Description:
In the beginning, there
was the river — before the beach, before the drain, before the dredging, before
the dams, before numerous other actions that altered the stream.
River Dreams reveals the complex
history of the Cooks River in south-eastern Sydney — a river renowned as Australia's most altered and polluted. While
nineteenth century developers called it 'improvement', the sugar mill, tanneries, and factories that lined the banks of Sydney's Cooks River had drastic consequences
for the health of the river. Local Aboriginal
people became fringe dwellers, and over time the river became severely
compromised, with many ecosystems damaged or destroyed. Later, a large section was turned into a concrete canal, and
in the late 1940s the river was rerouted for the
expansion of Sydney Airport.
While much of the river has
been rehabilitated in recent decades by passionate local groups and through government
initiatives, it continues to be a source of controversy with rapid apartment development placing new stresses
on the region. River
Dreams is a timely reminder of
the need to tread cautiously in seeking to dominate, or ignore, our
environment.
A beautiful book that reminds us that Australians are river people as much as we are bush or coast dwellers.' — Ian Hoskins
Like all the best local history, Ian Tyrrell's wonderful book on Sydney's Cooks river appeals to an audience far beyond those who are locals...Tyrrell skilfully uses its history to weave a much bigger story about the changing demands of white settlement on the landscape.' — Mike Ticher,

Great shoe, horrible lace design.
Size: 13, Color: White, Size: 13, Color: White
This shoes look great and the materials for the actual shoe feel great. They run a little big that doesn't bother me. Unfortunately, the lace design is horrible. I've now have 2 pairs of these shoes and both times the bottom lace has ripped out of the stitching. The first time was on the 2nd day I wore them, and the replacement pair to those it happened after I walked 20 feet. Both times I've tied a knot in the bottom lace so that I could get through the day. Ideally these laces should be connected together and not attached to the shoe (this is how both of my Skechers Slip-ins are designed). Because I like the rest of the shoe so much I'm buying elastic laces to replace the horrible original laces.

Good value for the money.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Beige
Comfortable right out of the box. Great style and well made. The more you wear the softer they get but maintain their overall appearance.

Comfortable fit for slip-in fabric shoes
Size: 14, Color: Black/Black
My first experience with Marc Joseph. I typically purchase dress and casual work shoes from Florsheim and occasionally Rockport. I'm giving these four stars because the initial fit and feel appear solid. Depending on the shoe brand I wear a size 14 or 15. My feet are slightly wide but I don't alway need wide fit. These size 14 fit well with wide enough toe box. I've tried slip in shoes before and they just don't feel right. These somehow work and there is no heel slip. My only reservation is the high lip on the heel for slip-in and hope they dont catch pant hems. I gave 4 stars because I'll have to determine durability. Granted they are a light fabric shoe with a soft rubber tread. I'd like them to last for at least 6 months..and use them for business casual work wear during warm weather.
