It's all about a German spy plot to steal two American inventions deemed of inestimable value for war use. One is a camera for taking a map of the country from an airship. The other is a process for making glass armor—coats of mail of interwoven mica and glass that Mauser bullets cannot penetrate. Washington, D. C., is the locale. . . . Almost everybody turns out to be a bit of a spy, and the last unraveling chapter certainly carries the element of complete surprise - Summary by Book Review Digest, v.12 (1916-1917).

He traveled in the Marlborough Sounds at the top of the South Island and extensively throughout the North Island at an early time in European settlement. In Volume I of 'Travels in New Zealand' he describes his travels, integrating his observations of the natural world with the progress of colonisation, and a humane account of the Māori people that he met and their culture, settlements and inter-tribal politics. He made an important contribution to the early knowledge of the New Zealand flora and fauna, with his collections eventually being lodged in the British Museum and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.Note: Māori words have been pronounced as spelled in the text, which is occasionally different to modern spelling and pronunciation.(summary by Gail Timmerman-Vaughan) More information: https://librivox.org/travels-in-new-zealand-by-ernst-dieffenbach/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
