Education & Reference Science & Nature Australiana
The Insects of Australia by CSIRO is the 1979 hardcover bible for anyone fascinated by Australian entomology. This weighty, fully illustrated volume surveys the continent’s staggering diversity of insects in crisp scientific detail.
Inside, hundreds of line drawings and colour plates make identification straightforward for students, naturalists, and collectors. Compiled by Australia’s leading scientists, the book doubles as a reliable reference and a handsome shelf statement.
This used copy is clean and tight: pages are free of notes and dog-ears, and the binding remains solid. Light foxing appears only on the closed edge and front endpaper, leaving the main text block bright and readable.
An ideal addition to a zoology library or bush-lover’s bookcase, this durable 1979 edition is becoming harder to find in such tidy condition.
