Exotic Intruders. The introduction of plants and animals into New Zealand.

Joan Druett

The complex story of the introduction of the myriad of plants and animals since the arrival of the first human settlers in the country, approximately one thousand years ago. Due to its long isolation and very recent colonisation, introduction of exotic species is a process well documented in New Zealand. Especially so since the nineteenth century establishment of acclimatisation societies by European settlers. This is an illustrated account of the many introductions, and of the people who made them. Black and white photographs throughout.
