Wild Fiordland: Discovering the Natural History of a World Heritage Area

Wild Fiordland: Discovering the Natural History of a World Heritage Area

Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
In a world largely modified and dominated by humans, New Zealand's Fiordland is a breathing space for nature. Travellers, nature-lovers, and scientists hail it as one of the world's great wilderness areas, where monumental landscapes combine with a mosaic of miniature worlds and much is left to be explored. Wild Fiordland provides a comprehensive description of the region and its many features with almost 200 full color photographs and a lively text. Wild Fiordland offers a series of wonderful journeys with six chapters focused on different geographical areas from the high mountains of the north to the forests of the south, from the fiords of the west, to the lakes and rivers of the east. Three general chapters discuss location and climate, geology, and conservation issues. Fiordland is a "World Heritage" area and Wild Fiordland documents why that designation is so well and richly deserved. Wild Fiordland is highly recommended reading for all armchair adventures and anyone who enjoys the wonders of unspoiled nature.
