Science can be as wondrous as the explanations that come out of earth-rooted cultures. Polynesians, like the inhabitants of Oceania generally, have always lived in a state of heightened awareness of the profundity and subtlety of nature’s moods and interrelationships. Theirs was a holistic view of the world and their place in it. In this beautifully written and stunningly illustrated book, David Young focuses on the increasingly endangered resource of freshwater, and what so-called developed societies can learn from the indigenous voices of the Pacific. Combining nineteenth century and indigenous sources with a selection of modern studies and his own personal encounters, Young keeps a human face on the key issue of water. He confirms that the gift of indigenous people to their colonisers is that they offer systematic and different concepts of being in, and experiencing, nature. It is time people woke up to the dangers and began to embrace possible solutions, Young argues in this inspiring and deeply moving study. Current trends in water management are not only wasteful and destructive but also ultimately deadly. He concludes, however, on a hopeful note, arguing that there is potential for change. The future rests on developing the discipline of deep respect for place, for planet and for life in its myriad forms. Woven by Water …gives us information and analysis plus feeling; it doesn’t simply inform, it resonates ... I commend it wholeheartedly. – Michael King For a long time David Young has been one of the clearest and most respected writers on New Zealand ecology, a champion for what its people hold in trust. – Vincent O’Sullivan

Just what I was looking for
Color: White, Size: 10FT (Rotating Plug), Color: White, Size: 10FT (Rotating Plug)
Great solution for hiding all the cords coming from our tv above the fireplace in our apartment. Visible/untidy cords drive me insane and this worked perfectly to tidy everything up. It was much easier to run a single cord from the outlet to the tv along the fireplace and then hide everything behind the tv than it would have been to hide multiple cords with that plastic cord hiding stuff to the outlet/surge protector. This was super easy to install and makes everything so much nicer to look at while still having the surge protection for our devices. I also love that the cord rotates so it’s easily used no matter how your outlets or room is oriented.

Fits my needs
Color: Black, Size: 5FT (Flat Plug)
Seems to work well for my needs at a good price. The USB a C ports is the reason I got this.

Is a mountable power strip
Color: Black, Size: 10FT (Flat Plug), Color: Black, Size: 10FT (Flat Plug)
The power strip itself seems to work great as intended. It has been mounted under an adjustable/standing desk for over a year. My only complaint would be that the screws that came with them for mounting are very cheap. They came apart on me while screwing them in by hand, with pre-drilled holes. The screw heads came right off the screw shaft and part of it stuck in the desk. I had to slightly move the power strip and re-mount with different screws. Not a big problem as I had other screws, but kind of annoying. It has been powering everything on my desk just fine.

Great as always!
Color: Black, Size: 5FT (Flat Plug)
This is the second surge protector/strip that I've purchased from TROND - they provide a good value for the price, while packing in as many features as they can. I really enjoy the option of mounting this on a wall via outer screw holes for a better hold, and appreciate that it comes with four screws. This protector can handle somewhat larger transformers, and having two different plug orientations is absolute genius; it's really handy when you have horizontal ac adapters and don't want them blocking the other outlets. The 2 USB-A and single USB-C ports are a nice bonus, too! Overall, this is a great power strip/surge suppressor, and you get a lot for what you pay for.
P.S. - this comes with a small strip of paper that shows spacing for the two mounting screw holes on the back of the unit just in case you'd like to mount it that way. Additionally, having the offset, angled, and flat plug is very nice. THANK YOU TROND, that is very much appreciated!
