By Corey Tutt

In this follow-up to the groundbreaking children's book The First Scientists, bestselling author Corey Tutt is back to share more incredible stories of how Australia's First Peoples practised science long before it carried that name. This book covers a new range of case studies and topics, all in consultation with communities and Elders, including food and water carriers, huts, clothing and desalination, as well as modern-day innovations related to carbon dating, protecting animals and reefs, and slowing island beach erosion with coconuts
