D/j with minor crimping, one half-inch closed tear, and a couple of marks to rear portion.** As much a travelogue as a scientific work, this highly readable title helped bring the topic of conservation to the consciousness of the Commonwealth.**Indian-born zoologist, entomologist, and early conservationist Francis Ratcliffe, OBE (1904-1970) was best known for his work on the giant fruit-eating bat, or "flying foxes." He conducted this scientific survey on behalf of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, beginning in 1929. The first part of this book deals with his observations on their behaviors in the various environs of eastern Australia, and their detrimental effects on commercial farming. The second part of the book discusses the effects of erosion on the environment and quality of life of the people living in "the Stony Desert" of Queensland. The Introduction is written by Professor of Zoology at Oxford University, Dr. Julian Huxley, under whom the Author studied in the 1920's. (ADB) Rare with the dust jacket. OCLC 423982.
