This manual serves as a detailed guide to understanding and engaging with the content of "Black Swan Lake: Life of a Wetland." It outlines the book's structure, which is divided into two parts: a seasonal calendar of the wetlands and a discussion of broader issues and themes. The manual highlights the book's use of the six seasons of local indigenous people and its geographic focus on Forrestdale Lake in south-western Australia. It also notes the book's style as nature writing and environmental history and philosophy, and confirms the absence of illustrative content.
Tracing the life of the plants and animals of Forrest dale Lake through the six seasons of the local indigenous people, the first part of Black Swan Lake presents a wetlands calendar over a yearly cycle of the rising, falling and drying waters of this internationally important wetland in south-western Australia. The second part of this book considers issues and explores themes from the first part, including a cultural history of the seasons and the black swan. Black Swan Lake is a book of nature writing and environmental history and philosophy arising from living in a particular place with other beings. The book is a guide to living simply and sustainably with the earth in troubled times and places by making and maintaining a strong attachment and vital connection to a local place and its flora and fauna. Local places and their living processes sustain human and other life on this living earth.
