first edition).Octavo,432 pp.,illustrations, fine copy in dustwrapper. Taking art as his starting point, Bonyhady explores how issues such as the preservation of endangered species, the protection of forests, the maintenance of public rights over the foreshore and even the likelihood of climate change already loomed large in col…onial Australia. This is a story of activism and idealism, of intense appreciation of Australia's remarkable environment, and of sharp awareness of the limits to colonial growth. It is also a story of failure: of environmental ideals sacrifcied to political expediency and commercial self-interest; of innovative and enlightened laws ignored and broken. Drawing on a remarkable array of sources, from paintings and poems to reports of public meetings and parliamentary debates, 'The colonial earth' shows that far from being a product of the 1970s, an environmental aesthetic has always been part of the culture of European Australia.
