This short, stimulating guide to 100 of the most interesting buildings and sites of New Zealand is concise, informative, highly readable and beautifully illustrated. Each entry tells the story of the significance of the building or site and its place in New Zealand's history and is accompanied by one of two photographs. A map locates each historical place for easy reference.
Included are architectural icons such as the stone store at Kerikeri and Larnach's Castle, but also lesser known places that are important for their historical value, as well as modern buildings and structures such as the Auckland Harbour Bridge. The book also features archaeological sites and a few New Zealand Wars battlefields.
Arranged chronologically, the book is both lively and informative. Readers of all ages will find it a stimulating snapshot of New Zealand history.
