The foreword (by William Cronon, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) passionately sets forth the reasons for reprinting this work which was first published in 1921, and has remained obscure outside of New Zealand. He identifies it as one of the great English-language classics of environmental history.
“Author, Naturalist and Farmer Herbert Guthrie-Smith changed the landscapes of Tutira into the beautiful place it is today. “Tutira…The story of a New Zealand sheep station” takes you through Guthrie-Smiths extensive work with soils, sheep, environmental issues, bird photography and preserving Tutira to become the environmentally aware place it is today.”
