A tribute to the remarkable harmony that exists between the contrasting landscapes and cultures of New Zealand, this handsome addition to White Star's Exploring Countries of the World series portrays the diversity that makes this land a latter-day paradise. From the dense tropical forests and endless green valleys; majestic snowy peaks and sun-kissed beaches; modern urban centers and vast sheep farms; and-perhaps most dramatic of all-the ancient culture of the Maori, the images in New Zealand portray unexpected juxtapositions unlike anything else on earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book in a great series!,
This review is from: New Zealand (Exploring Countries of the World) (Hardcover)
I have several books in this series, and I love most of them. (Brazil was disappointing.) New Zealand is a favorite because of the beautiful, intelligently chosen photography of the many scenic areas of the country. The book is a large format hardback that contains more photographs than text. I have found a few translation errors throughout the series, but this does not bother me because I am more interested in the beautiful, poster-size photographs at a bargain price. The 4-for-3 promotion makes it about $7.50. Great book for a person who wants to "see" New Zealand on a tight budget.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New Zealand (Exploring Countries of the World) (Hardcover)
I has horrified when this book arrived today, and I opened the cover and read NEW ZELAND ... that's right ... ZELAND instead of ZEALAND. It's a real shame because the book itself stunning - the publisher/editor should be fired for ruining what otherwise would have been the perfect gift for my daughter to donate to her class when we move away.
