- Summary:
- "Deep histories, both natural and human, have been woven together over hundreds of years in places across TaÌmaki Makaurau Auckland, forming potent sites of national significance. This ... book unearths these histories in three iconic landscapes: Pukekawa/Auckland Domain, Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and the OÌtuataua Stonefields at IhumaÌtao. Approaching landscapes as an archive, Lucy Mackintosh delves deeply into specific places, allowing us to understand histories that have not been written into books or inscribed upon memorials, but which still resonate through Auckland and beyond"--Publisher information.
