Abandoned Australia

By Shane Thoms

Barren red deserts doted with post-colonial ghost towns, dilapidated inner city factories, discarded country homesteads and a succession of dormant, soot-filled power sta�ons are just a handful of the desolate, yet visually rich narra�ves that form part of the abandoned Australia landscape. Digging beneath the sun-baked soil, Shane Thoms uncovers the modern ruins scatered over this arid con�nent and reveals a series of beau�fully broken abodes hiding in the crevices of the Great Southern Land. Whispering of both long-gone happy family moments and human darkness, of working lives and the everyday pursuits of living, these atmospheric scenes allow us to reconstruct the stories of the past. Promp�ng conversa�ons about a growing, diverse country with a complicated history, these abandoned places both connect as well as contrast the past and the present and chronicle the hidden remnants of the evolving Australian story.

Mr Todd's Marvel (PB)

How one man telegraphed Australia to the modern world

By Adam Courtenay

In 1855 talented astronomer and scien�st Charles Todd had a dream to build a telegraph line across Australia to connect it to the world. This dream was a bold one and he would have to wait for technological advances to catch up with his ideas. By 1870, however, Singapore and Indonesia were joined to the world's growing telegraph network and it was Australia's turn. Todd and his men would have to erect thousands of telegraph poles across the en�re expanse of the country, from Adelaide to the northern coast - one pole every 80 metres - across land that was relentlessly inhospitable and largely unknown to them. They overcame every obstacle and, as well as reducing the transmission of informa�on to the country from months to hours, revealed the splendour of the con�nent's interior to its rapidly growing popula�on. This is their story, now in paperback.

Are Ya Right, Mate? A walk around Australia

A true story of courage, joy and connec�on

By Terra Roam

“Go for a walk,” suggested the psychologist. Four and half years later, Terra became the first female to walk solo and unsupported around Australia, all in aid of suicide preven�on. Not only did the 17,200kilometre walk set a distance record, but Terra became a roadside counsellor, helping thousands of people on their own paths to mental health recovery. As Terra faces down wild dogs, staggers through dust storms, and batles exhaus�on, the story also delves into lifelong experiences of depression, PTSD, anxiety, au�sm and iden�ty. This is a real-life recoun�ng of surviving and thriving, no mater the odds. The book can be used as a guide for healing, hiking and connec�ng with Australia’s wild, wonderful, majes�c natural places, but above all to living life to the full.

Adventures in Climate Science

Scien�sts' tales from the fron�ers of climate change Foreword by

Karl Kruszelnicki

By Wendy Bruere, Karl Kruszelnicki

The experts tell us the world is warming, but why do we care so much about a few lousy degrees? These tales of adventure from remote and remarkable parts of the Earth explore a mul�tude of ways the world is changing and explain the science behind exactly what those few degrees mean. Scien�sts share their own stories about falling into crevasses, facing sharks, surviving cyclones, chasing pirates on the high seas, and more. Along the way, they examine cri�cal elements of climate change, including sea ice and glacier melt, rising sea levels, bushfires, collapsing ecosystems, shi�ing ocean currents, and extreme weather events. With knowledge comes power, and this book makes sense of how and why a warming planet maters.

An Australian Birding Year

By R. Bruce Richardson

A highly personal account of a phenomenal, once-in -a-life�me adventure that saw Bruce and his wife, Lynn, embark on a year of travel and birding across the en�re con�nent in a camper van. Their aim was to see Australia, but also to keep a list of the birds that they saw together. That list began with two Gang-gang Cockatoos flying over their son’s yard in Torquay, Victoria and ended a year later watching a lovely litle Speckled Warbler on a chilly morning back in Victoria with 638 other species seen in between.

Australian Birds, their Nests and Eggs (Facsimile Edi�on)

A guide to the nests and eggs of Australian birds that are known to breed in Australia and on Australian offshore islands

By Gordon Beruldsen

First published in 1980, this 2004 edi�on is a thorough reference guide to nest and egg iden�fica�on, with all new colour plates and much addi�onal material. Shape, size, colour, number of eggs in a clutch - all help iden�fy the bird to which the eggs belong. This book carries a strong message to respect the environment that is being explored and to leave the eggs and nests undisturbed. It is therefore a way for birdwatchers and ornithologists to gain a greater insight into Australian birds without actually having to get close to nests. This volume is a facsimile re-issue of the 2004 edi�on.

Come with Australian Geographic on a voyage like no other through our planet’s great habitats to experience what shapes the creatures living there. This remarkable book will take you thousands of metres down into the lightless world of a Pacific Ocean abyss where the pressure is so immense it would flaten aeroplanes . . . but not the Mariana snailfish! Then you’ll be transported thousands of metres back up to where the special blood of bar-headed geese helps them cope with the lack of oxygen in the air over Mount Everest. Discover how raucous howler monkeys survive 50m or more up tropical trees in the Amazon rainforest, and how addaxes and fennec foxes fend for themselves in the relentlessly searing heat of the Sahara Desert. Dive with us to the colourful sponge gardens and coral wonderlands of the Great Barrier Reef and dare to tread with us underground through a world of giant insects, blind fishes and other troglodytes in the caves of Southeast Asia.
