This beautiful book introduces some of Australia’s endangered animals and aims to increase awareness of their plight, and in turn to help encourage greater respect and care for their habitats and the environment.

There is a natural, delicate balance that is disrupted when problems such as habitat destruction, disease and introduced predators push an increasing number of animals towards extinction. And disruption to this balance eventually threatens all forms of life, including human life.

Illustrated using paintings by Australian wildlife artist Natalie Jane Parker who is renowned for the sensitivity, detail, and beauty of her paintings, each one reflecting her passion for her subjects.

This large-format, highly illustrated book guides readers through the key aspects of the human story, from the anatomical changes that allowed us to walk upright and increased brain size in our ancestors, to the social, cultural and economic developments of our more recent cousins and our own species. Along the way, focus spreads take a closer look at some of the key species in our history, from the ancient Australopithecus Afarensis, 'Lucy', to our recent cousins the Neanderthals and ourselves, Homo sapiens.

Looking beyond the anatomical evolution of humans, this book explores how our culture and way of living has evolved, from how trails of cowry shells reveal early trade between tribes, to how and why humans first domesticated animals, and began settling in permanent villages and cities. Through digestible information and absorbing illustration, young readers will be given an insight into their own origins, and what it really means to be a human.

What would happen if there were no bees in the world? It would be a disaster!

As far as important species are concerned, bees are at the top of the list—you really wouldn’t want to live without them!
