ELEPHANT AND THE KANGAROO
Author: T.H. WHITE.
Publisher: Alien Ebooks
ISBN: 1667623834
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
"The Announcement by the Archangel Michael of the coming of a second flood brings into play all the theories, and their practice, of scientifically minded English Mr. White, as he sets about building an ark on an Irish farm. With his landlords, Mike and Mrs. O’Callaghan, and their ability to mishandle his plans, Mr. White encounters a series of cyclonic problems in attempting to carry out his projects:—the choice of animals, necessary cargo and the stupendous job of converting an old barn into an ark. There is the bitterly contemptuous attitude of the town, the strange misadventures—before and after the flood—and the promise the rainbow brings as they are picked up at sea." —Kirkus Reviews

Tree-kangaroos of Australia and New Guinea
Author: Roger William Martin
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 064309072X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
To many people, the suggestion that a kangaroo could live up a tree is fantasy. Yet, in the rainforests of Far North Queensland and New Guinea, there are extraordinary kangaroos that do just that. Many aspects of these marsupials' anatomy and biology suggest a terrestrial kangaroo ancestor. Yet no one has, so far, come forward with a convincing explanation of how, why and when mammals that was so superbly adapted for life on the ground should end up back in the trees. This book reviews the natural history and biology of tree-kangaroos from the time of their first discovery by Europeans in the jungles of West Papua in 1826 right up to the present day, covering the latest research being conducted in Australian and New Guinea. Combining information from a number of disparate disciplines, the author sets forth the first explanation of this apparent evolutionary conundrum. Features * Provides a fascinating and readable account of an unusual evolutionary conundrum * Written by a field biologist with more than a decade's experience working with tree-kangaroos

Cloud Surfing
Author: Bill Austen
Publisher: Australian Self Publishing Group
ISBN: 1922327883
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Bill Austen had some scary experiences; it came with the job of being a pilot. Having something go wrong at 90% of the speed of sound can really grab your attention. Flying big jets around the world for over forty years provided plenty of aviation stories, not just the scary ones but funny and sad ones as well. Adrenaline pumping days were matched by wondrous experiences - there were plenty of highs in the job and not too many lows. In CLOUD SURFING the stories unfold with the technical details described in everyday l jumping into pools wearing lifejackets as well as a tip on how to avoid stray bullets. All this helps explain the excitement Jumbo pilots feel every time they go to work; pilots essentially strap a 400 ton aircraft to their backs then hurtle off around the world, going as fast and as high as they possibly can.
