Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A reprint under a new ISBN, this handy reference guide will help you recognise and make sense of common (and some rare) rocks and minerals. Most are found on beaches and hillsides, in streams and elsewhere around the country. The introduction provides an overview of rocks and minerals, and contains diagrams and illustrations pointing out important details to be observed in the field. Observation is the key to identifying rocks and minerals: outwardly they can appear very similar but there are special visual clues to be deciphered before accurate identification is assured. With expert descriptions and full colour photographs, this book provides all the information you need to identify the 28 minerals and 53 rocks that are most commonly seen in New Zealand. Almost every kind of rock found on Earth can be seen in New Zealand, and most of the common minerals too. Some of the rarer 'home grown' rocks and minerals and those with special value to Maori are also included.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A reprint under a new ISBN, A Photographic Guide to Moths & Butterflies of New Zealand is essential to those that want to know more about the species.

It explains which species are endemic and which have probably 'blown over' at some point from Australia and other neighbours, and gives useful tips on how readers can find, identify and study these beautiful invertebrates for themselves.…
