Nearly Impossible Dreams is a unique poetry book written by talented 10 year old author, Tara Finn. It includes a collection of works composed by Tara between the ages of 8 to 10 years old. Not only does Tara love to play with words but she uses poetry to convey her thoughts and feelings. It is intriguing to see the mind of a child expressed in this form. This combined with Tara’s creativity and ability to recognise the elements of a poem at such a young age makes the book even more captivating. The book uses illustrations by Michelle Harris to depict the essence of the poems to a beautiful effect. The poems appeal to school children; schools and educational organisations; libraries; universities; and poetry enthusiasts. It supports and encourages young Australian writers to achieve their dreams. Tara’s talent was originally recognised through Forming Circles Pty Ltd which is an Australian organisation committed to creating social and ethical investment success stories. Founder and CEO of Forming Circles, Renata Cooper, said, The book is an inspiring, uplifting, at times dark yet enlightening journey of a 10 year old. Tara truly represents the potential of upcoming Australian writing talent that we are proud to support. About the author Tara Finn has been reading and writing since (almost) the day she was born. Her parents joked she came out with a book in her hand, cranky because she was up to a really good part. She is currently in Year 6 and looking forward to finally getting to High School. She has won four Sydney Youth Writing Awards, and been published in numerous publications. Tara’s absolute favourite things in life are chocolate, boiled rice and netball, but not necessarily in that order. She has a younger brother and sister who drive her to distraction, a mother who makes her brush her hair and teeth (imagine!), and an Irish father who sings loud Irish songs in public just to embarrass her. Yes, she is normal in some ways!

This book provides a critical study of environmental regulation and its enforcement in New Zealand, situated within green criminology. It seeks to address the question of whether the offences in the Resource Management Act 1991 are 'working', by drawing on a range of sources including: central government data, local government policies and reports on enforcement, information requests of councils, studies of local authority enforcement behaviour and case law to. Through highly layered and richly textured analysis, the project exposes the problems that can arise when an expansive approach is taken to offences, penalties and institutional arrangements in an environmental regulatory statute. It emphasizes how discussions of harm and what should be unlawful will ensure that law-makers' enforcement tools will align with their goals for punishment. It examines higher-level issues such as ‘wrongfulness’ and ‘criminality’ in the environmental regulatory context and explores the relevance of its findings to jurisdictions outside of New Zealand. It also discusses the pros and cons of criminalisation and punishment versus restoration. It speaks to those interested in green criminology, regulatory compliance and enforcement, and applications of criminal law.
