Wildlife of the Otways and Shipwreck Coast is a photographic field guide to the vertebrate wildlife of Victoria’s south-west. It covers all the mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs that occur in the region, including on land and in coastal waters. Each of the 288 species profiles includes a description and information on identification, range, conservation status, habitat use and ecology and is complemented by an exquisite colour photograph and a detailed distribution map. The book also includes chapters on habitat types, conservation and management, and on 14 key places in the region to view wildlife. This book will allow those interested in wildlife, including residents and visitors, to identify vertebrate animals found in the region.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2018 JOHN BURROUGHS MEDAL FOR OUTSTANDING NATURAL HISTORY WRITING “Both a love song to trees, an exploration of their biology, and a wonderfully philosophical analysis of their role they play in human history and in modern culture.” —Science Friday The author of Sounds Wild and Broken and the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Forest Unseen visits with nature’s most magnificent networkers — trees David Haskell has won acclaim for eloquent writing and deep engagement with the natural world. Now, he brings his powers of observation to the biological networks that surround all species, including humans. Haskell repeatedly visits a dozen trees, exploring connections with people, microbes, fungi, and other plants and animals. He takes us to trees in cities (from Manhattan to Jerusalem), forests (Amazonian, North American, and boreal) and areas on the front lines of environmental change (eroding coastlines, burned mountainsides, and war zones.) In each place he shows how human history, ecology, and well-being are intimately intertwined with the lives of trees. Scientific, lyrical, and contemplative, Haskell reveals the biological connections that underpin all life. In a world beset by barriers, he reminds us that life’s substance and beauty emerge from relationship and interdependence.

Book Synopsis The Allure of Fungi by : Alison Pouliot
Download or read book The Allure of Fungi written by Alison Pouliot and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although relatively little known, fungi provide the links between the terrestrial organisms and ecosystems that underpin our functioning planet. The Allure of Fungi presents fungi through multiple perspectives – those of mycologists and ecologists, foragers and forayers, naturalists and farmers, aesthetes and artists, philosophers and Traditional Owners. It explores how a history of entrenched fears and misconceptions about fungi has led to their near absence in Australian ecological consciousness and biodiversity conservation. Through a combination of text and visual essays, the author reflects on how aesthetic, sensate experience deepened by scientific knowledge offers the best chance for understanding fungi, the forest and human interactions with them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I started this project if someone had told me there was a spectacular 8 metre high waterfall in the middle of farmland that even neighbouring land owners didn’t know about I wouldn’t of believed them. The fact that this is merely the tip of the iceberg has been a revelation.In 2007 I began a quest to visit every waterfall around Melbourne, imagining it would take me a few monthsto complete. The eight year journey of discovery I have been on since then has been beyond all expectations.After visiting all the waterfalls on current maps, I started finding other drops in old books, photos and vintage maps. As my familiarity with the terrain around Melbourne increased, I began wandering down likely gullies andstarted finding waterfalls. This slowly expanded into a systematic examination of the topography of all likelywaterways around Melbourne, and to my amazement has resulted in many more waterfall discoveries. This trilogy is the result and documents all the waterfalls I could find both popular and unmapped within a 100km radius of Melbourne.Melbourne’s Waterfalls, Volume One: Western Waterfalls documents 53 of these waterfalls (plus another 31 water features of interest), and in total includes the details for 101 tiers.A mass produced version is now available of this book on website www.telp.com.au for AU$30.00

Does he surrender it to the Guild, risking accusations he killed the scientist and stole the diary--all for an invasion that may never come--or does he keep it and use it to make his name?

Book Synopsis Day Walks Melbourne by : John Chapman
Download or read book Day Walks Melbourne written by John Chapman and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes 41 walking areas around Melbourne with a total of 94 walk variations.

The February 2009 fires have burnt a number of the walks - the update page lists the fire effected walks. Walks range from 4 to 23.5km in length. Grades range from Easy to Hard and the grading is similar to that used by most walking clubs in Victoria hence there is something for everybody. The guide includes walks of all standards, while many of the Easy walks are suitable for families, some of the Hard walks require some scrambling and are intended for experienced walkers. The book is a full colour production with colour topographic maps. Map sizes range from half page to 2 pages for each walk and standard metric scales of 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 are used . The guide also includes a 2 page key map of the Melbourne area and a 6 page Walk Index designed to assist with selecting a walk. An innovation over some books are the inclusion of gradient profiles showing climbs and descents, all at identical scales enabling easy comparison between different walks.
