CSIRO, 2010. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. This book is a series of well-written, sometimes lyric essays on three famous Australian places: Hallett Cove, an outdoor laboratory and museum on the edge of a suburban development, Lake Callabona, a salt flat that revealed the bones of prehistoric monsters over the course of more than a century, and Willandra Lakes, a World Heritage site where the bones of Mungo Lady, the oldest Australian, were discovered. Given the author's experience as a heritage scholar and expert interpreter of geology and history for the public, the essays have more informative material than most lyric writing (the book has a few endnotes and a bibliography). But their function is mostly reflective: they tell readers remarkable stories about the land, the people, and millennia of history, and inspire us to think and to wonder. The book is well illustrated in black and white. It is nicely written, and will be of interest to readers interested in history, fossils, Australia, natural landscapes, or the work of other science writers and lyric essayists like Stephen Jay Gould, Sue Hubbell, Lewis Thomas, or Annie Dillard. Distributed in the US by Stylus Publishing. (2010 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR).

Pictures of Time Beneath examines three celebrated heritage landscapes: Adelaide’s Hallett Cove, Lake Callabonna in the far north of South Australia, and the World Heritage listed Willandra Lakes Region of New South Wales. It offers philosophical insights into significant issues of heritage management, our relationship with Australian landscapes, and an original perspective on our understanding of place, time, nation and science. Glaciers in Adelaide, cow-sized wombats, monster kangaroos, desert dunes littered with freshwater mussels, ancient oases and inland seas: a diverse group of deep-time imaginings is the subject of this ground-breaking book. Ideas about a deep past in Australia are central to broader issues of identity, belonging, uniqueness, legitimacy and intellectual community. This journey through Australia’s natural histories examines the way landscapes and landforms are interpreted to realise certain visions of the land, the nation and the past in the context of contemporary notions of geological heritage, cultural property, cultural identity and antiquity.
