"In the second half of the nineteenth century, settlers poured into Aotearoa demanding land. Millions of acres were acquired by the government or directly by settlers; or confiscated after the Land Wars. By 1891, when the Liberal government came to power, Māori retained only a fraction of their lands. And still the losses continued. For rangatira such as James Carroll, Wiremu Pere, Pāora Tūhaere, Te Keepa Te Rangihiwinui, and many others, the challenges were innumerable. To stop further land loss, some rangatira saw parliamentary process as the mechanism; others pursued political independence. For over two decades, Māori men and women of outstanding ability fought hard to protect their people and their land. How those rangatira fared, and how they should be remembered, is the story of Māori political struggle during the Liberal era"--Publisher's website.

This work was undertaken as part of the taught element of the Doctorate of Applied Social Research: Dementia Studies Pathway (Stirling University).The study attempted to address the overarching question of whether health educators who engage in research activity are important to the education of student nurses and to the delivery of evidence-based care in the wider health community. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, a semi-structured interview was conducted with a representative sample of 10 other early career researchers within the Faculty of Health at the University. Questions focused upon preparation for research activity, their personal aims in engaging in research, and the perception within the department of research activity as a legitimate and viable activity. The data were streamed into categories and coded using NVivo. The methodology reflected many of the tenets of appreciative inquiry, with a move away from the positivist or objectivist idea of the "pure" interview conducted in a sterile environment to a view of the interview itself as an interaction within which both parties construct narrative versions of the social world. In this approach, the emphasis is less on reducing bias by asking questions in a rigidly controlled fashion but by making the subjectivity of researcher a visible part of the project. Within a positivist approach, the researchers position as a colleague and co-worker to the respondents would be seen as a source of subjectivity whereas within this aspect of the phenomenological approach, the researchers "lived experience" of the respondents reality would be viewed as assisting her ability both to ask the right questions and to make legitimate claims.

"This history of the Indian Wars of the Trans-Mississippi begins with the earliest clashes between Native Americans and Anglo-European settlers. It provides a comprehensive narrative of the conflict in eight parts, covering eight geographical regions, with an epilogue on Wounded Knee"--

"When it came to understanding love, a teenage Jillian Keenan had nothing to guide her--until a production of The Tempest sent Shakespeare's language flowing through her blood for the first time. In Sex with Shakespeare, she tells the story of how the Bard's plays helped her embrace her unusual sexual identity and find a love story of her own."--

This book explores the relationship between space, subjectivity and property in order to invert conventional socio-legal understandings of property. Sarah Keenan demonstrates that new political possibilities for property may be unveiled by thinking about property in terms of space and belonging, rather than exclusion.Drawing on feminist and critical race theory, this book shifts focus away from the propertied subject and on to the broader spaces in and through which the propertied subject is located. Using case studies, such as analyses of compulsory leases under Australia's Northern Territory

"Technology is rapidly moving into our bodies," writes cyber expert Keenan, "and this book gives a chilling look ahead into where that road may lead us – on a one way trip to the total surrender of privacy and the commoditization of intimacy." Here is the definitive dissection of privacy-eroding and life-invading technologies, coming at you from governments, corporations, and the person next door. Take, for example, "Girls Around Me": a Russian-made iPhone App that allowed anyone to scan the immediate vicinity for girls and women who checked in on Foursquare and had poorly secured Facebook profiles. It combined this information in a way never intended by the original poster. Going to a Disney theme park? Your creepy new "MagicBand" will alert Minnie Mouse that you're on the way and she'll know your kid's name when you approach her. Thinking about sending your DNA off to Ancestry.com for some "genetic genealogy"? Perhaps you should think again: your genetic information could be used against you. With security scares like the Heartbleed bug (which compromised even supposedly safe internet behemoths like Google and Yahoo!) becoming more commonplace, this book is a must-read for anybody who values their privacy in a wired world.
