‘It is there, in the background. Always. Increasingly urgent. Its ominous hum is the soundtrack to every other story we tell.’ The devastating summer of Australian bushfires underlined a terrifying sense of a world pushed to the brink. Then came Covid-19, and with it another dramatic lurch away from business as usual. Some observers are worried that the all-consuming effort to control the pandemic will distract us from the long-term challenge of limiting catastrophic climate change. At the same time, many people are hoping for a ‘green Covid-19 recovery’: a cleaner, fairer and safer world. This BWB Text brings together mātauranga Māori and Pasifika perspectives, voices from academia, activism, journalism and economics to bear witness to these troubled times.

Thread Through the Whriki

The Final Chapter of the Heart of the Tapu Stone Trilogy

By: Olivia Aroha McGregor-Giles

Nanny T feels she is running out of time to destroy a mākutu cast over the valley by a historical murder. The act tainted strands of their whakapapa, dividing some, entwining others and setting in motion cycles that repeat themselves through generations. In a desperate bid to right the past, she attempts to force a solution on a current crisis - once again - without realising the strength of love and the complexity of utu. As the McGregor whānau discover secrets buried beneath secrets they realise that sometimes the universe takes control and all you can do is hold on, close your eyes and hope for the best. How far are we really prepared to go to save those we love?"--Publisher information.
