Author: Glen Coates (Illus Geoffrey Cox) Publisher: Canterbury University Press
The Southern Alps/Ka Tiritiri o te Moana are New Zealand's largest structural feature. Running north and south for most of the length of the South Island, they cross the Roaring Forties and divide the island into two distinct regions, east and west, each with its own unique climate, landscape and lifeforms. In this book, geologist Glen Coates joins with the artist and author Geoffrey Cox to tell how the Alps were formed from ancient marine sediments, how they were uplifted to become mountains, and how they are being eroded down to produce the spectacular landscape seen today in the South Island. Even in just the past few million years vast blocks of land have been shunted incredible distances, and today frequent earthquakes remind us that this is a restless part of the earth where mountain-building is still in full swing. Rivers and glaciers, past and present, carve out a multitude of valleys and ranges, and wide plains have spread out at the mountains' feet. All this is told in vivid, non-technical language and copiously illustrated with colour photographs and artwork. The result is a book suitable for use in schools and by all who take an interest in their landscape and heritage. Paperback

Nice for raves/festivals
A good set of pre-arranged face jewels. Quick and easy to apply compared to sets that just come with individual pieces meant to be placed one by one. Goes on easy, adheres well. A nice way to spice up a night out.

fun face gems - takes the guesswork on figuring out design of face gems
Simple to put on a nice face gem design. Just peel and stick. You can make it last longer by just doing one side per use instead of applying one whole sheet at once.
Doesn't hurt when removing and no irritation afterwards.

Packaged not good
Item is great! Really pretty. Packaged horribly with clear packaging for everyone to see and they got rained on and it went through each one.

Order by them selves
Flavor Name: Americana
Great product, dogs love them. Be careful not to order with heavy items, as Amazon zombies will box them up with such items as Hint flavored waters. Image potato chips at the bottom of a paper grocery bag and a gallon or two of milk on top.
