About This Item
Sydney: NewSouth / University of New South Wales Press, 2015. Paperback thick octavo, very good condition, top corner tip covers little creased, minor edgewear. 442 pp. The story of Australia's most controversial forestry giant company, Gunns Ltd, the corruption that gave it power, the environmental activists who fought it, and the forces that brought it down. It was the largest private employer and landowner in Tasmania. Most of its profits came from woodchipping of clear-felled old-growth forests. A planned pulp mill lead to extensive environmental activism. Quentin Beresford has written a fearless and forensic book which not only exposes the collapse of the company but everything it stood for in its quest to industrialise nature.
