Seacoast in the Seventies - The Future of the NZ Shoreline

Some wear around edges of cover.

This book is about the surf, the rocks and the sweeping beaches of the New Zealand coastline, and of the lands lying close behind it. It describes the animals and plants and landscapes brought into existence by the play of natural forces over two million years. In particular it is concerned with man's impact on this natural setting ...We have tried to tell something of the way the coast was formed and moulded, something of its web of life, and something of man's threatened effects on its natural balances, beauty and drama.
