Wild Fiordland: discovering the natural history of a World Heritage Area.

Peat, Neville and Brian Patrick.

Dunedin: University of Otago Press, 2005.
Large octavo, paperback, 143 pp. colour photographs.

Introduces a New Zealand World Heritage Area, Fiordland National Park, one of the world's great wilderness areas. Located on the southwest coast of New Zealand, much of its landscape was formed by great valleys carved out by glaciers which are now half-drowned. Milford Sound is one of New Zealand's most remote but necessary tourist destinations, while Dusky Sound provided a home to Captain Cook's Resolution and its scientists, as well as artist William Hodges, for five weeks in 1773. This book is for travellers, nature-lovers and scientists alike.
