Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Amid the upsurge in interest in the Australian environment, there are few books that rely on first-hand experience of the devastating changes which have been wrought in the animal and plant worlds of this unique land.

Athol Douglas has a breadth of experience during a lifetime with the Western Australian Museum, which transcends the scientific barriers of specialisation. His work has taken him throughout the Australian bush, observing the countryside and the vital links between animal and plant communities.

Because of his concern about the destruction of habitats and the disappearance of creatures he has known since his childhood, he has discarded the scientific mystique and jargon so frequently adopted by his ‘professionals’, to relate his observations to a wider public.

He bursts myths and postulates provoking thoughts about the problems of wholesale drainage and the subsequent salination of the land. Mr Douglas clearly demonstrates that without a knowledge of the vital role of the invertebrates all attempts to conserve the environment are forlorn window-dressing. (back cover)
