Murray River Country: An Ecological Dialogue with Traditional Owners

Autor Jessica K. Weir
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2009
This book discusses the water crisis from a unique perspective -- the intimate stories of love and loss from the perspectives of Aboriginal people who know the inland rivers as their traditional country. These experiences bring a fresh narrative to contemporary water debates about living in the Murray-Darling Basin, and how we should look to more sustainable ways to live in Australia as our approach to water is changing in the face of water scarcity, drought, climate change, and water mismanagement. This book brings new insights to these issues by focusing our attention on what Indigenous people from along the Murray are experiencing, saying, and doing.

Recenzii

"Weir's originality is innovative and inspirational. She captures the MRC Indigenous people's holistic approach in reading the ecological statements of managing water and the benefits of this for everyone and the MRC's ecology." --Dr. Payi-Linda Ford, senior lecturer, Charles Darwin University
