I am finding the 'Short Blacks' books tend to be either a short and sweet glimpse leaving you wanting more, or an impenetrable rant as the author tries to fit an entire philosophy into 40-50 pages.
This one crams a lot into its 52 pages, including but not limited to nomadism, hunter gather lifestyles, past civilisations, agriculture, Aboriginal culture and the Dreaming, deforestation, Nepal...
They are really weighty themes. It's a lot to take in.
While I won't personally be taking up a hunter gatherer lifestyle as seen in the year 10,000BC (and arguably - can any of us, now?), I found the discussions of Aboriginal culture to be very insightful.
