“Perfect Water” on the Bookhabit Show With Clare Tanner

Water is integral to life and woven into our history through every tale ever told. Garry Law traces New Zealand history through his book, Abundance and Constraint: A Short History Of Water Use In New Zealand. As a water engineer, he has worked in most aspects of the modern dilemmas around water; ownership, allocation, supply, treatment, energy creation. Garry says it’s surprising how far back in history these conflicts go in our settlement, history, and law.
“Adding a little salt to the waterâ€, says Garry is the background to his other book available on Bookhabit. Entitled Auckland, August 1908: A Stop on the Great White Fleet World Cruise, the book places the visit of the Great White Fleet to Auckland in its New Zealand context and its geopolitical context – that of great power rivalry over prestige, territorial ambitions and projection of force by battleship lead fleets. It shows the society and the character of the city of Auckland 100 years ago.
