First edition. Swan River Landscapes is study of an environmental resource; it is an attempt to define the character of the Swan River estuary (Perth, Western Australia). In evaluating the landscape, the author is primarily concerned with aesthetic analysis. The viewpoint is that the forms of nature are not arbitrary; they reveal the geological history and physiographic regime of the region, and the landscape is therefore approached through a discussion of the forces that shape it. endpp maps and illustrations.
