This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1846. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... 115 chapter viii. Sources Of Labour. Effects of Climate on European Labourers--The Aborigines--Imported Labour in Tropical Settlements--Collisions of Races--Europeans and the Australian Aborigines--Tropical Labour--Timor Laut.--The Ki Islanders--Over-population at Kissa--The Natives of Botti--Native Christians--Timorians--People of Celebes--Labour at Singapore--Malays, Chinese, and Natives of India--Cost of Labour--Advantages of employing Labourers of different Nations--Comparative Qualities of Indian, Chinese, and Malayan Labourers. Although the climate of the Cobourg Peninsula, and of the tropical coasts of Australia generally, may be considered as not unfavourable to the constitutions of Europeans, still the temperature is so high that it cannot be recommended as a field for the employment of European labour. Occasional active exercise is not found to be injurious, but the flow of perspiration induced by continuous labour must, sooner or later, produce an effect upon the constitution. A very considerable amount of work has certainly been performed by the garrison of Port Essington and by the crews of the different men-of-war that have been from time to time stationed there; but it was found to be necessary that the men should rest during three or four hours of the day, when the rays of the sun were most powerful, and even with this precaution the effects of a relaxing climate soon became evident in the appearance of the men. If agricultural operations are ever carried on here upon an extensive scale it must tie by means of labourers to whom the climate is natural. The natives of the country are few in number, and although they would prove useful as fishers, herdsmen, and even as seamen on board coasting vess...

Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change
This book provides a strategic assessment of the vulnerability of Australia’s biodiversity (primarily terrestrial) to climate change and suggests ways that policy and management can deal with the threats to biodiversity associated with climate change.It begins with a long-time perspective on the evolution of Australia’s biota—why Australia is so species-rich, why its biodiversity is unique, and why the conservation of this biodiversity is so important. It goes on to describe the two centuries of acute change since European settlement—the ultimate drivers of current changes in Australia’s biodiversity and the observed changes in diversity at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels. The discussion of climate change itself is organized around the global and the Australian scales, describing the climate changes that have already been observed over the last one to two centuries and outlining the range of projections for Australia for the rest of this century. The ways in which climate change is already affecting Australia’s biota and will potentially affect it in future are described in considerable detail. The book then focuses strongly on how to reduce the vulnerability of Australia’s biodiversity to climate change, beginning with a description of current management principles, and an analysis of the current set of conservation strategies and tools and the current policy and institutional landscape for biodiversity conservation. Building on a set of fundamental ecological principles, the focus then shifts to ways in which adaptive capacity can be enhanced—modified and new management approaches, innovative governance systems and a much larger resource base. Finally, a set of five key messages and policy directions pulls together the major conclusions arising from the assessment.

Algae of Australia: Phytoplankton of Temperate Coastal Waters (Algae of Australia Series)
Algae of Australia: Phytoplankton of Temperate Coastal Waters (Algae of Australia Series)
Phytoplankton account for more than 90% of the biomass of living organisms in the world’s seas and produce 50% of the atmospheric oxygen we breathe. They form the base of all marine food webs and play a critical role in shaping global climate. There is an increasing appreciation of their value as key biological indicators of ocean health and the impact of climate change on marine life, fisheries and humans. Algae of Australia: Phytoplankton of Temperate Coastal Waters, the product of three decades of research by Professor Gustaaf Hallegraeff and 11 collaborators, provides descriptions and illustrations of 541 species known from the estuarine, coastal and offshore waters of southern Australia. It includes more than 1,100 photographs and drawings, and represents the first guide for the identification of these fundamentally important microscopic algae in the temperate Australasian region. The book, incorporating comprehensive bibliographies and a glossary of technical terms, will become an indispensable resource for oceanographers, fisheries biologists, aquaculture managers, as well as enquiring non-specialists.Key Features* These organisms form the base of all marine food webs and they are a key indicator of changing ocean temperatures * Full descriptions provided for 541 species * Habitat and distributional information included along with more than 1,100 photographs to aid identification

Flora Australia, Vol. 44B: Poaceae 3. Centothecoideae - Chloridoideae (Flora of Australia Series)
Flora Australia, Vol. 44B: Poaceae 3. Centothecoideae - Chloridoideae (Flora of Australia Series)
This latest volume in the acclaimed Flora of Australia series covers the subfamilies Arundinoideae, Danthonioideae, Aristidoideae, Micrairoideae and Chloridoideae. It describes a mixture of tropical and temperate grasses and includes a number of economically and environmentally important groups, such as:* Triodia – iconic spinifex grasses of Australia’s arid areas that are an important major habitat for a variety of species * Wallaby grasses – attractive grasses with distinctive purple and green heads that are a major structural component of endangered south-eastern grasslands * Aristida (kerosene grasses and three-awns) – a large tribe of grasses whose characteristic three long bristles are problematic for the agricultural industry as they can contaminate fleece * Mitchell grasses – of great economic importance for the pastoral industry in Queensland * Couch grass – one of the lawn grasses we take for granted * Parramatta grasses – well-known weeds on the eastern seaboard * Arundo and Phragmites – the reeds along our waterwaysThe volume includes native and naturalized species, treating five subfamilies, 55 genera and over 450 species. Many of the species treated are endemic to Australia. It features over 90 pages of illustrations as well as the traditional tightly written authoritative descriptions, identification keys, bibliographic information, and notes on ecology and distribution. An essential reference for plant taxonomists, ecologists and grassland researchers.
