208 p., [16] p. of plates : ill. (some col.), maps, ports.Summary: "Over the centuries, kauri's high timber quality has yielded war canoes, ships' spars, furniture and houses, and the industries that sprang up around it had a defining impact on early New Zealand society. Today, though the kauri forests are a shadow of their former selves, their legacy lives on in New Zealand's rich cultural inheritance"-- Back cover.
