From the first tentative intrusions of explorers and timber-cutters to the sweeping ecological transformations wrought by farming, grazing, and industry, Rolls reconstructs a vivid and deeply researched portrait of a living wilderness reshaped by human hands.\n\nRolls writes with the precision of a naturalist and the lyrical authority of a poet, weaving together Indigenous history, colonial records, and intimate ecological observation into a tapestry that is as scientifically rigorous as it is emotionally resonant. A Million Wild Acres stands as one of the foundational texts of Australian environmental literature, a passionate argument for understanding the land on its own terms — and a haunting meditation on what is gained, and irretrievably lost, when civilisation meets the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948303093979,"sku":"2026200018302-SECONDHAND","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/df813b3e-3049-4720-9fd5-bbaa2df85fb8.png?v=1793104126","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018302-secondhand-a-million-wild-acres-200-years-of-man-and-an-australian-forest","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
