This book describes and illustrates 223 of the most important native trees, selected because of their environmental significance, their importance to the timber industry, or because they are conspicuous in the landscape. The criteria used to select species were that they should be important to the timber industry, conspicuous in the landscape or of environmental importance. Consideration was given also to a range of species from across the Australian landscape eg for a large genus like Melaleuca, the main species from most Australian States were included. With these criteria a total of 137 euclaypt species and 86 non-eucalypt species were selected. This enlarged considerably the scope of the previous edition which contained 116 eucalypt and 15 non-eucalypt species. Of note is the increased number of non-eucalypt species, particularly of some important rainforest species, and new descriptions of several generic groups. Descriptions of the more important rainforest species were largely avoided, for various reasons, in previous editions of "Forest Trees of Australia". A special feature of the book is the extensive use of black and white photography to illustrate each species. This incorporated the novel use of flash photography to illustrate leaf venation and the use of scanning electron microgreaphs (S.E.M.) to illustrate finer botanical features, readily seen by the naked eye or with the aid of a small hand-lens but too small to be illustrated satisfactorily by normal macrophotographic techniques.

Forest Trees of Australia is the essential reference for observing, identifying and obtaining information on the native trees in this country. It describes and illustrates over 300 of the most important indigenous trees, which have been carefully selected for their environmental significance, their importance to the timber industry, or their prominence in the landscape. This new and thoroughly revised edition has been fully updated throughout and includes treatments of 72 additional species. New maps and photographs show a wonderfully diverse range of forests, from mangrove swamps, tropical regions and deserts, to alpine areas and majestic stands of temperate forests. A color section illustrates some of the major forest types of Australia and bark from a diverse range of species. Forest Trees of Australia is an unsurpassed guide to identification for horticulturists, botanists, foresters, students, farmers, environmentalists and all those who are interested in Australian native trees.

'A tragic comedy, perfectly balanced to make you laugh and cry.' - The Wishing Shelf Book AwardsEdward Phillips is just like you. He has fears, dreams, anxiety, depression, a weak bladder, an irritable bowel... alright, maybe not you specifically, but the point is that we all have issues - whether they're big, small, physical or mental. Edward can be found lost inside of his head trying to find himself. I'm not sure exactly how long he's been there, but he hasn't left his flat for over a year, and you can smell the ammonia from down the street.It isn't until Edward has a surprise visit from a longtime self-proclaimed friend, Hugo Prescott, that his life finally gets back on the move. It may be moving in the wrong direction and heading towards a devastating destination, but at least it's moving. With Prescott's obstructive assistance, Edward is confident that if anything gets in his way, he can quickly turn and run for his life. The only problem is that his panic-inducing thoughts keep catching up to him.
