This profound academic work, Nourishing Terrains: Australian Aboriginal Views Of Landscape And Wilderness, presents a compelling examination of Indigenous Australian perspectives on their ancestral lands. It argues for a deep, spiritual connection to the environment, illustrating how landscape is not merely a physical space but a living entity imbued with cultural significance and historical memory. The text details the intricate systems of knowledge and stewardship that have sustained Aboriginal communities for millennia, offering a vital counter-narrative to Western conceptions of wilderness. Rose’s scholarship uncovers the rich philosophical underpinnings of these views, providing an essential resource for understanding the complex relationship between people and place.
