Cambridge University Press, Date: 2005. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Near Fine. AUSTRALIAN FLORAIdentifies the role that plant exploration has played in Australia's history and explores recent fashions in garden design.George Seddon believes that the better we understand the delicacy and beauty of our natural environment, the more 'at home' we will feel as Australians. He explores garden design, and wonders whether the present trend to Mediterranean plants creates more problems than it solves. He looks at what 'native' or 'exotic' or even 'a weed' might mean and concludes that these notions are surprisingly fluid. This passionate, wise and witty book, enriched with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations, suggests that the answers to our water problems lie here, at home.Signed by Author.
