Volcanoes of Auckland: The Essential Guide
BRUCE W HAYWARD, GRAEME MURDOCH & GORDON MAITLAND
From Rangitoto to One Tree Hill, North Head to Māngere Lagoon, the city of Auckland is defined by the fifty volcanoes it is built upon. For tens of thousands of years, volcanoes have profoundly shaped the area’s geology and geography. And for hundreds of years, volcanoes have played a key part in the lives of Māori and Pākehā - as sites for pa and military fortifications, kūmara gardens and parks, sources of stone and water. Volcanoes of Auckland is a fully illustrated introduction to these extraordinary natural phenomena - the essential guide for locals and tourists, schoolchildren and scientists, to understand the volcanic landscape that so shapes life in our city.
