Inhaltsangabe
Images of pristine forests, mountain ranges, untameable rivers, and empty expanses of coastline are the key attraction in how Aotearoa New Zealand is promoted internationally: '100% Pure,' no less. Such wildness is a part of New Zealand's psychological and physical core. This book searches for an understanding of 'the wild' of what makes this New Zealand wilderness such an important part of an individual's psyche. The 17 essays come from hikers, scientists, conservationists, policy-makers, photographers, historians, and writers. Together, they examine many aspects of the idea of wilderness, such as: What and where is New Zealand's wilderness? * Is the wilderness something that should be 'locked up' or not? * How do the Maori see their wilderness? * How is it defined by law? * What is the government's policy? * What do the people want of their wilderness? * Should its resources be exploited? Exploring the 'possibility' of wilderness lies at the book's core. What could the wilderness in Aotearoa New Zealand become, and, consequently, what might its people also become?
