This is an account of the life and times of Te Whiti o Rongomai set against the politics and Crown policies of the nineteenth century. It traces the forces that shaped his life's journey from Ngamotu, where he was born, to his settling at Parihaka and his evolving sense of the injustices and disempowerment Maori experienced and his response to these. The book discusses the struggles Te Whiti had, as understood by some of his living relatives, against native policy of the time, and it gives insights into the motivations of Te Whiti and his actions. It explores the community at Parihaka, its resistance and the consequences of this and looks at Maori and government actions and responses up to the present day.
First awarded in 1933, the Ahuwhenua Trophy was introduced by Sir Apirana Ngataand Lord Bledisloe to encourage skill and proficiency in Maori farming. Since then, the competition has grown to become a large, prestigious and keenly contested event. This history of the Ahuwhenua Trophy Competition spans 1933 to the presentday, detailing the establishment of the trophy and the challenges and triumphs of farming within the context of Maori land development policies and practices. Its attention to environmental standards and protecting land and its resources for future generations is widely recognised in the agricultural sector. Trophies are awarded for excellence in sheep and beef farming, dairy farming, and horticulture, as well as recognising exceptional young farmers.

A wonderful photographic collection depicting Manchester's Irish community.
The Irish have always been proud of their contribution to Manchester. Alan Keegan and Danny Claffey's Irish Manchester: A Third Selection combines many previously unpublished photographs with well-researched captions to create a fascinating picture of the Irish community in the city. Among the themes featured are suburbs, characters, shops, clubs, buildings, events and entertainment of the past. Packed with memories, anecdotes and people, this is the ultimate guide to Manchester's strong links with the Emerald Isle. Two chapters are being contributed by notable local characters Joe Casserley (who presents a local radio show) and Rose Morris of the Irish Heritage Centre.
`I wish I had a name like yours Danny because it's a real cool name,' sighed Alfie's imaginary friend Dudley.`I'll tell you what then Duds, why don't we swap names, but just for the day, just in case,' was what Dudley heard but he didn't answer right away because he knew that Danny was probably up to no good and when he did that things sort of went more than a little haywire.

In my dreams billowing sails of white moved me quietly along on my well-planned voyage through life, but the choices I made put me adrift. I waited, hoping, that my ship would come into the wind, but I was caught in the wills and whims of the tides of life and I didn't know how to escape the storms that followed. Then, without steerage, I ran aground, hard and fast in a fallen world. I had hopes of being a choir-boy at my church, I would wear a navy-blue blazer; crimson necktie, and a surplice of white, now I can't, I'm dirty, and I can't get clean. I wanted to confess my sin but I couldn't, if I did, everyone would hate me. A Tsunami of shame and torment ebbed over my life; I was drowning. I was a twelve-year-old boy when this journey began, a journey that would take decades to complete. It would take me from a self-destructive life of condemnation to a freedom that only God's grace could provide. Follow me as I struggle to separate fact from fantasy, and dreams from reality in an emotional confrontation with a past that desperately wanted to steer my future. As you journey with me you will be introduced to a GOD that never forgets his own, never. One day on this painful voyage of wanderings I will meet (once again), the ONE who said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' Heb 13:5 A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. Prov. 16 So, go ahead, pick up a pencil and write your plans down, lay out your future, but remember, GOD has an eraser. "For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the LORD, "Plans for welfare not calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jer. 29:11
