Book Review: Atlas of Australian resources, Third Series. Volume 6: Vegetation

Summary

This is a book review of Volume 6: Vegetation in the Third Series of the Atlas of Australian Resources, published by the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (AUSLIG). The review acknowledges the volume's comprehensive content, clear illustrations, and utility as a reference for educational and home libraries. However, it criticizes the publication's delayed release, noting that much data was collected over five years prior, missing timely application in natural resource debates. The text uses a widely accepted vegetation classification, but the review points out an omission in the bibliography and suggests future editions improve source presentation. Despite these issues, the book is deemed valuable and is available for $39.95.
