Words for Country : Landscape & Language in Australia Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Stories and phrases can powerfully shape the ways in which we experience and manage our environment.

What languages have been used to characterize Australian landscapes and how have they influenced the way we see and treat our environment?

This work answers this question and more, while exploring the inter-relationship between Australia's landscape and language.

It covers a collection of essays whose subjects range from the Ord River in the far north-west to Antarctica in the south, from the centre to the coast, the prehistoric to the present.

Its terrain is both environmental and cultural, political and poetic.
