Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GIANTS OF THE SEA have fascinated humans since the days of the first seafarers. Many myths and legends involving sea serpents and other monsters of the deep sprang from sightings by ancient peoples and still intrigue us today. The best known of these are the great whales, the largest living creatures on Earth. Hunted almost to extinction, whales are slowly recovering in numbers and have become star tourist attractions in many areas. In contrast to these gentle giants, the killer whale is a vicious predator renowned for its cunning in hunting its prey. These colossal sea animals are brought to life here along with varied creatures such as the giant clam, the bizarre ocean sunfish, the tentacled giant squid, and the poisonous giant jellyfish. These unique forms and their prey demonstrate the variety and complexity of life in the sea. Illuminating in both words and remarkable pictures, GIANTS OF THE SEA is just one title in the acclaimed Creatures of the Ocean series. For those who want to delve into the amazing and sometimes mysterious world of ocean life, these books are a wonderful resource filled with scientific fact and beautiful photography.

Download or read book Animals Make Us Human written by Leah Kaminsky and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2020-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundraiser for our wildlife, from land, sea and sky. Proceeds go to the Australian Marine Conservation Society and Australian Wildlife Conservancy. A response to the devastating 2019-20 bushfires, Animals Make Us Human both celebrates Australia's unique wildlife and highlights its vulnerability. Through words and images, writers, photographers and researchers reflect on their connection with animals and nature. They share moments of wonder and revelation from encounters in the natural world- seeing a wild platypus at play, an echidna dawdling across a bush track, or the inexplicable leap of a thresher shark; watching bats take flight at dusk, or birds making a home in the backyard; or following possums, gliders and owls into the dark. Hopeful, uplifting and deeply moving, this collection is also an urgent call to action, a powerful reminder that we only have one world in which to coexist and thrive with our fellow creatures. By highlighting the beauty and fragility of our unique fauna, Australia's favourite writers, renowned researchers and acclaimed photographers encourage readers to consider it in a new light.
