EarthDiverse Course: A History of the Apocalypse
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce it's latest course: HIS221: "A History of the Apocalypse" with Peter Dornauf, starting this Wednesday 29 October 11:00am-1:00pm and lasting for 3 consecutive Wednesdays.
We live in dramatic times globally. Future prospects for our planet are dire. Repent: The End of the World is near! This course asks why such scenarios have such a profound hold on the human psyche? The answer: history needs endings to make satisfying tales with a nice dramatic arc. Apocalypse is the ultimate story. History with no ending is just a meaningless sequence of events. This series of talks traces the history of the end of the world from biblical times down
to our own ecological disaster fears today.
Course location in Hillcrest, Hamilton. For more information and registration please click on the Read More link below.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
