There were broad rivers, wide plains and tall forests, all of which, to European eyes, suggested promising sites for settlement. To many of the new settlers, the First Australians were a puzzle. They moved freely through country they knew intimately. They had useful things to say to the European newcomers – if they would listen. What few realised then was that Aboriginal people, and the land they lived in, were indistinguishable. Failure to read the people made it hard to read the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eInvisible Country \u003c\/i\u003edescribes the environmental change that has occurred in south-western Australia since European settlement, through four case studies of the development of local rivers, forests and coastal plains. These stories, compiled through extensive conversations with farmers, ecologists, traditional owners and others who rely on the land, are book-ended by an examination of the historical perspective in which these changes have occurred. It is a reminder that the land owns people, not the other way around, and is the beginning of a conversation about understanding and care for a land we are all lucky to live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePraise for Invisible Country:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI highly recommend this book to everyone who needs or desires to start their own journey to understanding of this complex and rich landscape and how they might live there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccite\u003eMICHAEL O'CONNOR, AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL STUDIES\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook DETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPUBLICATION DATE: December 2015\n\u003cp\u003eFORMAT: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEXTENT: 270 pages\u003cbr\u003eSIZE: C-format, 234 x 153mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781742586250\u003cbr\u003eRIGHTS: World Rights\u003cbr\u003eCATEGORY: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/bill-bunbury\"\u003eBill Bunbury\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/general-non-fiction\"\u003eGeneral Non-fiction\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/natural-history\"\u003eNatural History\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/staples-fund\"\u003eStaples Fund\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/uwap-scholarly\"\u003eUWAP Scholarly\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWA Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":37702639288520,"sku":"9781742586250","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":37702639321288,"sku":"9781742586251","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0542\/4573\/products\/Invisible_Country__Cover.jpg?v=1445405342"},{"product_id":"many-maps","title":"Many Maps: Charting Two Cultures: First Nations Australians and European Settlers in Western Australia","description":"\u003ch4\u003eBy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/bill-bunbury\"\u003eBill and Jenny Bunbury\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Winner of the RWAHS Williams Lee Steere Prize 2021 and the Oral History Australia 2021 Book Award\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe title \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMany Maps, Charting Two Cultures\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, looks at the way two contrasting societies often misunderstood each other in the western third of Australia.
