Flora And Fauna Of Alpine Australasia Ages And Origns
Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature
Flora and Fauna of Alpine Australasia: Ages and Origins by Bryan Barlow is the go-to 1986 reference for anyone curious about Australia’s high-country ecosystems. Across 543 illustrated pages, Barlow unpacks the evolutionary backstory of alpine plants and animals, making it a must-have for bushwalkers, naturalists and gardeners tackling cool-climate zones.
The book’s generous line drawings and habitat photographs turn complex botany into practical knowledge for identifying snow-gums, cushion plants and rare alpine flowers. Gardeners will appreciate the notes on soil, exposure and propagation, while students of biogeography can trace how Ice-Age climates shaped today’s fragile communities.
This sturdy paperback from CSIRO shows only light foxing on a few leaves; the binding is tight and every page is clean and readable. It comes from a smoke-free home and is ready for field trips, potting benches or quiet armchair exploration.
