They diverted streams and drained marshes, burned native vegetation and planted hedges and grasses, stocked farms with sheep and cattle and poured on fertiliser. In Home in the Howling Wilderness Peter Holland undertakes a deep history of that settlement to answer key questions about New Zealand's ecological transformation.

Through a combination of cultural and industry analysis, Hilary Radner's Neo-Feminist Cinema: Girly Films, Chick Flicks and Consumer Culture shows how the needs of conglomerate Hollywood have encouraged an emphasis on consumer culture within films made for women. By exploring a number of representative ""girly films,"" including Pretty Woman, Legally Blonde, Maid in Manhattan, The Devil Wears Prada, and Sex and the City: The Movie, Radner proposes that rather than being ""post-feminist,"Feminism and motion picturesMotion pictures for womenUnited StatesWomen in motion picturesFeminism and motion pictures.Motion pictures for womenWomen in motion pictures.791.43/6522791.43082Radner Hilary.551381MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791881103321Neo-feminist cinema3706624UNINA
