First published by Canterbury University Press in 2001 and extensively revised for a reprint in 2004, this book describes Great Barrier Island's history and natural features, including flora, fauna, habitats and endangered species, both terrestrial and marine. Profusely illustrated, it is an essential resource for all visitors to what Sir Peter Blake called 'probably my favourite island in the whole world'.
