The celebration in this volume is a visual one, a depiction in colour photographs, many of them double-page spreads, of the extraordinarily diverse and strikingly beautiful landscapes found within the islands of New Zealand. From the capes and bays of the far north, moving through both main islands to the majestic fjords in the extreme south-west of the South Island, the scores of images in these pages seek to capture the remarkable clarity of New Zealand's light, the startling variety of its landscapes and the unsullied nature of its coasts, plains, valleys and mountains.
