Title: A continent transformed
First published: 1994
Description: "This new edition of A Continent Transformed provides a readable, entertaining, and scientifically-grounded account of the fate of the Australian bush since the arrival of the Aborigines more than 40,000 years ago. The past, present, and future interactions between the bush (and its native plant species) and farmers, foresters, gardeners, bushwalkers, pyromaniacs, and introduced organisms are the subject of this book. While A Continent Transformed includes a thorough appraisal of the harm that has often arisen from human impact, it nevertheless has a positive framework. Creative strategies for ensuring the future of Australia's wonderful bush are presented for all the interactions discussed, and these possibilities range from the local to the cosmic."--Jacket.
