Greening A Brown Land The Australian Search For Sustainable Land Use by Neil F. Barr and John W. Cary

History of Australian rural land use from the time of the early European settlers, with emphasis on the struggle to green a brown land. The authors discuss the problems of soil salinity, erosion, acidification, compaction, agricultural chemicals, the proliferation of introduced pests, and the destruction of grasslands, forests, rangelands and wetlands. They critically examine proposed solutions, and include research on the response of modern Australian farmers to these ideas. Indexed and referenced.
