North New Zealand is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the natural history of the upper North Island. It brings together the work of many professionals, combining information and photographs collected over the years by author and natural history enthusiast Peter Hadden. Originally intended as a collection of interesting excerpts for the author's children, North New Zealand has evolved into a comprehensive overview of the natural history of the upper North Island. It is a compilation of relevant pieces of learning on this subject, reviewed by respected authorities in their fields. Written to appeal to readers of all levels, this book is intended to 'bridge the gap' between scientific journals and books written for public consumption. With a strong emphasis on science, yet free from the scientific jargon that typifies most scholarly works on the subject, North New Zealand will appeal to a wide audience of people with an interest in the natural environment. In writing this book, the author hopes to provide an accessible introduction to natural history, as well as a detailed account of the geology, climate, flora and fauna of northern New Zealand.
Readers of all levels - from enthusiastic amateur to leaned scholar - will find much within its pages to inform, entertain and inspire.
