Octavo, paperback,250 pp.,tables, figures. This book brings together the leading researchers from relevant disciplines (planning, geography, environmental studies, public policy) to critically review environmental management over the past decade, and to identify the challenges in environmental management that must be met by the new government. Instead of the uncritical advocacy that sometimes accompanies experiments in environmental governance and policy, this volume will provide a dispassionate, critical and empirical review in an effort to deepen understanding and improve the national quest for sustainability.

Quarto, paperback,176 pp.,colour photographs, maps. With the knowledge from our deserts, Australians can reshape the human story. The desert is teaching us new ways to live, manage slender resources, and cope with lack of water and energy, harsh climate and isolation. These issues will confront most of the world's citizens in the 21st Century, as climate change, population growth and resource scarcity impact on society. The deserts also teach us what it is to be Australian, how to dwell within the rhythms and constraints of a vast continent that is three quarters arid. Australians find it hard to decide about the Outback: is it remote and unassailable â " or at the core of our national identity? Endlessly we debate whether we should develop the inland â " or ignore it, because it's too hard and too costly. Learning how to live well in desert Australia lies at the heart of our destiny as a nation, and at the centre of our response to climate change. It engages the culture, knowledge and skills that will matter most to future Australians as they strive to sustain themselves in world on the edge of sustainability. It is the ultimate test of our resolve to discover a truly Australian way to live on this continent. As the world faces increasing drought in the uncertain climate of the future, it is also a source of knowledge to export to many other places. This book is a wake-up call to Australia and the world. It explores wellsprings of creativity and innovation from the desert that can deliver solutions to the challenges of living in an uncertain and threatening future. It describes many positive lessons for our nation and humanity in a changing and resource-scarce world.

Illustrations (illustrator). third edition, revised).Octavo, paperback,246 pp.,diagrams. This handbook specifies methods, standards and terminology used in soil and land survey investigations related to practical problems of land use and the scientific study of land and soil. It has been widely used and adopted as a standard throughout Australia, providing one reference set of definitions for the characterisation of landform and vegetation and for the description of soils. The handbook advocates that a comprehensive suite of land and soil attributes be recorded in a uniform manner. This approach is held to be more useful than the allocation of land or soil to preconceived types or classes. Its usefulness is enhanced where computer facilities are available. This revised edition contains significant changes to the Vegetation chapter and revisions to the Location chapter bringing it up-to-date with the use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and changes to the Substrate chapter relating to the regolith. This title allows for systematic recording of field observations. It lists attributes necessary to describe site and soil conditions. It's definitions of attributes, terms and categories are internationally consistent but particular emphasis is given to Australian conditions. It suggests coding for attributes, terms and categories to allow concise recording systems to be developed for field use.
