Quest for the Kauri by E.V. Sale Quest for the Kauri provides a present day guide to New Zealand's kauri heritage, set against the record - deplorable or engrossing, depending on viewpoint - of nearly 100 years of breakneck logging that threatened the extinction of once seemingly inexhaustible forests. It tells of the giants that have survived, and of how some have been discovered only in recent years. It looks to the future of a magnificent tree whose survival, albeit in sadly depleted numbers, is now assured. Forest by forest, trail by trail, tree by tree, this book provides an epic journey through past and present kauri lands, richly interlaced with anecdote and historical background. Quest for the Kauri is a book for the tree lover, and especially for the tourist who wants to know where to see the kauri today and to carry a memento of his visit. It is, too, a book in which surviving members of those who worked in the kauri bush can refresh their memories
