"From the 1840s to the First World War, the South Island of New Zealand was transformed as runholders claimed large tracts of land, burned off the negative vegetation and initiated large-scale sheep farming for wool and, later, meat production. In Making sheep country, Robert Peden focuses on one case study in particular, John Barton Acland and Mt Peel Station in South Canterbury, to explain how the pastoralists modified their environment." --Front flap.
