Description
In this provocative book, author Patrick Grant explores the view that people alone have not been responsible for the destruction of the forests of Hawke’s Bay. The book takes you systematically through the last 700 to 800 years. It offers the means and the perceptions to visualise the facts more clearly, and has great usefulness from several directions.
It will help put in proper context the environment of the early settlers of Hawke’s Bay, both Maori and European.
