"The Great Barrier Reef: History, Science, Heritage" by James Bowen, Margarita Bowen (Repost)

This book provides for the first time a comprehensive cultural and ecological history of European impact, from early voyages of discovery to the most recent developments in Reef science and management.

One of the world's natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef stretches more than 2000 kilometres in a maze of coral reefs along Australia's north-eastern coastline. Until now, no biographer has brought the fascinating story behind its mystique into public view.
