Natural New Zealand

Description

THIS TITLE IS NOW OUT OF PRINT.

Crowded into the small islands of this isolated country is a wonderfully diverse range of landscapes – mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, fiords, lakes, rivers and thousands of kilometres of rugged coastline. These landscapes are home to a fascinating array of plants and animals that, through millions of years of isolation, have evolved in unique ways, resulting in rarities such as the flightless kiwi, the takahe and the tuatara, and the magnificent rainforest for which New Zealand is so well known.

In this new and comprehensively revised edition of Natural New Zealand, well-known writer and photographer Shaun Barnett combines photographs, informative captions and a series of short essays to created a highly appealing and useful introduction to the natural history of New Zealand. This book is a perfect and accessible memento for anyone who has been touched or inspired by this country’s extraordinary ecology.
