The Art of Living in Australia

The Art of Living in Australia by Philip E. Muskett The Art of Living in Australia; together with three hundred Australian cookery recipes and accessory kitchen information by Mrs. H. Wicken was written after Phillip Muskett spent three years studying the eating habits in Australia. He felt that the Australian people had not taken advantage of their natural resources such as deep-sea fishing and their semitropical climate when choosing their diet. Muskett discusses the health problems in the population related to their diet. He also talks about the diet given to the children in the schools. Their semi-tropical climate hitherto unrecognised by the people of Australia - Reasons advanced for this statement; early gold-mining era influences still at work, and Anglo-Saxon heredities - Hot months and cooler months; temperatures of the Australian capital cities - Fluctuations of temperature and barometric pressure not extreme - Equability of Australian climate a marked feature - Not many successive days of great heat - Humidity of atmosphere in different colonies - A dry heat always preferable to a moist heat - Duration of the different seasons, and months apportioned to each season - Prevailing winds, and ROLE of hot winds We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
