Dry Times: Blueprint for a Red Land


Add your own review!

Overview

With knowledge from our deserts, Australians can reshape the human story. Dry Times: Blueprint for a Red Land provides new insights into how our desert environments and institutions work — and how this affects the people living in them, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal alike. It shows that the desert offers solutions to the challenges of living in an uncertain and threatening future, teaching us new ways to live, manage scarce resources, and cope with lack of water and energy, climatic extremes and isolation — not only in arid regions, but also in the cities, which are increasingly short of water.
