| "What makes Sydney's natural world so
unique? The answer surely lies in the interplay of shapes, textures and
colours. Photography is a medium that can highlight these and offer the
reader a chance to identify and understand not just familiar features
but some unusual ones as well."
John Martyn | |
Until recently, STEP committee member John
Martyn has been immersed in the writing
of a new book for publication by STEP. We have now taken delivery of Sydney's Natural World and are overwhelmed by the
quality of its production and effectiveness.
| There are no other books that deal with the natural assets of the Greater Sydney region as well or as completely.
STEP
believes this publication will become the iconic benchmark by which
Sydney's bushland will be assessed in the years ahead. It will
help STEP demonstrate just why we are conservationists when
it comes to urban bushland.
If some destroyers get their way, the only place where some of these sites will remain will be in the pages of Sydney's Natural World.

Copies of Sydney's Natural World are now available through our order form. Please note a special price of $40 per copy will be available at all future STEP functions.

Sydney's Natural
World makes a wonderful gift for anyone interested in Sydney or in urban bushland or for anyone from
overseas. It is a great way of showing
people just what we have in the Sydney area apart from the Opera House and other built attractions.
| "This
book beautifully depicts these special qualities of Sydney's bushland.
It brings an artist's eye to nature, yet a scientific accuracy to
details. Its images are by someone who appreciates the bush's
ever-changing moods and who loves its forms, colours and resilience.
Whether it be the texture of eroded rock, afternoon light through the
foliage or the colours of a tiny insect, the beauty of the bush is a
constant theme."

Go to: About John Martyn | "No-one
could read this book or see its images of moments captured in time
without having a profound desire to experience Sydney's bushland for
themselves and to protect it for future generations - and that can only
be a good thing."
