Man Versus Mother Earth: In Loco Parentis (Paperback or Softback)

John Aldrick graduated from Melbourne University with a degree in Agricultural Science and a post-graduate Diploma of Education. He taught in secondary schools, and later gained a master's degree in Tropical Geomorphology at the University of New England. He worked for State and Territory government departments across Australia and in the CSIRO. His career then took a quantum shift to international consulting, operating freelance with international companies around the under-developed world as a natural resources specialist, including assessment and mapping of natural resource systems, landscape dynamics, use of land for best productivity and least environmental deterioration, and land use planning. This graduated to large scale training programs for staff in these countries. He has written more than 40 technical publications and reports from a dozen different countries as well as Australia.
