A Geography of New South Wales

A Geography of New South Wales examines the different regions and environments of this Australian state, and how these regions have changed over time. Throughout the book, social and environmental issues are examined as they relate to aspects of geography, including the 1994 bushfires and the hosting of the Olympic Games in Sydney in the year 2000. This textbook will create a picture of New South Wales which is a starting point for further study. This is not a regional study in the traditional manner, but rather examines key areas of recent geographic analysis - human and environmental systems. It examines systems and issues within a state framework to deliberately increase student awareness of New South Wales. Similar titles on the states Victoria, South Australia and Queensland allow comparison.
