Softcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. New Zealand, a long and narrow country, lies at the intersection of two massive crustal plates. The central mountain ranges, extending from Fiordland to East Cape, have been uplifted by the immense forces generated as one plate collides with the other. This dynamic environment, combined with steep slopes and heavy rainfall, creates a high risk for landslides. The major faults that traverse the country are a direct result of this tectonic activity, as the Pacific Plate attempts to subduct beneath the Australian Plate, leading to approximately 17,000 earthquakes annually. The central North Island features prominent volcanic cones, with Taupo being one of the most explosive and active volcanoes globally. Additionally, New Zealand's location in the Southwest Pacific makes it susceptible to tsunamis and severe weather events. Every New Zealander is likely to encounter one of these natural hazards at some point in their lives. This essential book provides vital insights into the risks facing this stunning yet unstable land, offering guidance on how to navigate and survive these challenges. It features contributions from leading experts on various geological and meteorological phenomena, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the country's hazards.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This edited collection brings together over 550 documents relating to the foreign policy of the British Conservative governments formed in 1852, 1858, 1866 and 1874. Produced by key policy-makers such as Benjamin Disraeli and successive Earls of Derby, they consider the major issues of the day, including the declaration of the French Second Empire, the wars of Italian Unification, the Austro-Prussian war and the great Eastern crisis of 1874-8. Despite the huge impact of these events, this is the first collection of primary material entirely devoted to the foreign policy of these governments. These documents permit a fuller understanding of mid-Victorian Britain's window on the world, as well as a thorough reappraisal of the dramatic clash between Disraeli and his Foreign Secretary, the fifteenth Earl of Derby. Recent renewed interest in this period among historians makes this publication a timely one.…
