Palaeontologist Hamish Campbell and natural history writer Gerard Hutching present an ... account of New Zealand's evolution aimed at the general reader. For the first time the story of the 8th continent - Zealandia - is revealed. From 3-billion-year-old grains of sand found in present-day rocks, through the momentous breakaway from Gondwanaland to the drowning and uplift of New Zealand giving rise to today's landscapes, this new book traces our absorbing geological story ... Photographs of fossils, rocks and the current landscape are linked to outstanding state-of-the-art digital imagery from the files of the New Zealand Institute for Geological and Nuclear Sciences.
