title: DrownBaseTM – Identifying at risk factors: Strategies and issues around Māori practices and activities towards water safety

authors: Karapu, Rolinda

subjects: Maori

abstract: Aotearoa has some of the most extensive and beautiful waterways in the world. The seas, rivers, beaches, and lakes provide endless opportunities for Māori to enjoy water activities, such as gathering kai, swimming, hoe waka, diving and fishing (Haimona & Takurua, 2003). For Māori, water is one of the greatest taonga (treasures) of this land – both physically and spiritually. Māori have always been acknowledged as possessing expertise in swimming and aquatic activities pre-European times (Haimona & Takurua, 2003). Early writers such as Best (1976) wrote extensively about Māori games and pastimes while in, on or near the water. These early descriptions illustrate the practice that Māori children were taught to swim at a very early age. The gathering of seafood and the consistent use of waterways as a mode of transport were also customary activities for Māori. The traditional beliefs and practices of Māori, demonstrate a great awareness and understanding of water, its dangers and its life-giving properties.

title: China as a polar great power by Anne-Marie Brady[Review]

authors: Steff, Reuben

abstract: In this book, University of Canterbury Professor Anne-Marie Brady delivers an impressive exposé of China’s rapidly growing influence and ‘undeclared foreign policy’ in the world’s polar regions (the Arctic and Antarctica). It contains an overview of China’s history of involvement in these regions and of how China’s ‘PartyState–Military–Market’ organisations frame and propel China’s behaviour there. It also considers what China’s polar efforts mean for the future of global governance and what they say about Beijing’s views of its own place in the global order. The book’s eight chapters are given real heft owing to Brady’s understanding of the Chinese language. This affords her the ability to read between the lines of Chinese-language sources, and to pepper her chapters with insights from interviews with Chinese experts who provide more candid assessments than China’s official polar discourse or propaganda organs allow.
