"For readers who identify with nature conservation in New Zealand, many of the stories in this book will evoke a sympathetic appeal and a common understanding. 'Elisabeth's Story' explains a pioneering New Zealand woman's personal, life-long connection to Kiwi conservation after the manner of the French peasant of author Jean Giono's famous short story 'The Man Who Planted Trees.' 'For the Love of Birds' sets an enchanting theme where personal stories are interspersed by appeals for intelligent reasoning when interpreting nature events. In a surprise fictional contribution, guest writer Jean-Paul du Pries suggests in 'Chilling Predictions' that in our tragically fractured world, sadly, perhaps not all is as secure for New Zealanders and New Zealand wildlife as we might wish"

This book pays tribute to the tenacity and sailing skills of four young New Zealanders who sailed an epic voyage in their Chinese junk Golden Lotus in 1962. On their 8,500 mile journey from Hong Kong to New Zealand they confronted violent storms in the South China Sea, Indian Ocean and Tasman Sea. They challenged poisonous and powerful Komodo dragons on an uninhabited Indonesian island; encountered mid-ocean sharks of mean proportions; overcame the many navigational hazards of the Barrier Reef Coast of Australia. Brian Clifford, master Navigator at age 23, orchestrated every aspect of this classic adventure. Skillful celestial navigation, adventurous spirits and the raw energy of a youthful crew combined with total self reliance to win the day.
