In 1859–60, the geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter (1829–84) was employed by Auckland's government to undertake the first systematic geological survey of the islands, the results of which were first published in German in 1863 and translated into this English version in 1867. Hochstetter describes his travels across New Zealand, his encounters with native people and his scientific observations. He analyses plants, wildlife and fossils, describes mountains, rocks and boiling springs, and evaluates evidence of glaciers and tectonic activity. As a result of Hochstetter's work, several species in New Zealand were named after him. This book remains a valuable resource in the history of Australasian natural science.Language: GermanCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 244mmItem Length: 170mmItem Width: 29mmItem Weight: 900gAuthor: Ferdinand von HochstetterTranslator: Edward SauterContributor: Edward Sauter (Translated by)Genre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Cambridge Library Collection - Earth ScienceRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
