Oceania: The Geography of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands
The material is what you would expect from a typical textbook.Though, there are no sections for questions or review after each chapter.
A good book overall if you want scholastic detail and analysis of the region. However, the pictures, photographs and maps contained in
the book are scant and printed in black and white leaving the reader to use other media to supplement their reading of the material. ... Read more

The level of protection varies according to the land status. The Department of Conservation administers the majority of the publicly owned land in New Zealand that is protected for scenic, scientific, historic and cultural reasons, or set aside for recreational purposes. More than 80,000 km nearly 30 percent of the nation's total area is administered by the department. There are 14 national parks, covering just under 25,000 km, 20 forest parks covering some 18,000 km, about 3,500 reserves covering around 15,000 km, and some 610 km of protected private land and covenants that have been set aside for scenic, scientific or ecological reasons. The department also has responsibility for the preservation and management of wildlife, and has a role in management of the coastal marine area with 19 marine reserves and two other protected marine areas from the Kermadec Islands to Fiordland. New Zealand has a total of 32 marine reserves spread around the North and South Islands, and two on outlying island groups. The first marine reserve was created in 1975. There are 14 national parks, covering just under 25,000 km. Regional parks of New Zealand are administered by regional councils. ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1919198 ... Read more
