COVER : Who would have thought that a Spielbergian monster like this once roamed New Zealand? Until recently, no one. Now, nearly a dozen fossil dinosaur bones have been identified from one remote Hawkes Bay valley, showing that the ‘terrible lizards’ ruled here, too.
CONTENTS - Features :
STRICTLY BAREFOOT [With dedication and flair, Auckland secondary school students show that Pacific dance traditions are alive and kicking];
EARTH, THE HOME OF MANKIND [Using earth-building techniques known since the dawn on history, many European settlers built their first homes in New Zealand from sods of turf or layers of mud. Now a new generation is discovering the joys of getting down to earth];
GLACIERS - ICE ON THE MOVE [Think New Zealand, think islands in the South Pacific. Think South Pacific, think glaciers? Not likely, yet this country boasts more than 3000 rivers of ice, some of them of world renown];
ISLAND OF DREAMS [Lush, wild Raoul Island, a speck of land a thousand kilometres north of New Zealand, has lured a number of lotus-eaters to its shores over the past 150 years. Now the island is an important nature reserve, and its waters - and those of the rest of the Kermadec Group - are this country’s only subtropical marine reserve];
THE HUNT FOR NEW ZEALAND’S DINOSAURS [Fossil discoveries made over the past two decades have shown that New Zealand forests once echoed to the footsteps of the giant beasts which ruled elsewhere on the Earth during the Age of Reptiles. Yes, dinosaurs were here!];
