In his new expanded and illustrated sequel to Continent in Crisis, David Smith shows that this country's investment in environmental research is starting to pay off: a great many Australians are working at solving the problems and are achieving notable successes. In a very real sense Australian research is leading the world towards solving the problems of overpopulation and overexploitation of resources. The key to achieving true ecological sustainability is to redefine the goals of society by substituting a model that incorporates two vital elements missing from the current economically-dominated approach - long-term strategic thinking and concern for social well-being.
Over 80 colour photographs, mostly taken by the author, illustrate the beauty and importance of Australia's living heritage, the threats to it and the visual evidence that repair can and is being achieved.
Saving a Continent is both a background briefing on the Australian environment and a provocative appraisal of our society's approach to ecologically sustainable development. Written for all those interested in Australia's environment and natural resources, whether professional, amateur or student, it is particularly commended to students on environmental studies programs.
