Remnants of Gondwana: A Natural Social History of Gondwana Rainforests of Australia by Roger Kitching offers a vivid exploration of Australia’s ancient rainforests, weaving together ecology, botany and cultural history for readers of all ages. The book’s engaging narrative makes it a valuable resource for young adults, school projects and anyone interested in natural history.
Kitching’s text highlights the unique flora and fauna of the Gondwanan rainforests, while also addressing the Indigenous Australian connections to these landscapes. Readers will find a balanced mix of scientific insight and social context that brings the forest ecosystems to life.
Published in 2010 by Surrey Beatty & Sons, this 351‑page trade paperback is in good reading condition with a tight binding. The cover shows some scuffing and wear, and there is light foxing on the front and back inner covers as well as the first two and last two pages, but the book is free of writing, dog‑ears and comes from a smoke‑free home.
Overall, Remnants of Gondwana is a well‑crafted, informative volume that appeals to collectors, educators and nature enthusiasts alike.
