Valerie Parv presents a sweeping account of how colonisation, agriculture, urbanisation, and resource exploitation have reshaped ecosystems, altered waterways, and driven profound shifts in biodiversity across the continent. Written with an accessible yet authoritative tone, the narrative illustrates the cascading consequences of land clearing, introduced species, and industrial growth on one of the world's most unique natural environments. Parv also details the growing awareness and conservation efforts that have emerged in response to ecological degradation, offering a balanced perspective on both the damage done and the possibilities for restoration. This is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the deep environmental legacy of Australia's modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887830708443,"sku":"2026100006838-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/65f727b3-2777-4335-99b7-0f6086659363.png?v=1781746632","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006838-secondhand-the-changing-face-of-australia-the-impact-of-200-years-of-change-on-our-environment","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
