What’s past

… is prologue.

My book concerning fire in the Australian environment, extinction of the megafauna, and Indigenous interaction with the environment in general (and in total opposition to the works of Flannery, Pascoe and Gammage, among others), is available online. https://www.routledge.com/The-Pure-State-of-Nature-Sacred-cows-destructive-myths-and-the-environment/Horton/p/book/9781865081076

All my individual publications in this field (and others) are available free online at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/David_Horton9

Also many of my older essays are still available here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/david-horton/28320

First Melaleuca flowers of the Summer, in the morning Sun.

Good to see new followers of nomdeplume, hope old and new followers all like the sprucing up I have been doing, including the rotating heading photographs (there seems to be no way of showing captions of these, I’m sorry, perhaps a guessing competition….) and the removal of anonymity. Anyway, I will try to keep producing interesting/amusing/thought provoking/depressing posts – if you were inclined to let your social media contacts know, it would be good to have a slightly larger audience.
