This book takes an appealing, informal look at New Zealand through the lens of German photographer Karl Johaentges. It is a completely revised and updated new edition of the best-selling Pictures from New Zealand, originally published in 1997 by Craig Potton Publishing.

Karl Johaentges's candid and striking photographs cover the length and bredth of New Zealand, from Cape Reinga to Bluff, and Fiordland to the East Cape.

Opening the book is an introduction essay by Annie Wheeler which gives a broad overview of the history of Aotearoa, from its origins on the super-continent of Gondwana to the new sense of place it is finding in the Pacific.
