Australian Plant Communities
Environmental managers and planners predicting the short- and long-term effects of environmental changes on ecosystems need to understand the basic principles of plant community physiology. This textbook is the first synthesis of the physiological processes that shape Australian vegetation atthe level of the entire plant community. It examines the basic principles of community physiology by referring to the vegetation o fAustralia, with its great diversity of natural plant communities, many of which are still relatively undisturbed. The principles developed are applicable to landscapesthroughout the world, By revealing the fundamental determinants of vegetation structure, the book enables the effects of clmate change on biodiversity, of both vegetation and its associated faune, to be predicted. Lavishly illustrated and written in a clear and concise style, the text refers to manystudies of the processes operating in Australian vegetation. It is an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental science and planning, as well as an invaluable reference work.

Exploring the Legacy of the 1948 Arnhem Land Expedition
"In 1948 a collection of scientists, anthropologists and photographers journeyed to northern Australia for a seven-month tour of research and discovery - now regarded as 'the last of the big expeditions'. The American-Australian Scientific Expedition to Arnhem Land was front-page news at the time, but 60 years later it is virtually unknown. This lapse into obscurity was due partly to the fraught politics of Australian anthropology and animus towards its leader, the Adelaide-based writer-photographer Charles Mountford. Promoted as a 'friendly mission that would foster good relations between Australia and its most powerful wartime ally, the Expedition was sponsored by National Geographic, the Smithsonian Institution and the Australian Government. An unlikely cocktail of science, diplomacy and popular geography, the Arnhem Land Expedition put the Aboriginal cultures of the vast Arnhem Land reserve on an international stage." -- Publisher's website.
