Aboriginal biocultural knowledge in south-eastern Australia: perspectives of early colonists.
Melbourne: CSIRO Publishing, 2018. Octavo, paperback, illustrations, photographs.
This is the the first book to examine historical records from early colonists who interacted with south-eastern Australian Aboriginal communities and documented their understanding of the environment, natural resources such as water and plant and animal foods, medicine and other aspects of their material world. This book provides a compelling case for the importance of understanding Indigenous knowledge, to inform discussions around climate change, biodiversity, resource management, health and education.
