Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the physical environment from an Australian perspective. After explaining the disciplinary approaches of geography and environmental sciences, this book examines the physical environment in terms of the three critical focus areas of climatology, geomorphology and biogeography. Hydrological issues are considered alongside all three of these areas. It also seeks to explain the processes and major Australian, and global patterns within and between each of these components. While many of the geographical and environmental features of this continent occur worldwide, Australia, due to its age and its geographical placement, has also developed an environment all its own. Comparative examples from around the world are included to place Australia and its unique environmental characteristics within the global context. Fully illustrated and with case studies clearly linking link the theoretical content to real life issues, this book gives Australian students an understanding of the science of the continent's physical environment which is critical for decision making now, and for the future. The text is supported by an online resource center to complete the teaching and learning experience., This text introduces the study of Australia's physical environment to students. It provides a thorough understanding of the three critical aspects of the physical environment: the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the lithosphere.

International and national comparative examples are used to place Australia's unique environment within a global context.Winner of an Australian Education Publishing Award 2009Oxford University Press is proud to announce that The Australian Physical Environment was a Tertiary (Wholly Australian) Single Title joint category winner. The judges commented that the text was an "important and useful contribution to a field dominated by US textbooks, the book integrates Australian and international information well. Following a systems approach it employs a strong learning framework including case studies and around the world comparative examples."Congratulations to Howard Bridgman, Deidre Dragovich and John Dodson.
