1st Edition in this form. William J. Lines traces Australia's history from the continent's geological origins, natural development, and earliest native cultures to its present-day state of population and economic overgrowth at the expense of the fragile environmental balance. In particular, Lines examines the period between Australia's British colonization and the present, illuminating a path of environmental destruction from the colonists' Enlightenment views to the end of our century. Indeed, the author's new afterword startles us with the urgency of Australia's plight. Lines describes in great detail the recent damages done to the continent's land, people, and national integrity in the name of "progress". He writes of continued land exploitation through mining, deforestation, and the excessive animal, plant, and land resource consumption of Australia's burgeoning population. Although he places considerable blame on government officials and economic developers, Lines argues that Western civilization as a whole must change its view of the land and its resources. The scope of Taming the Great South Land reaches far beyond the continental boundaries of Australia and other political world borders. He urges us to recognize the magnitude of our responsibility, as a world community, to preserve the natural balances on which our very existence depends. Fine paperback copy.

For more than 60 years, a small group of dedicated people have been fighting to defend Australia's unique wildlife. Those conservationists battle indifference and hostility from government and developers, whose actions are responsible for the decimation of spectacular natural beauty. Although much has been lost, the conservation movement has won great victories and secured the preservation of some of the world's most pristine and ecologically important landscapes. Patriots is the powerful and provocative account of this nation-defining struggle. Charting the emergence of a new national green movement and its members' commitment to nature's survival, this exploration details the landmark environmental battles already faced as well as those lurking on the horizon.

Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. AUSTRALIANA Flora & Fauna Agriculture -Â Author of the highly acclaimed Taming the Great South Land: A History of the conquest of Nature in Australia and An All Consuming Passion: Origins, Modernity, and the Australian Life of Geogiana Molloy, Bill Lines tums his critical gaze to the twentieth-century history of Australia in this forthright and highly committed study. That history, he believes, has been marked by a total disregard for limits, and an arrogant belief in the desirability of progress and growth. The devastation wrought upon the Australian landscape by Europeans has dire consequences which will be felt far in the future.Lines expertly weaves into his picture the stories of his own family, beginning with his grandparents who emigrated to Australia early this century, and culminating in his own experience of the loss of an idyllic boyhood landscape to the onslaught of progress. The grand epic continually refers back to intimate, personal level, making this, above all, a very human story. 364 p. : ill., maps, ports. ; 23 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 333-342) and index.
