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 701 $aBowen$b Margarita$0675337 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812318003321 996 $aThe Great Barrier Reef$94203913 997 $aUNINA
