Sinopsis

Ocean Nets Modernize delves into the transformation of Polynesian fishing practices, examining the shift from traditional, sustainable methods to motorized fishing driven by the rise of tourism. This evolution significantly impacts both the marine ecosystems and the cultural fabric of Polynesian communities. The book unveils how the introduction of motorized vessels, while initially boosting fish yields, has created complex challenges for these island societies. For instance, traditional Polynesian fishing was deeply interwoven with their cultural beliefs, a stark contrast to the increasingly commercialized practices of today.

 
The book progresses by first exploring pre-colonial Polynesian fishing techniques, emphasizing sustainability, then examining the adoption of motorized vessels and the growth of tourism. A key focus is the demand for specific fish species to cater to tourist consumption. This comprehensive approach highlights how external economic pressures and technological advancements have altered traditional ways of life, influencing everything from economic development to environmental conservation.

 
Ultimately, the study connects to environmental science, anthropology, and economics, providing a holistic view of the challenges facing Polynesian communities as they navigate globalization.

    Excerpt: 
    ...The quality of heedfulness has been praised many times by the Exalted Buddha, just as the opposite, heedlessness, has been condemned. In this Dhamma, there is much to be practised and there is practice suitable for every posture of the body and every minute of the day. There is practice to be done concerning the stream of thoughts racing in the mind, there is more practice connected with the thousands of words spoken every day, and there is Dhamma-practice for the body, whatever it is doing. Now none of this can be accomplished without heedfulness, without making effort, without employing mindful awareness, or without wisdom. Heedfulness implies the conscious cultivation of these three aspects of Dhamma: effort, mindfulness and wisdom....

    We Will Not Cease is the unflinching account of New Zealander Archibald Baxter's brutal treatment as a conscientious objector during World War I. 
    In 1915, when Baxter was 33, he was arrested, sent to prison, then shipped under guard to Europe where he was forced to the front line against his will. Punished to the limits of his physical and mental endurance, Baxter was stripped of all dignity, beaten, starved and left for dead by the New Zealand military. In the final attempt to discredit him authorities consigned him to a mental institution, an experience that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
