The 1:50, 000 topographic map gives a more general picture of the ground features than a basic map. It shows settlements, houses, roads, cultivated areas, waterways, cutting areas, mires, rock exposures, & relief. One map sheet covers an area of 30 x 40 km & one centimetre corresponds to 500 metres on the ground. The 1:50, 000 topographic map is also an ideal complement to nautical charts as it provides useful information about the land areas adjacent to waterways. For example, all Finnish sea areas are covered by 1:50, 000 topographic map sheets. ...

New Zealand`s best-known bird & national icon is the subject of this new & highly accessible title from two experts in their field. There are five recognised species of kiwi, distributed unevenly in locations throughout New Zealand & ranging from the most widespread
- the North Island brown kiwi
- to the most endangered (the little spotted kiwi). Along with stunning photographs from award-winning wildlife photographer Rod Morris, native bird expert Dr Isabel Castrol describes all key aspects of kiwi, from their evolution, prehistory & closest relatives (based on the latest research) to their feeding & breeding behaviour & current conservation issues, making this the perfect introduction for anyone with an interest in these fascinating birds. The series Kiwi is the second title in a new A5-sized full-colour series from New Holland on New Zealand`s wildlife, targeted at a family readership. The first title is Penguins of New Zealand by Lloyd Spencer Davis & Rod Morris.

When Polly Evans read a survey claiming that the last bastion of masculinity, the real Kiwi bloke, was about to breathe his last, she was seized by a sense of foreboding. Abandoning the London winter she took off on a motorbike for the windswept beaches & golden plains of New Zeal&, hoping to root out some examples of this endangered species for posterity. But her challenges didn`t stop at the men. Just weeks after passing her test, Polly rode from Auckland`s glitzy Viaduct Basin to the vineyards of Hawkes Bay & on to the Southern Alps. She found wild kiwis in the dead of night, kayaked among dolphins at dawn, & spent an evening on a remote hillside with a sheep-shearing gang. As she travelled, Polly reflected on the Maori warriors who carved their enemies` bones into cutlery, the pioneer family who lived in a tree, & the flamboyant gold miners who lit their pipes with five-pound notes, & wondered how their descendents have become pathologically obsessed with helpfulness & Coronation Street. The author of the highly acclaimed It`s Not About the Tapas reaches some unexpected conclusions about the new New Zealand man
- & finds that evolution has taken some unlikely twists.
