The rugged and beautiful wilderness of the Coramandel Peninsula has a special magic for many New Zealanders. And yet in the past the Coromandel has been exploited more intensely than most other areas in New Zealand. In the last century the Pakeha felled the giant Kauri, burnt the forests and undermined the land in search of kauri gum and gold. Now there is another wave of occupation - this time artists and craftspeople, older folk in retirement, young people seeking an alterntive lifestyle, pluys holidaymakers by the thousands. For author Veronica Black the desire to portect the peninsula from a new era of exploitation is a powerful one. "Our ignorance and lack of respect for our environment is suicidal" she says. The writing of Veronica Black, along with the photographs of Martin Barriball evoke the wairua, the spirit, of the Coromandel. * Good condition - General cover wear, top corner of back cover creased * Reed Methuen Publishers 1985 Edition * ISBN 0 474 00016 8 *
