Softcover. When hunters and gatherers arrived in Australia many tens of thousands of years ago, their burning, hunting, and vegetable gathering practices caused substantial change in the continent's vegetation. In the last two centuries, European settlers have greatly accelerated the process, sometimes wiping out entire vegetation types as they clear vast areas for farms, forest plantations, houses, and roads. They continue to alter the nature of the remaining forests though the removal of wood, and their introduction to the region of new animal and plant species has dramatically changed large areas of the surviving bush. A Continent Transformed provides a succinct, accessible introduction to the biogeography of Australia, focusing in particular on the changes that have occurred and offering practical solutions for saving the continent's remarkable biological diversity. Written for people approaching the subject for the first time, the book highlights the latest scientific research on ecological issues in non-technical terms. Students of biogeography and ecology--indeed all those interested in the conservation of Australia's magnificent natural heritage--will find A Continent Transformed interesting, enlightening, and stimulating. Good condition, tanning.

Peter Herbert Dombrovskis (Latvian: Peteris Dombrovskis; 2 March 1945 28 March 1996) was an Australian photographer, known for his Tasmanian scenes. In 2003, he was posthumously inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame, the first Australian photographer to achieve that honour. Biography: Dombrovskis was born in 1945 in a refugee camp in Wiesbaden, Germany to Latvian parents. Together with his mother, he migrated to Australia in 1950, and they settled in Fern Tree, a suburb of Hobart. The protégé of noted wildlife photographer and activist Olegas Truchanas, his photographs of the Tasmanian Wilderness, particularly his own annual Tasmanian Wilderness Calendar and the Wilderness Calendar produced by the Tasmanian Wilderness Society, brought images of once remote and inaccessible areas of the state into the public realm. Dombrovskis founded West Wind Press in 1977 and later went on to print calendars entirely of his own work, featuring incisive commentary from pre-eminent environmental professionals. His most famous photograph is Morning Mist, Rock Island Bend, Franklin River, which some commentators believe played a part in the victory of Bob Hawke in the 1983 Australian federal election.[citation needed] The photograph portrayed a section of the Franklin River which was to be submerged by the proposed Franklin Dam, and it highlighted the visual appeal of the Franklin River during the contentious "No Dams" campaign of 1982. In 1983, Dombrovskis published a book, Wild Rivers, co-authored with Bob Brown, which exemplified his skill in photographing the Gordon and Franklin rivers. On 28 March 1996, Dombrovskis died of a heart attack while photographing near Mount Hayes, in the Western Arthurs mountain range in South-West Tasmania. His works are represented in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, the Australian Heritage Commission, and in private hands.(from Wikipedia).
