An Exquisite Legacy - The Life and Work of New Zealand Naturalist G.V. Hudson

Abstract

This book is about one of New Zealand’s greatest pioneering entomologists, George Vernon Hudson, whose story and legacy has an impact on everyone who is interested in the insects of Aotearoa. Beyond this, it will also doubtlessly fascinate anyone, even those not particularly fond of bugs, since Gibbs paints a powerful picture of his grandfather in his usual eloquent style.
