Produktbeschreibung

What happened to the globally-beloved kangaroo, koala and other Australian indigenous animals under the beliefs and traditions of colonialism? How did their fate during 200 years of nation building become a fugitive drama of dispossession and disrespect - and what is today's little-known and blood-stained legacy in a world rapidly losing its biodiversity?

Documentary journalist Maria Taylor, author of Global warming and climate change: what Australia knew and buried, unveils a cultural history of warfare against Australia's other indigenous inhabitants. Her investigation exposes David and Goliath battles for the wildlife and nature of Australia - with worldwide echo's. But here also are paths to reconciliation and sharing that meld the ecological and the economic.

Voices in these pages come from citizen activists, first Australians, scientists and authors, farmers and industry whistleblowers.

Autorenporträt

Maria Taylor is an award-winning journalist and former documentary film-maker whose work over more than three decades in both Australia and the United States has focused on sustainable resource management and environmental issues. Her book - What Australia knew and buried... then framed a new reality for the public - was developed from PhD research at the National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science of The Australian National University. Taylor's multi-disciplinary investigation of the public record and the input of science, politics, economics, journalism and contemporary mass media has revealed for the first time how and why Australia buried a once good understanding of global warming and climate change to arrive after 25 years at the confusion and stalemate we are still in today. The book is written for both a general audience and interested scholars. Taylor lives and works in regional NSW near the national capital, where she publishes a monthly community newspaper The District Bulletin.
