Description
Herbert Guthrie-Smith emigrated to New Zealand from Scotland in 1880, eventually farming 40,000 acres on the shore of Lake Tutira, in Hawke’s Bay. His explorations of his tract of land and his close observations of the most minute details of its natural history are the subject of this remarkable book. Every living thing that made its home at Tutira – animal and plant, native and exotic, weed and nonweed – came under the scrutiny of this passionate observer of ecological detail as he sought to understand the subtle, intricate interactions between nature and human beings.
