    Book Review the Treatment of Breastfeeding in Counting On

    106 Book review: Galtry and Sturmfels Book review COUNTING ON MARILYN WARING: NEW ADVANCES IN FEMINIST ECONOMICS Edited by Margunn Bjornholt and Ailsa McKay Toronto, Canada: Demeter Press, 2014 ISBN 978 1 927335 27 7 The treatment of breastfeeding in Counting on Marilyn Waring In 1988, New Zealand feminist and ex Member of Parliament, Marilyn Waring, published a groundbreaking book called Counting for Nothing (published in other countries as If Wom- en Counted). This identified the exclusion of women’s unpaid work from national account- ing systems, notably the Gross Domestic Product measure (GDP). Waring’s central claim was that women’s unpaid work – including reproductive and care work – needed to be valued and ‘counted’. Significantly, Waring identified breastfeeding and the production of human milk as an important component of women’s unpaid and unrecognised ‘work’ and one that needed to be counted. At the time of her writing this was a relatively radical concept, at least in the Eng- lish language literature. In 2014, as a tribute to Waring’s pioneering work in developing and popularising a feminist framework for thinking about economics, Demeter Press has published an edited collection en- titled Counting on Marilyn Waring: New Advances in Feminist Economics, which contains 17 essays on feminist economics that build on and advance Waring’s work. While Waring’s analy- sis of the lack of value attached to women’s unpaid work is wide ranging, the specific focus of our review is on Waring’s contribution to identifying breastfeeding as an important component of women’s unpaid ‘work’ and how this has been addressed in this 2014 tribute compilation.

    Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour

    Australasian Coasts & Ports Conference 2015 Greer, S. D. et al. 15 - 18 September 2015, Auckland, New Zealand Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour S. D Greer1, R McIntosh2, S. Harrison2, D Phillips3 and S. Mead1 1 eCoast, Raglan, New Zealand; [email protected] 2 School of Science, University of Waikato, New Zealand 3 Unitec, Auckland, New Zealand Abstract Raglan (Whaingaroa) Harbour is located on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island and is bordered by the Raglan township on the southern side close to the entrance. Land use in the watershed is dominated by dairy farming and forestry, which impact harbour water quality. A consented wastewater outfall is located at the harbour mouth close to the densely developed and populated area of the catchment. Over the years, there have been a number of reported spills and unlicensed releases from the treatment facility into the harbour. However, there is little context of the scale of the operation, and of the spills, against contaminant levels from inflowing rivers which are affected by land use practices. We address these uncertainties using a numerical modelling approach. Here we present a calibrated hydrodynamic model linked to a 13-river catchment model. Both of these models are used to drive a subsequent water quality model which simulates the transport and decay of Faecal Coliforms (FC) in the harbour. Model runs include a yearlong simulation of 2012 in its entirety, as well as a wastewater spill event that occurred in June of 2013. Results illustrate the seasonality of the water quality in the harbour with the largest concentrations of FC occurring in winter.
