Synopsis


Australia's Northern Territory is twice the size of Texas with a population less than one-tenth that of Houston. How could so vast a place be a setting for environmental abuse? American anthropologist Richard Symanski shows how the Outback's ecology has been drastically altered as Europeans, Aborigines, wild species, and introduced species make their impact on the land and on each other.

Review


"An engaging book, well written and interesting. The message is about the choices we must make between short- and long-term advances, between the soft words and the hard."—Wilson Library Bulletin
