New Zealand

A tribute to the remarkable harmony that exists between the contrasting landscapes and cultures of New Zealand, this handsome addition to White Star's Exploring Countries of the World series portrays the diversity that makes this land a latter-day paradise. From the dense tropical forests and endless green valleys; majestic snowy peaks and sun-kissed beaches; modern urban centers and vast sheep farms; and-perhaps most dramatic of all-the ancient culture of the Maori, the images in New Zealand portray unexpected juxtapositions unlike anything else on earth.
