  A land in which nature's creative forces are still awesomely at work, New Zealand can be described as one of the world's last unspoiled countries. Presented in this collection of photographs and descriptive text is the sheer spectacle of the North Island's active volcanoes, boiling mud and steaming geysers as well as the scenic grandeur of the South Island including the lofty Southern Alps. This book pays tribute to the quiet majesty of the country's breathtaking natural beauty.

  The country's longest-standing scenic book, 'A Portrait of New Zealand' depicts the landscapes of the North and South Islands in over 200 photographs. The book was first published in 1982 in two separate volumes, with the combined edition published in 1988 and reprinted every year since. This new edition contains the same well-loved images but has been given new colour reproduction throughout in order to restore teh spectacular quality of the original photographs. Errol Brathwaite's original text has been revised and rewritten by the mulit-award winning journalist and writer Jill Worrall.
