Now unfolding the fascinating story behind its mystique this 2002 book provides for the first time a comprehensive cultural and ecological history of European impact, from early voyages of discovery to developments in Reef science and management. Incisive and a delight to read in its thorough account of the scientific, social and environmental consequences of European impact on the world's greatest coral reef system, this extraordinary book is sure to become a classic. 606 $aNatural history$zAustralia$zGreat Barrier Reef (Qld.) 606 $aCoral reef conservation$zAustralia$zGreat Barrier Reef (Qld.) 607 $aGreat Barrier Reef (Qld.)$xHistory 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aCoral reef conservation 676 $a578.7789476 700 $aBowen$b James$f1928-2012,$01483908 702 $aBowen$b Margarita 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783109303321 996 $aThe Great Barrier Reef$93702253 997 $aUNINA
