Was 99.00. AUSTRALIAN TROPICAL RAINFORESTS edited by LJ Webb and J Kikkawa, hardback. A CSIRO publication. North Queensland's rainforests occupy the only part of mainland Australia that has persisted continuously as wet tropics for about the last 65 million years (since the Cretaceous period), when the continent was a portion of the supercontinent Gondwana. Because many primitive families of the world's flowering plants occur as relics, these forests have immense scientific importance as an exceptional habitat for many unique plant and animal species still living there. This book provides a description and interpretation of the evolution, biology and dynamics of Australia's northern rainforests not only from a scientific viewpoint but also from the more humanistic eyes of those interested in philosophy, ethics and ecopolitics., Predominantly text, few illustrations.
