This title presents a unique view on one of the most pressing issues of our age - environmental sustainability. Thousands of years ago, the Aboriginal peoples of Australia had taught themselves how to build a sustainable society in an extremely fragile landscape. Our ever more industrialised societies are in danger of collapse because they are consuming far more than they can provide. "Treading Lightly" is a unique volume that looks at how traditional Aboriginal art, stories and culture - which has been passed on through generations by word of mouth alone - can convey a greater understanding of our environment as a whole. This stunning volume offers a powerful and original model of society for the future and makes compelling reading.
