Series: Deadly Science

Australia's native plants have learned to survive in our harshest environments, from the driest corners of the outback to the humid forests of northern Queensland. Over time, they have adapted and adjusted to every imaginable threat.

In this book you will discover seeds that need fire to crack open, encounter carnivorous plants that eat insects, and others that can be used to make a drink for sore throats. Inside of this book, you will find the tools, both modern and Indigenous, to understand and navigate the difficulties ahead as we learn to live with Earth’s internal and powerful forces.

Rest assured, you will never see nature the same way after reading this book.

Embark on a scientific journey with the DeadlyScience books, an engaging series created with Corey Tutt, the 2020 NSW Young Australian of the Year. Perfect for schools, libraries, and curious young minds, these books explore captivating topics while incorporating Indigenous knowledge.

Australian Geographic captures the spirit of Australia, and strives to inspire, entertain and educate children with engaging stories, fascinating facts and amazing photography. Australian Geographic endeavours to leave our planet a better place, supporting conservation efforts, adventure and community projects – but most importantly they encourage the next generation to love the world we live in. Founded by proud Kamilaroi man Corey Tutt OAM, DeadlyScience emerged with a powerful mission: to address the inequalities in educational resources and opportunities that discourage First Nations youth from pursuing their passions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the First Scientists of this land, and DeadlyScience is dedicated to celebrating and preserving that legacy. Through their programs and resources, DeadlyScience are breaking down barriers for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across Australia and inspiring the next generation of deadly scientists, innovators, engineers, and mathematicians.
