Andrew Baker is Senior Lecturer in Ecology at Queensland University of Technology and author of several books, including the Field Companion to the Mammals of Australia. Andrew has discovered six new species of carnivorous marsupial, two of which are being considered for Endangered Species Listing. Chris Dickman is Professor in Ecology at the University of Sydney and world expert on marsupials. Over his 30-year career, he has studied and discovered numerous carnivorous marsupials. He has produced over 300 publications including the Whitley Medal-winning book A Fragile Balance: The Extraordinary Story of Australian Marsupials.
""The book is informative, beautifully presented and intriguing to read. Perhaps the greatest aspect of this book is that Baker and Dickman take the reader on a unique journey of their careers researching marsupial carnivores. As a wildlife researcher, this journey and affection for their study species is particularly inspirational. Providing the reader with a small window into the mysterious lives of these charismatic and sturdy creatures, Baker and Dickman encourage us to join them in caring about their plight."" Judy Dunlop, Austral Ecology 44(2), 2019 ""To be sure, this book fills a gap; it is also just a very interesting read for anyone with inclinations toward natural history. It should stimulate new generations to continue the study and conservation of this fascinating group of mammals."" Analía M. Forasiepi, Journal of Mammalian Evolution 26(2), 2019 ""This is an outstanding book, deserving of a spot in the library of any practising mammalogist. Furthermore, it contains a wealth of up-to-date information that could be incorporated into a mammalogy or life-history strategy course, and I can easily envision it being used as the main text for a course on carnivorous marsupials. As such, I highly recommend the Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials."" Brian S. Arbogast, Journal of Mammalogy 100(2), 2019
