Notes

1. Please reach out to Dr Laura Menatti (Book Review Editor) if you are interested in proposing a book (monograph or edited collection) that could be the focus of a Book Review Forum. Although Landscape Research is published in English, we take calls for inclusion and diversity seriously. We are therefore keen to include and promote non-English language texts, as well as those produced by publishers beyond academia. The Book Review Editor is happy to receive suggestions about potential texts, particularly from those interested in leading the curation of a Book Review Forum.

3. Jukurrpa refers to the belief system of Aṉangu, encompassing law, spirituality, and relationships with the traditional lands that they have custodial responsibility for, that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples refer to as Country.

4. The text’s illustrations, which are reproduced best, and in colour, in the eBook edition, are often key to my argument, but curiously are not discussed by the reviewers. On the importance of the figurative expression of a text’s figures, see Olwig and Olwig (2021).
