Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
With the southern summer (and northern winter) now upon us, this is a perfect but cruel time to release a new edition of the Lonely Planet guide to New Zealand. Since, in common with many independent travellers, Lonely Planet hails from the Antipodes, perhaps it is to be expected that this book should be rich and authoritative. But nevertheless it surpasses expectations, for on top of all the practical information on hotels, food and transport which Lonely Planet guides traditionally are so good at, it has a depth which in my experience is rare in the series.
The book is written by two New Zealanders and an Australian, and this local background perhaps explains why it is more culturally informed than some other guides in the LP series. The authors have been especially sensitive in their coverage of the Maoris. There is a long and erudite guide to Maori culture and history, including fascinating sections on mythology, art and culture, and very revealing photographs and illustrations. The book also has a superb and beautifully illustrated guide to the country's flora and fauna, which is very well tailored to its market, since many visitors come to experience New Zealand's wealth of outdoor experiences.
Guides are usually best when they come from a deep knowledge of the place being written about, and this Lonely Planet guide to New Zealand is no different: it is eloquent and informative and will be a great help to anyone heading south. --Toby Green --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
