Description: New Zealand by Ferdinand von Hochstetter Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description First published in English in 1867, this work represents the first systematic geological survey of New Zealand, an island group with great geological diversity as a result of active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. Vividly recording the authors travels and many observations, it remains a valuable resource in Australasian natural science. Publisher Description Inhabited by Polynesians since the thirteenth century and discovered by Europeans in the seventeenth, New Zealand is a geologically diverse island group where active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes have resulted in a rich variety of rock formations and geothermal activity. In 1859-60, the geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter (1829-84) was employed by Aucklands 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 Hochstetters work, several species in New Zealand were named after him. This book remains a valuable resource in the history of Australasian natural science.
