Behind the Scene: Geomorphology of the New Zealand Landscape tells the story of New Zealand through the subject of Geomorphology, a branch of earth science at the interface of Geology and Geography. Geomorphology is informally described as the ‘science of scenery’ and, as with every science, ideas evolve as the research frontier advances. Thus Behind the Scene: Geomorphology of the New Zealand Landscape offers an early 21st Century interpretation of the New Zealand landscape, an interpretation that rests on and draws from a rich foundation of ideas bequeathed by its predecessors, who have had the privilege of exploring, researching and enjoying this corner of the Pacific.

  • Tells a scientific story and poses questions that are addressed and answered in the course of the book
  • Written in a style that is intended to be accessible to experienced researchers and students
  • Featuring nearly 100 full-color photos of the beautiful New Zealand landscape

Recenzijas

"Emeritus Professor Paul Williams new book, which explains New Zealand through the lens of a geomorphologist, is very welcome. New Zealand Landscape: Behind The Scene, at 482 pages in length and supported by plentiful colour illustrations and photographs, is an impresive tome of knowledge and insight into the New Zealand landscape." --Geoscience Society of New Zealand Newsletter
