Natusch weaves the official task into a rich story of human as well as scientific discovery along the NZ coastline, encompassing interesting but little known context to some famous incidents in famous locations, (importantly, how the exercise was viewed, permitted to occur, encouraged, participated in), the natural history too, and all richly illustrated with interesting characters and outlooks from those interesting times, for both maori and pakeha.
