Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with all external stickers removed. Removal of inside date due slip has taken a layer of paper off the half-title page. Wear to book corners and edge. Scratch to front cover. Faint marks to foredges and inside front cover.

Tracing the life of the plants and animals of Forrestdale Lake, Perth, Western Australia, through the six seasons of the local indigenous people, the first part of Black Swan Lake presents a wetlands calendar over a yearly cycle of the rising, falling and drying waters of this internationally important wetland in south-western Australia.

The second part of this book considers issues and explores themes from the first part, including a cultural history of the seasons and the black swan.

Black Swan Lake is a book of nature writing and environmental history and philosophy arising from living in a particular place with other beings. The book is a guide to living simply and sustainably with the earth in troubled times and places by making and maintaining a strong attachment and vital connection to a local place and its flora and fauna. Local places and their living processes sustain humans and other life on this living earth. (back cover)
