- Summary:
- New Zealand was the last major landmass, other than Antarctica, to be settled by humans. In 'A Concise History of New Zealand Aotearoa', Philippa Mein Smith narrates the story of this rugged and dynamic land, from its origins in Gondwana, between 60 and 100 million years ago, its late settlement by Polynesian voyagers, and its colonisation by Europeans (and the exchanges that made these peoples Maori and Pakeha) to the dramatic struggles over land and efforts to manage global forces into the twenty-first century.
