Description

The book is unique, spanning the gap between botany and indigenous studies. It differs from other published Australian bushtucker overviews by treating the study of plants as a window upon which to delve into Aboriginal culture.

Description

"This book will provide an overview of indigenous relationships to plants in Aboriginal Australia. It should become a major textbook for use by students of all ages, as well as having popular appeal, both in Australia and abroad. The impetus for the book is largely drawn from the establishment of the new permanent Australian Aboriginal Cultures Gallery at the South Australian Museum, which presently receives more than 700,000 visitors per year. The book contains themes that the author has been researching and publishing for twenty years. The book is unique, spanning the gap between botany and indigenous studies. It differs from other published Australian 'bushtucker' overviews by treating the study of plants as a window upon which to delve into Aboriginal culture."--book jacket.
