Several years ago, Jane Rawson packed up her beloved inner-city home and moved to the bush. Scared about what climate change would do to the big city, and keen to meet more animals, she found a new home in a cottage in the Huon Valley. But in a place where nature never really leaves you alone, she had to confront her uncomfortable relationship with the outdoors.
Lottie Dalziel’s (founder of Banish and BRAD) book seeks to answer the questions that we all have – how to live well but with less impact on the planet, while saving money at the same time …
Dr Sara Webb shares her enthusiasm for the question: What, in the end, will signal the end of the world? It’s the question we all ponder, but what could actually happen?
Peter Godfrey-Smith delivers the eagerly anticipated conclusion to his three-part exploration of the origins of intelligence on Earth, which began with the bestselling Other Minds in 2018 and continued with Metazoa in 2020.
The scuba-diving philosopher examined the evolution of sentience in Other Minds and, in Metazoa, asked how that consciousness shaped and was shaped by animal bodies. Now, in Living on Earth, he takes that line of questioning a step further, asking, how has life shaped and been shaped by our planet?
In this fascinating, candid and urgent book, Paul Hardisty dives into the history of the Great Barrier Reef and cuts through the rhetoric to chart the circumstances and acceleration of its decline, as well as the determined efforts to save it.
Vanessa Pirotta, acclaimed wildlife scientist, has been mugged by whales, touched by a baby whale and covered in whale snot. In Humpback Highway, Pirotta dives beneath the surface to reveal the mysterious world of humpback whales — from their life cycle and the challenges humans present, to why whale snot and poo are important for us and the ocean. Plus the cutting-edge new technologies that allow us to see where they swim, listen to them talk and spy on them underwater.
James Bradley's Deep Water is a hymn to the beauty, mystery and wonder of the ocean. Weaving together science, history and personal experience, it offers vital new ways of understanding humanity's relationship with our planet, looking to our past and our future.
Dr Karl, aka Karl Kruszelnicki, aka Karl Sven Woytek Sas Konkovitch Matthew Kruszelnicki, went from being a shy Polish immigrant kid via Sweden to Australia, to become universally know as Dr Karl the sleek geek science dude for everyone. This is how it happened.
