A rich cultural history of the Australian, hardwood plant.

Eucalypts, iconic to Australia, have shaped art, science and landscapes worldwide. With around nine hundred species, from towering giants to compact mallees, these trees inspire awe and curiosity. Their hardwood has driven industries, sparked protests, and even toppled governments. Their aromatic leaves hold healing properties yet fuel devastating wildfires.

This book blends Aboriginal knowledge and Western science to uncover the rich natural history, biology, and conservation of eucalypts. It explores their evolution, cultural significance, and surprising roles in modern life, offering insights into sustainable ways to coexist with these remarkable trees. Featuring stunning photographs from fifty years of fieldwork, this is the first comprehensive review of Aboriginal eucalypt wisdom, paired with cutting-edge scientific discoveries.
