Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Slight curve to right tail corner - as if the book has not been shelve correctly. Interior and binding are still excellent.

So often, we take the land for granted; it seems disarmingly real and elemental. Yet in Australia, as in most parts of the world, conflicts rage incessantly over land and its use. We even use the phrase 'contested ground' as a metaphor for all sorts of arguments and differences.

Country: Visons of Land People in Western Australia reflects on the unique character of people's experiences in Western Australian landscapes. It explains some of the major environmental changes over the past two centuries and considers their cultural meaning. This is a book for anyone who wants to know more about the people and places in the western third of the Australian continent.
