'The Fight for Freshwater: A Memoir' – Mike Joy (Book Trailer)
A leading freshwater ecologist, Mike Joy is a powerful advocate for the conservation of our waterways. In this memoir, he offers a rare first-hand look at the life of a scientist whose research led him to activism. Vividly describing the environmental damage he has witnessed in New Zealand’s rivers, lakes and streams, he writes also about the political challenges he has met along the way. At a perilous time for our universities, his story is an inspirational account of staying true to academia’s function as ‘critic and conscience’ of society.
'The Fight for Freshwater: A Memoir' is introduced in this book trailer by author Mike Joy.

Tāmati Te Ito Ngāmoke led the prophetic Kaingārara movement in Taranaki from 1856.

'Picture, for a minute, every artwork of colonial New Zealand you can think of. Now add a chain gang. Hard labour men guarded by other men with guns. Men moving heavy metal. Men picking at the earth.

Fast food gone expensive
What a load of crap, was this dick there No. I GUESS these two Europeans making up stories about history. British forces indeed what ignorant people making up stories. They were not there and there are no records because the Maori did not have a written language. Listen to the nonsense quoting action to a degree of 10 minutes, and this happened 150 plus years ago with no records being kept really. He wrote a book about something that he claims happened 150 + years ago 1879 from no records. Really. He discovered more and more things from where Really.
I know none of y’all gonna believe this but Vincent is actually my great uncle. He is my nanas brother😅
Omalley is clearly biased. He could learn alot from Tipene O'regan. "The story of new Zealand isn't about goodies and baddies it's much more nuanced than that."
This is only opinion, not history! O`Malley is very biased.
That's only your opinion. You are very biased.
@@keithsymonds9323 Yawn.
Awesome koriro...
Eight years later and the cavernous gap is growing exponentially, tragically so. Thank you for this synopsis into your book.
His books on child poverty and inequality are well written with many sad truths about the "land of plenty."
This ad pops up on my feed and I'm like wth is this. A 40minute ad?! Then I hear the guy talking with a kiwi accent. Don't get many Kiwi ads esp. this long. Then the woman starts talking in te reo and I have to listen. Glad I did. This was exceptional. Im a Ngati Ruanui descendant and don't know squat about the Maori-New Plymouth wars. I think my dad would love this book as an Xmas gift. Thanks for the recommendation TH-cam.
One of the best - concise, informative, inspiring - O'Malley presentations to date, I reckon, and I've seen a few lol
the short answer is governments and polices,the modern day highway robbers,rapists and killers...and its business as usual.
great speaker, smart + very expressive
nice and polite way of saying it thanks
