Reviews

"I have long been a fan of the Australian Natural History Series, which I regard as one of the most important publishing initiatives in the field of Australian biology. This series is a path leading us to more knowledge of this wondrous land - and this book is an excellent step further along it."--Ian Fraser, ABC Radio
