Book Description

John White was Surgeon General on Captain Arthur Phillip's ship, leading the First Fleet in 1788. White's journal describes and illustrates the many new plants he discovered in New South Wales, and provides valuable ethnographic information, making this one of the first descriptions of the environment and indigenous people at the time of Britain's colonization of Australia. The volume is richly illustrated with sixty-five plates of plants, birds, and animals and will be useful to researchers interested in biodiversity as well as scientific travel.
