sp...
