ABOUT
The history of New Zealand's first hundred years of dam building.
Based on extensive research utilising both New Zealand and overseas resources, this publication places on record the extraction of kauri logs, mining of gold, and the supply of water to towns and cities. While these pioneering dams were not large by world standards, they were built in their thousands by bush men, miners and engineers and, taken collectively, contributed significantly to the economy of the country at that time and into this century.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
CONDITION
Immaculate, near new with only shelf wear on dust jacket and name inside from end paper, no stamps or inscriptions.
