BOOKS PHOTOSPORT REPLAY Produced in partnership with the award winning photographic agency Photosport on its 20th anniversary, we revisit the highs and lows, the agony, the tears and the ecstasy, and the magic and melodrama of the past 20 years in New Zealand sport. From hero to zero, this book is all about conjuring those memorable moments back to life. The stunning images throughout the book are enhanced with commentary from some of New Zealand's best-loved sporting heroes as they relive the moment in their own words, like the feeling when you finally win, and when every cell in your body is crying out in pain and yet rejoicing over and over. Then there is the question of disappointment and all that pain and sacrifice: was it worth it? A question only those who have been there can answer. Published by the Penguin Group (NZ) RRP $39.99. OUTDOORS WITH GEOFF Yes, its the latest book from the well- known fisherman and TV fishing secrets personality, Geoff Thomas! Geoff is a widely acclaimed outdoors bloke, has ventured to share his many experiences not only in fishing, but also those of a diving spearo, duck shooting and hunting the bush for pigs, deer and other game animals. Bow hunting the Canterbury high country for Himalayan tahr is an extreme skill in itself, where sports hunters from around the world regard the bull tahr as the ultimate trophy. But to hunt tahr they must come to the southern high country of New Zealand and not their native range of Nepal where the animals are protected. Ever wondered how spear fishermen find their catch or how to hunt geese during an earthquake? Yes, the ground did move, making for interesting times. Outdoors with Geoff is an excellent read and will make a happy present for your outdoorsy bloke. Published by Penguin Books with a RRP$39.99.

The report discusses, "a very diverse range of marine mammals live in New Zealand's waters, representing almost half of the world's species". Maui and Hectors dolphins and the New Zealand sea lions are found nowhere else in the world. Then there are the small resident populations of orca, bottlenose dolphin who live close to our coast and the Bryde's whales who live only in the Hauraki Gulf and the restricted area of the surrounding northern coast from Bream Head to the Bay of Plenty. This publication investigates how New Zealand's current legislative framework has been applied in practice to address conflicts between human activity and marine mammals.
