QUEST FOR THE KAURI : FOREST GIANTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM by E.V. Sale

An important book relating to the history of the Kauri

Lovely endpapers by Rei Hamon

'Quest for the Kauri' provides a guide to New Zealand's kauri heritage set against the record - deplorable or engrossing, depending on viewpoint - of nearly 100 years of breakneck logging that threatened the extinction of once seemingly inexhaustible forests. It tells of the giants that have survived, and of how some have been discovered only in recent years.
