Octavo, paperback,3680pp.,colour photographs and illustrations. WAS $50. Known for being Australia's most mysterious and enigmatic bird, the Night parrot has been luring its seekers into Australia's vast, arid outback for over a century. Less than 30 specimens were collected before it all but disappeared, and for a hundred years…, only fleeting glimpses and the occasional mummified body acted as proof of its continued existence. Protected by spinifex and darkness, the parrot attained almost mythical status: the challenge of a lifetime to birdwatchers and an inspiration to poets, novelists and artists. This new book, the latest by eminent ornithologist and author Penny Olsen, documents the competitiveness and controversy, the triumphs and adventures of the history of the Night parrot and its followers, culminating in the recent discovery of live birds at a few widely scattered and highly confidential locations. It explores what we are now unravelling about the mysteries of its biology and ecology and what is still left to learn. Complemented by guest essays, illustrations and photographs from a wide variety of sources, this book sheds light on Australia's most elusive bird.

Octavo,268 pp.,colour photographs, softcover. An interdisciplinary exploration of fungi, showcasing stunning photographs. Presents fungi through multiple perspectives â" 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.

Quarto, paperback,264 pp.,photographs and text illustrations, softcover. Was $80. Australia is the custodian of a diverse range of continental and oceanic islands. From Heard and Macquarie in the sub-Antarctic, to temperate Lord Howe and Norfolk, to the tropical Cocos (Keeling) and the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, Australi…aâs islands contain some of the nationâs most iconic fauna, flora and ecosystems. They are a refuge for over 35% of Australiaâs threatened species and for many others declining on mainland Australia. They also have significant cultural value, especially for Indigenous communities, and economic value as centres for tourism. Australian Island Arks presents a compelling case for restoring and managing islands to conserve our natural heritage. With contributions from island practitioners, researchers and policy makers, it reviews current island management practices and discusses the need and options for future conservation work. Chapters focus on the management of invasive species, threatened species recovery, conservation planning, Indigenous cultural values and partnerships, tourism enterprises, visitor management, and policy and legislature. Case studies show how island restoration and conservation approaches are working in Australia and what the emerging themes are for the future. Australian Island Arks will help island communities, managers, visitors and decision-makers to understand the current status of Australiaâs islands, their management challenges, and the opportunities that exist to make best use of these iconic landscapes.

Quarto, laminated boards,232 pp.,colour photographs, maps. WAS $160. Amphibians are among the most threatened groups of animals on earth. In part due to their highly permeable skin, amphibians are highly sensitive to environmental changes and pollution and provide an early-warning system of deteriorating environmental conditions…. The more we learn about the impact of environmental changes on amphibians, the better we as humans will be able to arrest their demise, and our own. This book brings together the current knowledge on the status of the unique frogs of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific. Although geographically proximate, each region presents unique challenges and opportunities in amphibian research and conservation. This book contributes to an understanding of the current conservation status of the amphibians of each region, aims to stimulate research into halting amphibian declines, and provides a better foundation for making conservation decisions.

Octavo, paperback,225 pp.,colour photographs. Everywhere we go there are birds, and they all have mysteries to be unravelled.

Octavo, paperback,176 pp.,colour photographs and illustrations. Rocky outcrops are landscape features with disproportionately high biodiversity values relative to their size. They support specialised plants and animals, and a wide variety of endemic species. To Indigenous Australians, they are sacred places and provide valuable…resources. Despite their ecological and cultural importance, many rocky outcrops and associated biota are threatened by agricultural and recreational activities, forestry and mining operations, invasive weeds, altered fire regimes and climate change. Rocky Outcrops in Australia: Ecology, Conservation and Management contains chapters on why this habitat is important, the animals that live and depend on these formations, key threatening processes and how rocky outcrops can be managed to improve biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes, state forests and protected areas.
