Graham, Ian J.

From the early European explorer-geologists to today's university-trained geoscientists, researchers have been attracted to New Zealand as one of the world's best 'natural laboratories' to study active Earth processes. Generations of geoscientists have developed an increasing understanding of what makes New Zealand geologically unique and why. Highlights of this research, including many discoveries of global significance, are presented in this book in over eighty snap-shot articles that are integrated into themed chapters with overviews. It explains what makes New Zealand tick geologically. It is written in a scientifically literate but accessible style
