Summary:

How do we see and relate to the agricultural heartlands of Australia? Might alternative ways of imagining and engaging with rural places enable ecological and social regeneration? In Heartland, George Main takes us on a journey through the country of his childhood to explore the cultural and historical dynamics responsible for ecological change and disorder across the southwest slopes of New South Wales.
