ABOUT
A Biography of the Australian naturalist Andreas Reischek (1845-1902), author of The Classic Yesterdays in Maoriland, who came to New Zealand in 1877 for two years and stayed for twelve.
He returned to Vienna in 1889 with the last great collection of artifacts and natural specimens to be taken to Europe from the South Seas - 14,000 items.
He has been hailed by some as one of New Zealand's great explorers and scientists, and he has been vilified by others as an accomplished charlatan who bribed and cheated his way through the Antipodes. The author, Michael King has set out to provide a lucid and balanced evaluation of Reiscek's life and work.
Illustrated with monochrome images and maps.
