This book explores the issue of salinization in the context of contemporary conflicts about irrigation, water, and the environment in Australia, considering the Murray-Darling Basin in particular. It provides an environmental and social history charting the transformation of rural communities in the basin through the salinization of soils and water. Focusing on the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation district in the southwest of the Murray-Darling basin - the largest irrigation district in Australia - it explores the history of state-directed, large-scale engineering in the district, where the environment has been altered dramatically to facilitate white agricultural settlement inland. Changes to the landscape led to extensive salinization, however - a significant environmental threat in Australia. This book traces the impact of these changes on rural communities, taking a 'bottom-up' approach, highlighting the connections between environmental, social, and political change. It provides an important reflection on the importance of environmental history for facing the challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. Daniel Rothenburg is Scientific Coordinator and Research Associate at the Collaborative Research Center 923 "Threatened Order", University of Tübingen, Germany.

Collected in this sizeable boxed set is a prime selection of artworks from Africa and Oceania that are juxtaposed against masterpieces of Modern Art in order to not only examine their specific qualities alone, but also acknowledge the significant contribution that non-European works have made to the world history of art. This richly illustrated publication was released to accompany an exhibition with the same name at the Fondation Beyeler and consists of seventeen large-sized, folded sheets along with an accompanying explanatory brochure. Contributions from a number of renowned scholars from art history and anthropology explore specific contrasts and associations between the two traditions, along with the theoretical implications.
