Softcover. Condition: new. A New Scientist Best Popular Science Book of the Year"This is the book Ive been waiting for." -Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an OctopusAn Australian biologist delves into the extraordinary world of koalas, from their ancient ancestors to the current threats to their survival.Koalas regularly appeared in Australian biologist Danielle Clodes backyard, but it was only when a bushfire threatened that she truly paid them attention. She soon realized how much she had to learn about these complex and mysterious animals.In vivid, descriptive prose, Clode embarks on a delightful and surprising journey through evolutionary biology, natural history, and ecology to understand where these enigmatic animals came from and what their future may hold. She begins her search with the fossils of ancient giant koalas, delving into why the modern koala has become the lone survivor of a once-diverse family of uniquely Australian marsupials.Koala investigates the remarkable physiology of these charismatic creatures. Born the size of tiny jellybeans, joeys face an uphill battle, from crawling into their mothers pouch to being weaned onto a toxic diet of gum-tree leaves, the koalas single source of food.Clode explores the complex relationship and unexpected connections between this endearing species and humans. She explains how koalas are simultaneously threatened with extinction in some areas due to disease, climate change, and increasing wildfires, while overpopulating forests in other parts of the country.Deeply researched and filled with wonder, Koala is both a tender and inquisitive paean to a species unlike any other and a call to ensure its survival. 2 maps.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An immersive, entertaining journey into the hidden life of the koala, revealing what life is really like up in the trees'Clode is a master at popularising science and making the complex understandable . An important book that focuses on the koala but is really an impassioned and informed plea for the conservation of Australia's flora, fauna, and wild places. This is natural history and science writing at its best.' -Peter Menkhorst, Australian Book ReviewWinner of Popular Ecology Award at the 2023 Whitley AwardsDespite their iconic status and celebrity, koalas remain something of a mystery. Often affectionate in captivity, they seek out human assistance when in need of water or care yet can also be fierce and belligerent. They are beloved worldwide and feature in popular children's stories, but are also plagued by sexually transmitted diseases and maligned for a lack of intelligence. Their diet consists solely of leaves that are full of toxins. In some states they are threatened with extinction, while in others they are dying from overpopulation.Fuelled by her biologist's background and deep curiosity, Danielle Clode delves into the world of koalas to discover what's behind the sweet face on thousands of postcards. From their megafaunal ancestors to the disastrous effects of colonisation, from remarkable conservation success in the 1920s to the devastating bushfires of 2019-2020, Clode tells the story of koalas and their complex relationship with humans. Sharing the latest scientific insights and myth-busting facts, all woven through Clode's award-winning storytelling, Koala takes readers up into the trees to reveal the truth about this extraordinary animal and what must be done to ensure its survival.A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book go towards supporting wildlife conservation efforts in Australia.'A vividly written and thoroughly researched celebration of the lives of koalas. Filled with fascinating and often surprising information, the book is also an invitation to honour and protect these extraordinary animals.' David George Haskell' . the humility of her approach encourages us to interrogate the koala information, or lore, even as we receive it, thus promoting the kind of active reading that must surely enhance the way we go on to experience the landscape around us.' -Gregory Day, The Saturday Age' Danielle Clode is one of our great nature writers - she knows the science from the inside and can systematically lay out masses of information in easily digestible form. But she can also be poetic, evocative and moving.' -Nick Mattiske, Insights Magazine Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A voyage of discovery, nature and untold histories - in the vein of Clare Wright, Edmund de Waal and Helen Macdonald.When the first woman to circumnavigate the world completed her journey in 1775, she returned home without any fanfare at all.Jeanne Barret, an impoverished peasant from Burgundy, disguised herself as a man and sailed on the 1766 Bougainville voyage as the naturalist's assistant. For over two centuries, the story of who this young woman was, why she left her home to undertake such a perilous journey and what happened when she returned has been shrouded in uncertainty.Biologist and award-winning author Danielle Clode embarks on a journey to solve the mysteries surrounding Jeanne Barret. From archives, herbariums and museums to untouched forests and open oceans, Clode's mission takes her from France and Mauritius to the Pacific Islands and New Guinea to reveal the previously untold full story of Jeanne's life as well as the achievements and challenges of her famous voyage.This book is an ode to the sea, to science and to one remarkable woman who, like all explorers, charted her own course for others to follow.SHORTLISTED FOR THE ADELAIDE FESTIVAL AWARDS FOR LITERATURE NON-FICTION AWARD 2022PRAISE FOR IN SEARCH OF THE WOMAN SAILED THE WORLD'Clode conjures a spellbinding tale of gender, empire, natural history - and the lure of the ocean.' Yves Rees'Seamlessly weaving together memoir, history and science . a fascinating and deeply affecting exploration of voyaging, women's lives, and the stories we tell and the stories we don't.' James Bradley'Biologist, historian, writer, Clode once again demonstrates the connectedness of everything - animals, land, people, plants, sea, sky - at a time when, more than ever, we should be acutely aware of it.' Gay Lynch'A joy to read, simple yet elegant, it whispers in your ear like the sea murmuring from within a shell.' Kristin Weidenbach'Danielle Clode unties the knots of myth and weaves a fascinating story of discovery; Jeanne Barret is one of history's most enigmatic explorers.' Nick Brodie'Clode brings a scientific rigour and a celebration of natural history to the biography of this important woman.' Stephanie Parkyn In Search of the Woman who Sailed the World is an ode to the sea, to science and to one remarkable woman who, like all explorers, charted her own course for others to follow.
