MAN OF ALL SEASONS - PERSPECTIVE OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

A rare book indeed, Man of all Seasons gives an extraordinary insight into Aboriginal culture in the far north of Australia.  Stephen Davis describes in detail the intricate relationship between the seasonal cycle of the natural environment and the complex culture of the Aborigines of the tropical north.  Centred around a shifting emphasis on different flora and fauna as the seasons revolve, this relationship reveals the reasons for traditional hunting patterns; the age-old walkabout is finally explained.

This book offers an opportunity to rediscover the value and complexity of our environment in a way which could only come through an understanding of 40,000 years of Aboriginal tradition.  This book must be read by every Australian who hopes to understand Aboriginal culture; and by every Australian who would like to know more about the fascinating North of Australia.

This 82 page hardcover is profusely illustrated with colour photographs.  It is ex-library and as such has all the usual stamps and stickers, but is otherwise in a very good, tight, clean condition inside and out.  A wonderful read!
