Continent in crisis PB 1990 VGC ISBN: 0-14-011169-7 200pg
Australia boasts the oddest assortment of plants and animals on earth, and yet we are pushing many of them to the brink of extinction. The reasons have to do with overcrowding and over-exploitation. W ehave demanded more of this fragile continent than it should ever have been expected to deliver: put simply, there are more people in Australia today than the country can support, and the economic and social impact of that situation has yet to be appreciated. David Smith argues passionately that if the beauty and intricacy of our natural heritage is better appreciated through understanding, then conservation will follow quite naturally. We can no longer get away with the former colonial attitude of rip in, rip off, and race away. We have no choice now but to move in the direction of self-sustaining use of our natural resources; in this Australia could become a model for the rest of the world. To do otherwise is to court certain disaster.

Reader’s Digest: The Last Two Million Years HC GC-VGC ISBN: 0-8643-007-0 488pg
From a review:-
"In the realm of education, there exist relatively few resources that match this thick faux marble book in terms of it's coverage. I must grant that the information in the forward about the paradigm of evolution through common descent is not just old, but that it is clearly out of step with what the Genome project has confirmed about the Out of Africa theories. Oh yes, and the label applied to Homo Habalis, "1490 Man" is a cue alone to the age of this volume. But please forgive its anachronisms. This was, and remains a ground-breaking publication for Readers Digest, or any house for that matter, simply for all of the fields that it covers in such and interesting and lucid narrative. I started reading this at the age of 5. I can only hope that there is something comparable in the publishing world that would amount to an update on this. The Universe in a Nutshell by Hawkings is not enough".
