Serving Te Tairāwhiti with a dedicated team of 60, Tūranga Health works tirelessly to achieve Mauri Ora through holistic care for Ngāi Tāmanuhiri, Rongowhakaata, and Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki. 
  This audiobook takes you on a journey of resilience, aroha, and community-led health care during one of the most challenging times in recent history—the COVID-19 pandemic. Hear how Tūranga Health stepped up, providing influenza vaccinations, hygiene kits, kai packs, COVID-19 testing, and administering over 20,900 vaccinations to protect whānau. Learn how they distributed over 750,000 RAT tests and offered supported isolation services, all while embodying the values of responsiveness, whānau-centered care, and resourcefulness. 
  Through flexibility, quick action, and deep-rooted trust, Tūranga Health collaborated with whānau and services across the region, overcoming challenges like restrictive policies, healthcare barriers, and workforce shortages. The story reveals the high-trust, values-based leadership that enabled staff to embody mahi aroha—love and care for whānau—by adapting roles, upskilling, and committing tirelessly to their community. 
  From drive-through vaccinations to manaaki like kai, entertainment, and koha, Tūranga Health made health care accessible and supportive, focusing on the most vulnerable. Their experience highlights the importance of local knowledge, innovation, and community-led solutions. In future pandemics, this audiobook argues, the expertise of Māori Health Providers must be recognized and empowered to innovate. 
  This is the inspiring story of Tūranga Health—a testament to resilience, innovation, and the power of whānau. Join us on this journey of aroha and commitment to the wellbeing of future generations as we navigate the path to Mauri Ora.

  Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 - December 20, 1996), born in Brooklyn, NY, was an American astronomer and astrophysicist. His best-known scientific contribution was his research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by exposure to light. He assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, which were universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. The following is a lecture Sagan gave in 1977 during which he discussed the place, scale and geometry of earth--the third planet from the Sun, formed 4.5 billion years ago--in our solar system.

  Greenhouse gardening offers numerous benefits beyond extending the growing season. It provides a controlled environment that protects plants from pests, diseases, and extreme weather conditions, creating an ideal microclimate for optimal growth. With precise control over temperature, humidity, and light levels, gardeners can cultivate a wide range of plants that might not thrive in their local climate otherwise. Greenhouses also allow for efficient use of space, enabling vertical gardening, hydroponic systems, and other innovative cultivation techniques. Additionally, greenhouse gardening promotes sustainability by reducing water consumption, minimizing the need for chemical pesticides, and enabling year-round production of fresh, locally grown produce.

  Threat Multiplier - Climate...

  Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. 
   
   
   
  What was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today's generals and admirals up at night? How can we safeguard our national defense and our planet? No one is better poised to answer these questions than Sherri Goodman, who was at the vanguard of environmental leadership among our armed forces and civilian representatives. In Threat Multiplier, she tells the inside story of the military's fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is harrowing.
