Book Launch: Fire & Ice by Hazel Phillips

Join us in the shop to celebrate the launch of Hazel Phillips' new book, Fire & Ice: Secrets, histories, treasures and mysteries of Tongariro National Park, published by Massey University Press.

This well-illustrated and lively exploration of the history of Ruapehu is told by a self-confessed ‘Ruapehu addict’ who has an uncanny talent for persuading a cast of great characters to join her on her explorations and investigations. With more than 200 historic and present-day images and 25 maps, it’s a must-have for all who love skiing, climbing and tramping around this mighty mountain.

Hazel Phillips is the author of four books: Fire & Ice (2025); Solo: Backcountry adventuring in Aotearoa New Zealand (2022); Wild Westie (2014), a biography of Sir Bob Harvey; and Sell! (2013), a history of the advertising industry.

All welcome!
