Australian Aboriginal paintings on the subject of health. "The paintings reflect the vibrant colours of the desert landscape, and define the complexities of contemporary health issues. They do so within the context of tjukurpa: the artists' religious interpretations of the profound bonding of people to one another, to their country, and to the species of animals and plants inhabiting it." Illustrated with color paintings with text in English and transliterated aboriginal language.
