Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. The Living Mantle: Soils in the New Zealand Landscape by Les Molloy. Publisher: Mallinson Rendel in association with the New Zealand Society of Soil Science, 1988, first edition. Very good hardback and jacket, no inscriptions, minor rubbing and bumping to edges, pages very good. Jacket has fading to spine and top edges, chipping to base of spine. This work illustrates the variety and characteristics of New Zealand soils, exploring the relationship between the soil and its landscape. For a small group of islands New Zealand has a most remarkable diversity of landscapes: mountainous and volcanic, alluvial and glacial, downland and coastal. For too long the fascinating range of soils which mantle these landscapes has awaited a popular treatment. This authoritative book commissioned by the New Zealand Society of Soil Science graphically illustrates their widely differing origins and characteristics. It outlines the environmental and human influences which have moulded New Zealand's soils, and explores the relationship between the soil and its landscape. After an introduction to how soils form, the reader is taken on a journey through twelve soil landscape regions, beginning with the volcanic soils in the centre of the North Island and finishing with the peaty soils of densely forested Stewart Island.
