✦ Synopsis

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. The topic of Aboriginal use and perception of plants is vast and therefore far too large for full treatment of all regions in a single volume. Nevertheless, this book offers an overview to assist readers appreciate the depth of indigenous ecological knowledge about the environment.
