Beschreibung:
Helen Beaglehole is a New Zealand writer of juvenile and adult fiction and nonfiction. She is the author of Lighting the Coast.
Gripping and fascinating, this illustrated account explores a previously unstudied yet important aspect of New Zealand's history: its wildfires. Examining the terrible fires that devastated the country as both Maori and European settlers wrested a livelihood from the land, this book explains the European mentality behind the fires and the resulting vocal arguments against the terrible loss of valuable resources.
