Comparative examples from around the world are included to place Australia and its unique environmental characteristics within the global context.
Fully illustrated and with case studies clearly linking link the theoretical content to real life issues, this book gives Australian students an understanding of the science of the continent's physical environment which is critical for decision making now, and for the future.The text is supported by an online resource centre to complete the teaching and learning experience.
