When the first European colonists reached the top of the Bridle Path above Lyttelton they saw, on the far side of the Canterbury Plains, a range of mountains, snow-covered in winter and higher than any they had known in Britain. From the tussock uplands, soaring peaks, deep valleys and rugged gorges of these Southern Alps came the mighty braided river Maori called Waimakariri, but the new settlers called, for a short time, the Courtenay. It would dominate the lives of many, it was a barrier to travel and, as they soon learned, its turbulent spring and summer floods were a threat to the city of Christchurch. But the Waimakariri valley also provided a gateway to the West Coast, via first the road built to tap the golden riches on the other side of the alps and later the famous Midland railway; both were engineering marvels of their time. From the peaks of the headwaters, where young mountaineers revelled in climbing and exploration, to the river's mouth, the Waimakariri's story is full of interest, and none has told it better or in more fascinating detail, than the late Robert Logan. The author's special knowledge of the river's upper reaches gave him a unique insight into the early European explorers in the area, and his tireless research uncovered a great deal of previously unpublished material. In this facsimile edition of his famous 1987 work, out of print for many years, over 400 illustrations, many in colour, combine with more than 200,000 words to make Waimakariri: An Illustrated History the most comprehensive book ever written about a New Zealand river, its landscape and its people.

The legend of Te Hokioi, the extinct giant eagle of New Zealand, leads Peter Walker from a Canterbury sheep run to the Rare Books Room of the British Library and to &‘ sacred' Raiatea in Polynesia, as he uncovers the story of the predator which once ruled over the Southern Alps.Was this bird, whose existence was confirmed by scientists only in 2009, the Rukh of Arab legends? Does that mean that medieval Islamic mariners were once blown far into the Pacific, saw the great raptor and made it back home to tell the tale?From the calamitous encounter of South Island Maori with colonisation to the glories of tenth-century Baghdad, Hard by the Cloud House is a heady mix of history, memoir, science and mythology.

New Zealand Landscape: Behind the Scene 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. Users will find 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 predecessors who have had the privilege of exploring, researching, and enjoying this corner of the Pacific. Tells a geological and geographical story with questions that are addressed and answered in the course of the book Written in an accessible style for both researchers and students Features full-color photos of the beautiful New Zealand landscape
