CD record

The Tasmanian Handbook was published specifically for the use of members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science who were visiting Tasmania. It therefore contains an extensive amount of general and scientific information on Tasmania.

Included in the book are sections on the geographical, educational, scientific, and commercial aspects of Tasmania, covering chapters on the flora and fauna, mining, aboriginals, museums, agriculture, irrigation, health, infrastructure and government. There are several photos and illustrations scatted throughout the book.

This book is useful to those interested in early Tasmanian history and environment.
