Gija goowoolem doo minybernem Gija trees and grasses is both a work of art and an extraordinary ethnobotanical achievement. At its heart are 72 stunning paintings by award-winning artist Birrmarriya Shirley Purdie which feature the significant flora found in Gija Country in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. The paintings are accompanied by Birrmarriya's descriptions of each plant's traditional properties and uses for food, medicine and object making as well as their place in Gija culture and history.

The result is a rich botanical encyclopaedia informed by Ngarranggarni 'the Dreamtime' or 'creation time' which both preserves and shares traditional knowledge, now and into the future. Birrmarriya and co-author, linguist, artist and gardener Frances Kofod, share a love for Gija Country and its flora. They collaborated over many years to create this richly layered book which includes stories in both Gija and English, new maps of Gija Country and useful appendices containing plant descriptions, species names and photographs. Birrmarriya Shirley Purdie won the Blake Prize in 2007. The paintings in this book are part of the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.

 

Birrmarriya Shirley Purdie is a Gija woman of Nangari skin who was born in 1947 at Gilban (Mabel Downs Station) in the East Kimblerley region of Western Australia. As a respected community elder and as part of her cultural responsibilities, Birrmarriya passes on her encyclopaedic knowledge of Gija language, cultural practices, the intrinsic ecological relationships of country, ethnobotanics, and flora and fauna identification with family, schools, seed collectors, scientists, environmentalists, miners, pastoralists and ranger groups. Birrmarriya has been painting since the early 1990s. She was awarded the Blake Prize for Religious Art in 2007 and her work is held in major national collections including at the Museum of Contemporary Art and the National Portrait Gallery.

Frances Kofod was born in Sydney in 1948 and grew up there and in Armidale in northern New South Wales. In 1978, she completed her Master of Arts thesis on the Miriwoong language. Frances first met Birrmarrya Shirley Purdie in 1987 when working as a linguist in the Gija language program at Ngalangangpum School at Warrmarn. Frances's first recordings of Birrmarriya relating the stories of her paintings date from this time. From the late 1980s to the present, Frances continues to work on many language projects involving Miriwoong, Gija and Gajirrabeng languages, and was the main compiler of the Gija Dictionary (ASP, 2022).

Huge Upgrade!!!
After just a week of using this mouse, I can confidently say this is the best peripheral purchase I have ever made. I initially wasn't in the market for a new mouse, until my scroll wheel broke on my razer mouse. I decided to just pull the trigger on the X2 Superstrike instead of purchasing another razer mouse. The mouse material feel is excellent, and the wheel is great as well. I've also seen some reviews disliking the skates on the X2 Superstrike, however I personally found them to be great. The haptic feedback mouse click seemed a bit gimmicky before I actually used it. Right off the bat, the mouse click feels incredibly responsive and similar to that of any high quality mouse. You get enough feedback and it doesn't feel that much different from a regular mouse click. But, you also have optionality to adjust a ton of settings, like accuation, feedback strength, etc. For gaming, with the right settings, this genuinely feels amazing, and that's before the performance upgrade. As many other reviewers have noted, it noticeably decreases latency on top of all of this. Another huge perk with this mouse I found, was that it's almost dead silent as well. No more loud clicking! My only critique with the mouse are the side buttons and the size. The side buttons are the only part of the mouse that feel "cheap". Because I use the side buttons often in competitive games, I notice it a lot more than probably most people would. I also have large hands, and this is the smallest mouse I have used. I got used to it pretty quick, but the mouse is on the smaller side. Nonetheless, if you are looking to upgrade your mouse and have the money, I would 100% recommend. This feels as impactful as going from a 60hz monitor to a 144hz+.

Works so well I got a second one!
Size: One Size
I rarely write reviews but I came here specifically because this mouse is great! As someone who is technologically challenged I appreciate everything about it-- I bought one of these 5 years ago and use it heavily everyday, it still works like a dream which is why I bought a second one to use on a separate computer. Started using this new one and it was just as easy to set up as the first one, just plugged in the USB piece and was able to use it immediately, no further setup required. As a bonus, it already came with batteries like the last one did (by the way I never turn off my 5 year old mouse and the same batteries are still in it working great). Smooth operation, ergonomic, easy to use, and portable!

This is a GREAT Mouse!!!
Size: One Size
This is a great mouse !!! I purchased it almost 6 months ago and it is still working smoothly. I found that Logitech has great products that last. I like all 5 of the functions and use them all on a regular basis. This is perfect for right handed people as it has great gripping as well as fits nicely in my hand

Have to use the USB Receiver on the Front of Your PC
Size: One Size
This is a great mouse as long as you plug the little USB receiver into the front of your pc and not the back. Plugged into a front port, and the thing just flew, smooth as silk. I moved the receiver to a port on the back, and it got choppy, would freeze, and was really slow.
