The Southern Alps/Ka Tiritiri o te Moana are New Zealand's largest structural feature. Running north and south for most of the length of the South Island, they cross the Roaring Forties and divide the island into two distinct regions, east and west, each with its own unique climate, landscape and lifeforms. In this book, geologist Glen Coates joins with the artist and author Geoffrey Cox to tell how the Alps were formed from ancient marine sediments, how they were uplifted to become mountains, and how they are being eroded down to produce the spectacular landscape seen today in the South Island. Even in just the past few million years vast blocks of land have been shunted incredible distances, and today frequent earthquakes remind us that this is a restless part of the earth where mountain-building is still in full swing. Rivers and glaciers, past and present, carve out a multitude of valleys and ranges, and wide plains have spread out at the mountains' feet. All this is told in vivid, non-technical language and copiously illustrated with colour photographs and artwork. The result is a book suitable for use in schools and by all who take an interest in their landscape and heritage. Paperback

Very nice
Size: Large, Color: Blue White Petal
Perfect length and fit and doesn't cling if you like a more relaxed look. I purchased 3 of these for work and I love them. I can wear them with khaki cropped pants and sandals, very cute. After washing and line drying there hasn't been any shrinkage and the fabric stays nice. Perfect for warmer weather climates!

Sizing seems to be different depending on color!
Size: Large, Color: Mini Leopard
Ordered in Mini Leopard in Large and Pink in Medium. The Mini leopard was too big and the Pink was to small! Decided to return both and order the pink in large. That fits!!! Sizing is different in different colors! Like the style and hopefully it will wash okay. Kept the pink, large! It did come extremely creased!

Sizes not consistent
Size: Medium, Color: Mini Leopard
Hit or miss with these. I got 3 all the same size. One is perfect, ones a little tight and one I can't even wear bc the sleeves are so tight. Hang to dry or you'll have super wrinkles.
