[audiobook] Monhegan: A Guide to Maine's Fabled Islands by Mark Warner at Arts-Photography

Description

Australia is a land of many unique animals; some of which are active only during the cooler evening and night-time and so are rarely seen. These are the after dark animals so widespread yet so little noticed by humans; whether in our backyards; the arid desert; woodlands or rainforest.Australian Wildlife After Dark brings this hidden fauna into the light. The after dark fauna includes a surprising diversity of familiar (and some not-so-familiar) species; from cockroaches; moths and spiders through to bandicoots; bats and birds ndash; and then some. Each example is described in a unique; friendly style by Martyn Robinson; familiar to many Australians through his frequent media appearances on ABC Radio and in Burkersquo;s Backyard magazine; and Bruce Thomson; an internationally renowned wildlife photographer and bat researcher. The book includes stunning photography and boxes that highlight selected topics; such as the lsquo;windscreen wiperrsquo; eyelids of geckoes and the strategies used by night-time plants to attract pollinators. Also included are practical tips on finding nocturnal wildlife; a glossary of scientific terms and a short bibliography.The book will appeal to a general family audience; wildlife enthusiasts; bushwalkers; amateur naturalists; national parks lovers; natural history museum visitors; libraries; gift book buyers and international visitors to Australia.
