Description
The most influential New Zealand geologist of the 20th century, Harold Wellman was the first to recognise one of New Zealand's most extraordinary features: the Alpine Fault that bisects the South Island. Harold Wellman: A Man Who Moved New Zealand is the first biography of this fascinating individual. Written with verve and illustrated with over 150 photographs, maps and diagrams, it is a major contribution to New Zealand's scientific history.
