This Land Our Water: Water Challenges for the 21st Century - Hardcover

by Vicky Cullen (Editor)

The book opens with a biography by Peter's wife, the Reverend Vicky Cullen, offering the reader an insight into Peter's personal life and the influences that inspired his passion and drive as an academic and water guru. The eulogy, by Kate Andrews, written in March 2008, provides another perspective on Peter's life. Also included, is a list of Peter's publications and thirty-three vignettes written by friends and colleagues from various backgrounds - politics, agriculture, journalism and science. The vignettes detail the many ways in which Peter influenced their lives and work. Journalist, Asa Wahlquist, recalls "He was a great gift to journalism, and indeed to our nation. His commitment to good science and his ability to communicate that science were inspirational". This Land Our Water is a celebration of Professor Peter Cullen, a hard working and much respected advocate for the land and waterways of Australia.
