Tarawera: The Destruction of the Pink and White Terraces

Grantham House, Wellington, 1985. HB in good used condition with DW.

Thoroughly researched and arrestingly illustrated in colour and black and white, Geoff Conly's compelling account of the Tarawera eruption examines every aspect of the disaster. He writes vividly of the human loss, fear and grief, and describes clearly and accessibly the geological phenomena which annihilated a thriving community and destroyed the Pink and White Terraces, claimed with justification by many to have been the eighth wonder of the world.
