Samenvatting | This is the first book to survey the entire field of moa-related research, equaling some 150 years of inquiry. This large, flightless bird was hunted into extinction by the Maori tribes of New Zealand before the arrival of Europeans. Atholl Anderson brings a historical perspective to the development of moa research and its formative debates, analytical methods, and results, reviewing evidence from paleontology, biology, archaeology, ethnography, and history. The book is extensively illustrated with informative plates, maps, diagrams, and photographs. |
