Flannery, one of Australia's most celebrated scientists and naturalists, presents a sweeping chronicle of the Australian continent, weaving together geology, natural history, Indigenous culture, and ecology to paint a vivid picture of a land unlike any other on the planet. Drawing on his vast expertise in palaeontology and environmental science, he details the forces that sculpted Australia's extraordinary landscapes and the remarkable creatures that evolved within them, situating the story of the land within the broader arc of human habitation and survival.\n\nFlannery's prose is both lyrical and rigorously scientific, moving effortlessly between deep geological time and the urgent environmental challenges of the present day. Country argues that understanding Australia's ancient past is not merely an academic exercise but a vital key to its future — a future shaped by the choices Australians make about the land they inhabit. Rich with reverence for Indigenous knowledge and ecological wisdom, this work stands as a landmark in Australian nature writing, leaving the reader with the unsettling and profound question: can a modern nation truly learn to belong to its land before it is too late?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51022672920795,"sku":"2026100012378-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0ed6c07a-23f4-4a68-b9de-08f4dbc54e46.png?v=1793665469","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012378-secondhand-country-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
