Large quarto hardcover; blue boards with white spine titling and silver endpapers; 276pp., colour illustrations. Inscription. A few scattered spots on text block edges; slight rippling to lower rear edges and very mild wear to dustwrapper edges. Very good to near fine and wrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Australia is a continent surrounded by islands of every kind - from craggy basalt pinnacles to sandy coral caves. Yet very little is known about many of these island jewels. Remote and unspoilt islands are the prime focus of conservation and scientific research. Other islands have been home to Aborigines or were used for foraging grounds and sites for ritual ceremony. For European explorers, islands were a key feature of the voyages and for subsequent settlers the islands have continued to be sites of endeavour and exploration. This work describes the heritage, wilderness character and history of 27 islands in terms of vegetation and wildlife, climate, geology and landforms, marine life, cultural heritage and conservation significance. It also includes Aboriginal stories and legends, material from the journal of European navigators and explorers, and literary and contemporary references. Each island is illustrated by colour photographs and oil paintings as well as selected historical drawings and photographs. For every island or island group, a map and information box give details of location, climate, accessibility and facilities.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Australias mountains may not stand as tall as the many mightier peaks stretched across other continents, but it is worth posing the inevitable rhetorical question: does size, as in height, really matter?The mountains of Australia can be measured by the yardstick of time rather than heightthe great sagas of the earth from its earliest days are inscribed for those who care to look closely. On the top of Mount Everest you can touch the edge of outer space but in the Australian mountains you can feel the beginning of time.True to the diversity of the Australian continent, our mountains are home to natural habitats of both exquisite beauty and astonishing variety as well as, sadly, rapidly increasing rarity. Our First Nations People have an enduring spiritual connection to many of these sites, and they have been a rich source of inspiration for many painters, poets, photographers and writers.Alasdair McGregor traces the rise and fall of the Australian continent, from mountains of ice and fire to those of iron and those with their heads in the clouds. An expansive contemplation of natural, geological and social history, McGregors account defies Australias reputation as the flattest continent on earth, illuminating the landscape in all its breathtaking height and glory.

From the dust jacket: "The Kimberley is one of the most remarkable yet least known parts of Australia. Occupying an immense area of the continent's north-west, it is remote, sparsely populated, and a marvel of natural diversity. As a region it stands apart. The great arc of ranges to the south and east effectively isolates the region from the rest of the mainland. The deeply indented coastline to the north, fortified by rugged cliffs and washed by monstrous tides, completes the Kimberley's natural borders Home to an extraordinary array of wildlife and vegetation, the Kimberley stands as one of the world's last great natural refuges. From its scorched desert fringes and vast eucalypt woodlands, to pockets of remnant rainforest and coastal mangrove communities patrolled by saltwater crocodiles, there is a variety of habitats with few equals." Bound in the original green boards, stamped in bright gold on the spine. Complete with dust jacket. 8.5" wide by 11.5" tall. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The story of Australia in the middle decades of the 20th century from 1930 to 1980 is one of dramatic contrast; of dark days and light of economic struggle, anxiety, war and sacrifice, giving way from the 1950s onwards to pros-perity, plenty and confidence. In Living Memory surveys these decades with a collection of fascinating and entertaining photographs of everyday Australian life. Author Alasdair McGregor places the images in their historical context with a thoughtful essay to introduce each of the four chapters the way we lived, the way we moved, the way we worked and the way we played. This warmly nostalgic collection will appeal to all ages. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
