Abstract
The first edition (2008) of this book was created to celebrate both the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Geological Society of New Zealand, but also to provide a guide to the diverse and eclectic applications of geoscience in 21st Century New Zealand society. It also coincided with the IYPE 2008 – International Year of Planet Earth. The herculean effort to collate the material for this book was duly recognized: garnering several prominent awards in 2009 (Montana Environmental Award and the New Zealand Post Book award – Environment Category). Two reprints later, it could rightly be considered one of the most popular books on New Zealand’s geology and landscapes.
