From the back of the book:
Aboriginal Art is a vast and complex subject filled with many mutually contradicting opinions. It needs to be said that this small book cannot and does not take any of these into account. Indeed it is specifically a 'Beginner's Guide' with no pretensions to anything more.
So, if you are a visitor to Australia, seat yourself beneath your hotel's ai-conditions or by the pool and read. Then amble down to your local art gallery and amaze yourself at the ease with which, unaided, you can now read the stories in the paintings.
If you are an educator teaching Aboriginal Studies, ti is proposed that you go through this book with your class and then encourage them to paint or draw their own Dreamtime stories.
