Mick CloutProfessor Mick Clout of the University of Auckland is one of those spearheading the push to make New Zealand predator free by 2040. The Conservation Ecology Professor was recently awarded the 2014 Marsden Medal by the New Zealand Association of Scientists, and has chaired the Kakapo Recovery Group for the past 20 years.

Book cover: This Way of Life by Summer BurstynThe Reading

This Way of Life by Sumner Burstyn

We follow the journey of the Ottley-Karena family from their first home in Omahu which is burned down in an arson attack, to living on the beach in tents and a caravan, to finally a house in Havelock North. Their way of life is not the same as the average kiwi - a way of life that causes people to re-examine their ideas of what children are capable of.
