Beschreibung

Maori Wars explores the 19th-century conflicts between the Maori, New Zealand's indigenous people, and British settlers, a clash profoundly shaping the nation's identity. It examines complex issues like land rights, breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi, and colonial expansion, revealing the Maori's fierce resistance against the British Empire's military might. The book argues these wars were more than battles; they represented the Maori's struggle for cultural survival, challenging narratives of inevitable colonial dominance and highlighting their resilience.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, starting with pre-colonial Maori society and the Treaty of Waitangi. It then analyzes escalating tensions, key battles, and the wars' aftermath, assessing the impact on Maori land ownership, political representation, and cultural identity. Through primary and secondary sources, including personal letters and oral histories, Maori Wars provides a balanced account of the cultural conflict, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical injustices to address contemporary issues of inequality and reconciliation in New Zealand.

    MasterChef finalist Sarah Rankin has a passion for Scottish produce and flavours and for feeding people. Being a food lover encompasses not just a passion for the ingredients themselves, but also for the seasons and weather which nurture them, and the people who tend, harvest and prepare them. Taking those ingredients and creating something delicious for those you love is the highest compliment you can pay any vegetable, beast, fish or fowl. In Kith, Sarah shares stories on her family favourites, the inspiration for her recipes, and why food is the greatest way to show your love.
    Kith is a collection of practical and inviting seasonal dishes, mixing the traditional and the contemporary, and celebrating the extraordinary versatility of Scotland's larder in a hundred recipes: from Grouse with beetroot and cherry, to Arbroath smokie souffle, Squash ravioli with sage butter, and Lemon posset with caramelised white chocolate and oat crumble. It also includes a section of drinks and canapes. The chapter 'Things of Beauty' encompasses brines, pickles, ketchups and a range of other extras that make the food you serve shine a little brighter, and a section named 'Firm Foundations' helps to arm the home cook with a repertoire of sauces, stocks, pastry, bread and pasta, and butters and creams.

    We can not raise a happy child if we are constantly screaming threats at them. No parent sets out to hurt their child, but this type of parenting does just that. 
    Anger is a completely natural emotion, but in our frustration, we often end up yelling, screaming, and hitting our children to follow our commands. Despite that, they still refuse to listen, and it feels awful to rage at someone you love. 
    There is a way to deal with your child in a kind and constructive way and also being a role model for them—giving them a good example of how to handle challenging situations and work out conflicts. 
    You may be feeling trapped and a little hopeless, but I assure you that it is possible to calm yourself, get your child to hear and understand you, and to start building better family relationships. 
    Making the decision to be a positive parent will benefit your whole family. You will find that your children want to behave and follow your rules. You will be less stressed out by the end of the day. Your house will not feel like a battle zone. Instead, you can create a home full of peace and love for the whole family. 
    This audiobook will show you why strict and permissive parenting does not work. You will learn just how easy it is to embrace a positive parenting style. While learning how to be a positive parent, you will not only heal the relationship with your children but heal yourself along the way.
