Reflections On The Great Barrier Reef
Here is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature and significance of reef, in particular Australia's World-Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef. This book offers an exhilarating tour of it, both above and below the glinting surface, from a variety of angles: marine science, history, ecology, culture, and especially her lively personal reflections. Through the perceptions of other people across time - Aboriginals, pearlers, early naturalists and filmmakers, today's reef scientists, greenies and resource managers - we glimpse the meaning of the human encounter with a wonder of nature.
'Reefscape' inspires delight, imagination and spirit in all who yearn for the transcendance of turquoise waters - with goggles or from comfy armchair.
