Game Animals of New Zealand: A Portfolio

Only a hunter with infinite skill, a man with endless patience and a photographer with superb talent could have taken these magnificent photographs of New Zealand's great game animals in their natural habitats, recorded at close quarters and in fine detail. This distillation of countless hours and days spent in the animals' territory - waiting, observing, interacting - makes this book a singular record of these majestic animals.But Gordon Roberts has produced more than a book of magnificent photographs; It is a window on a world few will see because of the rigours of being in these environments. Through it, we too can capture a glimpse of the crispness of winter, the heat of summer, and experience the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of a day spent alone in the mountains.Gordon Roberts' love of New Zealand's high country and its animals has led to the publication of this, his third book on the subject and the first portfolio of his impressive Wildlife photographs. A lifetime of work and experience in the back country of New Zealand, initially as a professional hunter, later as a forest ranger and more recently as a professional photographer, has given him a unique perspective on these animals and their habitats.
