second edition).Duodecimo, spirally bound,77 pp.,colour photographs. This handy pocket guide allows the non-specialist to identify major insect and arachnid pests found in stored cereal grains, grain products and grain legumes. It describes most storage pests found worldwide rather than concentrating on Australia and provides concise information on the biology, distribution, damage and economic importance of each species. Each entry contains a colour photograph and a drawing to scale. The notes for each species tell the nature of the pest or beneficial and the commodity affected; temperature and humidity conditions at which the species can survive; optimum conditions at which eggs take the shortest time to develop into adults; and maximum population growth rate per month. An appendix shows how to collect, preserve, pack and ship specimens for identification. This edition has twice as many species in it and more detail on distribution, host range and pest status than the previous edition. Short introductory sections on insect biology, principles of control and concepts of pest status evaluation have also been added. See also [stock id 20049].

Quarto,128 pp.,colour photographs, softcover. ANZANG Nature is an organisation focused on the unique natural heritage of the bioregion of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea â" continents and islands flung from the great southern continent of Gondwana Land over fifty million years ago in which, due to long periods of isolation, remarkable flora and fauna have evolved. ANZANG Nature highlights this extraordinary legacy by encouraging photography of the region's nature and wilderness, raising public awareness of its natural heritage, and providing support for nature conservation in the region. To achieve these aims ANZANG Nature conducts an annual photographic competition to bring to light the very best photographs of animals, plants and landscapes taken in the region. The competition is open to all photographers, amateur or professional, of any age or nationality. All winning and highly commended entries form a major travelling exhibition displayed at public museums and galleries, national and international and published in art photography book form.

Octavo,155 pp.,photographs, bookplate, softcover. An overview of one of Australia's most intriguing birds. This book draws on the limited amount of published research, as well as the author's ten years of personal observations in the field. Part of the Australian Natural History Series.

Octavo, paperback,157 pp.This book addresses major challenges in implementing required reforms in Australian water policy and management, with particular focus on social sciences research and knowledge that can inform policy. The NWI (National Water Initiative) was launched in 2004, with a schedule of implementation through to 2014, and is now agreed to by the Commonwealth and all state and territory governments. It is the overarching policy framework guiding Australian water management. The NWI continues and significantly extends key policy reforms in Australia over the past two decades, and brings these together into one powerful agenda which incorporates, among other things, integrated catchment management, tradable water rights, full accounting of resources and use, regional plans, and environmental allocations. The NWI sets out an ambitious and difficult reform agenda, the magnitude of which is only now beginning to be realised. Assumptions regarding implementation are being unsettled by realisations of critical knowledge deficits.
