In a highly biodiverse part of Australia, the Kimberley conveys the excitement of discovering a new species, the resurgence of life in once fire-ravaged places, and the effect of humans on the landscape. This is the Kimberley at its most beautiful, from teeming bird life to elusive desert animals; from cascading waterfalls and tangled vine thickets to wide savannah plains. The book offers world-class photography, information on up-to-date scientific discoveries, and an in-depth understanding of the balance between flora, fauna, land, and sea. Featuring over 200 stunning images in full color, The Kimberley is well-written, accessible, and engaging.

The book also includes full colour maps, stunning imagery and knowledge only a life-long local knows.
For many years Plants of the Kimberley Region of Western Australia has been an important resource for pastoral managers and rangeland advisors in managing vegetation and land issues. This revised edition includes changes to 50 plant names, and also updates the introductory sections about the Kimberley region and the principles of rangeland management. The 240 species covered in the book are organized in three sections: grasses and herbs, shrubs, and trees, and constitute a unique flora not dealt with in any other single text. With its straightforward text and excellent photographs, this book is a valuable reference for students of ecology and range science as well as appealing to nature-lovers, conservationists and travelers in the Kimberley region.

Canyons, Revised Edition chronicles the origins, history, and structure of the world's most breathtaking gorges, from North America's spectacular Grand Canyon to western Australia's exciting Windjana Gorge, where the Leonard River snakes its way through an ancient barrier reef. This eBook also discusses tectonic activity, undersea canyons, liquid rock, and pinpoints recent scientific studies and modern-day ecological challenges.
In Contested Country, leading researchers in planning, geography, environmental studies and public policy critically review Australia's environmental management under the auspices of the Natural Heritage Trust over the past decade, and identify the challenges that must be met in the national quest for sustainability. It is the first comprehensive, critical examination of the local and regional natural resources management undertaken in Australia, using research sourced from all states as well as the Northern Territory. It addresses questions such as: How is accountability to be maintained? Who is included and who is excluded in decentralised environmental governance? Does the scale of bottom-up management efforts match the scale of environmental problems? How is scientific and technical fidelity in environmental management to be maintained when significant activities are devolved to and controlled by local communities? The book challenges some of the accepted benefits, assumptions and ideologies underpinning regional scaled environmental management, and is a must-read for anyone interested in this field.
The Kimberley, the far north-west of Australia, is one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the continent. Some fifty-five Aboriginal languages belonging to five different families are spoken within its borders. Few of these languages are currently being passed on to children, most of whom speak Kriol (a new language that arose about half a century ago from an earlier Pidgin English) or Aboriginal English (a dialect of English) as their mother tongue and usual language of communication. This book describes the Aboriginal languages spoken today and in the recent past in this region.
"Many of the papers in this volume present new and innovative research into the processes of maritime colonisation, processes that affect archaeological contexts from islands to continents. Others shift focus from process to the archaeology of maritime places from the Bering to the Torres Straits, providing highly detailed discussions of how living by and with the sea is woven into all elements of human life from subsistence to trade and to ritual. Of equal importance are more abstract discussions of islands as natural places refashioned by human occupation, either through the introduction of new organisms or new systems of production and consumption. These transformation stories gain further texture (and variety) through close examinations of some of the more significant consequences of colonisation and migration, particularly the creation of new cultural identities. A final set of papers explores the ways in which the techniques of archaelogical sciences have provided insights into the fauna of the islands and the human history of such places."--Provided by publisher.
