Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
THE BEST OF NEW ZEALAND GEOGRAPHIC presents a clear-sighted vision of New Zealand and New Zealanders; our landscape, wildlife, society and culture vividly presented with the production values for which the magazine is notorious. Replete with more than 200 colour photographs, (many reproduced as full page and double-page spreads), the selection of 60 features spans New Zealand's natural history - creatures of our oceans, earth and sky - human endeavours from exploration to culture, and our geography - the places and people of our mainland and islands that make New Zealand unique. Features have been chosen by the three editors of the magazine over the last 20 years - Kennedy Warne, Warren Judd and James Frankham - who agreed on the most rivetting stories, and most compelling photographs ever presented to readers in the last 100 issues.
