About
"Although this is a book about a geologist, by a geologist, it is not a geological book. It is written to appeal to all those interested in the history of exploration, science, and the colonisation of New Zealand" -- Introd.
"McKay is the folk hero of New Zealand geology ... McKay was a key figure in laying the foundations for the high reputation New Zealand geological science enjoys internationally. A Scots immigrant in 1863, he explored much of the country, and was the first geologist anywhere to document horizontal movement in an earthquake. He was also a pioneer of the telephoto lens and photomicrography" -- Publisher's website.
