  Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner helped introduce the world to ultramarathoning. Now, after three decades of running ultramarathons across the globe, Dean Karnazes is still going strong. This updated and revised edition includes an afterword full of the lessons he’s picked  
  up along the way. He gives personal details on the essential pillars of health—fitness, diet, and sleep.  
   
  What does he eat, what supplements does he take, and what kind of mattress does he sleep on? Aging well takes work, and the man who hasn’t stopped is sharing the tips and learnings that have kept him going, mile after grueling mile. 
   
  Ultramarathon Man is Karnazes’ story: the mind-boggling adventures of his nonstop treks through the shoe-melting inferno of Death Valley, the lung-freezing ferocity of the South Pole, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the towering peaks and craggy canyons of the Sierra Nevada. 
   
  With an insight and candor rarely seen in sports memoirs, he reveals how he navigates the solitary, manic, self-absorbed life of extreme ultrarunning with a full-time job, a wife, and two children, and how running has made him who he is today: a man with an ironclad body, a teenager’s energy, and a  
  champion’s wisdom.

  New Zealand Wars - Conflict and...

  The New Zealand Wars, a series of armed conflicts in the 19th century, marked a defining period in the history of Aotearoa. These wars were fought primarily between the British colonial forces and various Māori iwi (tribes), though the conflicts were far from one-sided. They stemmed from a complex array of issues, including disputes over land, sovereignty, and the growing influence of European settlers on Māori society. The origins of these wars can be traced to the arrival of Europeans, whose presence in New Zealand brought with it not only trade but also significant cultural, political, and economic changes. 
  The initial encounters between Māori and European settlers were characterized by a mixture of curiosity, trade, and alliance-building. However, as more settlers arrived, pressure mounted on Māori land and resources. Tensions began to escalate as land was purchased, often under dubious circumstances, leading to Māori grievances over the loss of their ancestral territories. The New Zealand Company, a British settlement scheme, played a significant role in these land disputes, exacerbating tensions between Māori and the Crown. 
  In response to these threats, Māori began to organize and resist. Some iwi, such as the Waikato and Taranaki, developed strong resistance movements in defense of their land and way of life. The British, in turn, sought to assert their authority over the increasingly restless Māori population, leading to the outbreak of hostilities.
