关灯直达底部

有关英国人在澳大利亚的早期殖民史,可参阅Robert Hughes的The Fatal Shore:The Epic of Australia's Founding(New York:Knopf, 1987),时间跨度从1778年直至19世纪。而Tim Flannery的The Future Eaters:An Ecological History of the Australasian Lands and People(Chatsworth, New South Wales:Reed, 1994)则从四万年前澳大利亚原住民在此落脚写起,并论及原住民和后来的欧洲人对当地环境的影响。David Horton在The Pure State of Nature:Sacred Cows, Destructive Myths and the Environment(St.Leonards, New South Wales:Allen & Unwin, 2000)一书中采取了和Flannery完全不同的角度来论述。

下列三份来自澳大利亚官方的资料为澳大利亚的环境、经济和社会提供了详尽的信息:Australian State of the Environment Committee 2001出版的Australia:State of the Environment 2001(Canberra:Department of Environment and Heritage, 2001);有关这份报告的补充资料见网站:https://www.ea.gov.au/soe/;这份报告的前身是State of the Environment Advisory Committee 1996出版的Australia:State of the Environment 1996(Melbourne:CSIRO Publishing, 1996);还有Dennis Trewin编辑的2001 Year Book Australia(Canberra:Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2001),此为建国百年纪念版,澳大利亚年鉴自1908年就已开始出版。

Mary E.White写的两本综述澳大利亚环境问题的书,插图精美。一本是Listen ...Our Land Is Crying(East Roseville, New South Wales:Kangaroo Press, 1997);还有一本是Running Down:Water in a Changing Land(East Roseville, New South Wales:Kangaroo Press, 2000)。Tim Flannery的“Beautiful lies:population and Environment in Australia”(Quarterly Essay no.9, 2003)对环境问题进行了简要的综述。有关澳大利亚土壤盐碱化的历史以及对环境造成的冲击,可参看Quentin Beresford、Hugo Bekle、Harry Phillips和Jane Mulcock合著的The Salinity Crisis:Landscapes, Communities and Politics(Crawley, Western Australia:University of Western Australia Press, 2001)。Andrew Campbell在Landcare:Communities Shaping the Land and the Future(St.Leonards, New South Wales:Allen & Unwin, 1994)一书中对于改善澳大利亚乡村土地经营起重要作用的草根运动作了描述。
