This text offers an alternative account of the history of the Australian
environment and the lessons to be learned for conservation in the next
millennium. Spanning 50,000 years, it explores the myths that abound in
scientific and popular writing, and the theories about the place of humans in
the ecology of this vast landmass. In particular, the author demolishes the
widely accepted orthodoxy about the use of fire by Aborigines and their
supposed part in the extinction of the Australian megafauna.
